Phone Bills
- A pay-as-you-go mobile will save you any nasty surprises as you can only spend to a pre-paid limit. Call costs are higher but there is no monthly fee
- If you’re on a contract, stick to the free minutes and texts included in the tariff. To find the best mobile phone package for you check out the related link
- Pay phone bills on time to avoid late charges
- If you live in a shared house and phone bills are escalating, think about installing a line which allows incoming calls (and 999) only
- Alternatively, request an itemised bill and ask everyone in the house to keep a record of their phone calls
- Don’t forget to cancel phone and broadband contracts when you move out

| “In my 2nd year I lived with 4 other people. Phone bills were a nightmare - I made the mistake of getting the bill put in my name. I asked for itemised bills but this meant spending hours going through pages of phonecalls trying to work out whose were whose. There were always arguments and one girl still owes me about £100. There’s no way I’d do it again!” Rachel, 5th year |
