You're probably paying too much
    In Illinois, mobile phone users are paying hundreds of extra dollars every year for unused minutes and unnecessary services. The CUB studied 4,400 cell bills entered into its online Cellphone Saver between AUgust 2009 and july 2010 and determined that those consumers are overpaying. In last year, the CUB conducted analyzing 6,985 bills. The lost savings added up to an average of $331 a year.Those probelm is paying for extra services that may not be a good value, such as insurance, directory assistance and roadside assistance. The CUB said consumers unwittingly opt into programs that tack monthly recurring charges onto their bills, often for downloads such as ringtones and wallpapers.

   In my opinion, having a cell phones is not a bad idea but every month pays too much because sent over limits texting downloading ringtones etc. Each year, every member family have to pay more than they thought.
