Dang it. Just got the power bill. *grumble, gripe, complain*

I've had the heat on each morning for about 30 minutes or so and now I'm paying for it. What normally is about $70 is $105. Grrrr! Such a small house too! I know it's winter and it's unavoidable but I want to gripe anyway.

30 minutes = another $30+ ? ....

Speaking of bills, how high does your cell phone bill run? Mine's about $100 a month (2 phones, shared minutes). As soon as my contract's up, I'm switching to a pay as you go service. -
just go my electricity bill... about $235 per month... it worked out to about $700 and a little for a quater.. nearly fainted... but then I have a large house.. still cheaper than what my dad is paying in sg though...
run a shared phone plan, shared minutes, with certain numbers on free calls, and free back to base calls... about $90-110 per month... -

Harlo Uncle, you neber read ah. Under contract.Originally posted by mhcampboy:why never use comcast!? Another year till it's up.
I was a Sprint customer when we were in Hawaii and I liked the service. So it never occured to me to switch to another provider when we got back stateside. Boy, things change so quickly when you're away for a few years. I've got my eye on the Go phone. -
Brey, thanks for the tip. Plans here are diff and vary from company to company. I'm stuck in a 2 year agreement. $200 penalty for breaking before time is up.Originally posted by breytonhartge:just go my electricity bill... about $235 per month... it worked out to about $700 and a little for a quater.. nearly fainted... but then I have a large house.. still cheaper than what my dad is paying in sg though...

My cellphone service is through T-Mobile. It's for a single phone, and I pay $30 a month for 350 weekday minutes and unlimited weekend minutes per month.Originally posted by jetta:Speaking of bills, how high does your cell phone bill run?

I don't have a landline service anymore. Dropped that sucker like a hot rock a few years ago as the phone company was finding new and creative ways every month to add all manner of silly surcharges (taxes, recovery fees, access fees, franchise fees, etc. etc.) to jack up the bill. They could do this with impunity because there was essentially no competition among landline phone service providers in a particular neighbourhood, i.e., the phone company that laid the lines in a neighbourhood was the one that provided the service.
With cellphone service providers, it's a different story. The competition is pretty intense, and the consumer is usually able to net a good deal. -

I don't make as many calls on my cell as I used to. Good thing I can write it off as a business expense. If both the kids had cells, I'd drop the land line but they don't so I can't.
