Cell Phone Plans for less, take action now!

Are you cell phone bills high? This is the question I pose to many, and the overwhelming reply is, "Yes, my bills are high." With over 10 years of experience in the wireless industry we are accustomed to hearing that statement, and so that's why we decided to launch this site, MyBillsAreHigh.com.

Canada is one of the most expensive countries with respect to communication costs. As experts in the industry, we stand witness to how cell phone carriers take advantage of consumers by promoting plans that are designed to make the user incur some form of overage. It would be easy to solely blame the carriers, however the remaining fault lies with the sales agent and the consumer.

Most customers, when shopping for a new plan, place emphasis on getting the cheapest plan instead of the one that best suits their needs. Others concentrate primarily on the device, and its designated price. The majority of in-store agents are commission based; they want to attain your business quickly and move on to the next sale. It's the agents' responsibility to pose many different questions to the consumer such as Do you make long distance calls? Do you use your phone more than 10 minutes a day for outgoing calling? Do you travel long distance? And a list of other questions. Instead of qualifying the customer appropriately, the agent concentrates on providing the client with the cheapest plan, and this is a primal cause of high cell phone bills.

A plan that allocates 200 day minutes and unlimited evenings and weekends seems appealing. So if you think about it, 200 minutes divided by 20 days translates to 10 minutes of talk time per day! When looked at from a different perspective, the plan may seem insufficient. The important take home message is: don't tailor your usage to suit the plan but tailor your plan to suit your usage.

Cell phone companies make loads of money off people's overage fees; they attract a customer by cheap prices, but the customer ends up paying a lot more than originally specified. Be patient and don't rush in making a commitment just to get new hardware. Ensure the agent is taking quality time to assess you, and is actually concerned with the cost of your wireless bill. Dealing with an experienced and dependable agent is essential in acquiring the proper plan and avoiding high cell phone bills.

The majority of carriers do not offer high usage plans at reasonable costs, and the ones that do have limited network capacity or are limiting their clients to certain zones and devices. The majority of carriers promote plans that always have something lacking, and the overage rate is set at extreme amounts. It doesn't make sense as to why it's cheaper to call Canada from Asia or Europe with a local prepaid phone, than to call your family and friends in the U.S and Canada from your Canadian post paid cell phone! We launched our business with the purpose of representing consumers and businesses against the cell phone companies. Our goal is to attain discounts, concessions, and better plans to ensure that our clients are not being subjected to ridiculous overage rates.
