How Much Does your Mobile Phone Bill Come?

Mobile Phones are quite hard to live with. It’s so common these days that you find people using them everywhere. Sometimes the people who mobile phones even gives you shock!,yea you can even see beggars using it!.

I was just wondering how much people spend on mobile phones per month. Ive been a hutch (vodafone India) postpaid customer in bangalore and i shell out nearly 1000-2000 rupees per month on my phone. I simply cant have a control over my phone bills. I know people who shell out more thousands on their bills, Who keep getting calls from the Mobile customer care reminding them to pay their bills and they have exceeded their maximum Mobile phone credit limits.

Ive just crossed my credit limit once. My bills are quite dwindling. If one month if it reaches 2000 next month i try hard to reduce my calls and then getz  a bill of 1000+.Next month it’s more talktime on air.

Some Tips to reduce Phone Bills

1) Select the best network. Analyse your calls, whom you call often what network they are using. If all your friends are with a particular network and your majority of the calls are to that network. just simply go get a connection of that network.

2) Decide on Prepaid / Postpaid. I choose to be postpaid because of the freedom that ill have to pay my bill just once and because of the free offers and the std pack that i got with the hutch. I had only 75ps for my std to hutch phone. I got home a hutch phone(my home in cochin the range isnt that good) and i still end up calling landline which just shoots up my bills. If you dont have much calls,then choose a prepaid or a lower postpaid plan. Talk to the Callcenter of a Mobile Phone representative and decide on your Plan. The best advice is Be WISE.

3)  All you can do to control your bills is Select the best Plan and  have a control over your phone.

4) Lovers Either get a CUG or Lover Pack. Almost all network has couple packs which has unlimited free calls among two sim’s.

5) Finally, Know yourself and your salary :D. Do Not make calls’s inspite of the fact that you know it will be hard to pay. I know my friends who keep borrowing to pay of their Bills.

Final question to you guys. How much do you Pay as bills for your phone?

Himesh Reshmiya in Burkha

In one of the latest development Himesh Reshammiya has created a controversy by visiting the holy tomb of Khawja Moinuddhin Chishti wearing a burqa ,for which he apologised later.

It’s nice to see Himesh without the caps and the picture showing him in burga has been modified with a cap above the burqa and giving a nice laugh to all those who hate Himesh,or atleast to the large no of hate communities in orkut.
