I totally agree with this one > "Instead of using a postpaid cellphone subscription, use a prepaid one." I hate monthly subscriptions. Most of the time, you're stuck with the "monthly plan", even if the service sucks. I used to have a PhP 800 monthly mobile postpaid plan around 5 years ago...until my phone got disconnected and I was not able to use it for weeks. The sad part was, I still had to pay for those unused "weeks" because I was on a postpaid plan. :( I'll never go back to postpaid. I am better off with prepaid where I have more control and peace of mind knowing that I only pay for what I consume. :) Nice tips Celine!
