Are your phone bills exorbitant? Or am I the only one whose one month’s phone bill could feed an entire family of four? And this, when you’re just starting out on your career, is not a good sign. Especially when your first priority should be saving up for a rainy day. And specially when you are an obsessive compulsive mobile-happy megalomaniac who calls up the vaguest of people just because you have a mobile phone in your hands. This calls for desperate measures. This article provides some cheap low-down tips that one can use to reduce one’s phone bills drastically.
The Gods are in your favour or at least the Cellular Service Provider Companies are. Incoming calls are free. That is the Golden Rule.
Talk only when the call is incoming, unless it is a life-and-death situation.
Now, the question is, how do you get other people to call you? The following could help:
· Call your family/friends/etc when you know they’re at their busiest. They will invariably say that they can’t talk now and that they will call you back.
· Get sexy and flirtatious. Don’t scoff. This really works. (At least with some people.) Give that mysterious grin and the irresistible smile when you’re parting with people who could be potential callers and say, “Call me.”
· Pretend that your phone has a problem. It keeps disconnecting on its own. Call whoever you want to talk to and disconnect before they pick up. Later you can always complain about the fact that your mobile has a problem.
· Use other people’s phone to message your family/friends/etc. and ask them to call you back as you have no money left on your cash card. This alas does not work with people who have a post-paid connection like me. But I can assure you this works. I have called back many of my friends when they have begged no-money-in-the-cash-card-so-please-call-me-back.
· If you have friends who love being up to date with gossip, just sms a hint that you might have something for them. The better you are at showing the bait the faster you will receive their call.
· The last option of course is to plead bankruptcy.
All my friends who are reading this please call. I am broke.
