In 2008 I got my first Blackberry. My average monthly bill has been $192. Over a year and a half my phone has cost me over three thousand dollars and quite frankly that makes me want to cry. This was how it all happened.
When I purchased my smartphone I was in spending denial for the first six months. By mid 2009 I had an attack of guilt and forced myself to use my landline more. Finally I brought the bill down to under $100, but make no mistake I was still paying the $35 for a land line so in effect I was still paying over $100. In August 2009 I moved and who bothers with a land line anymore? What a disaster! My bills skyrocketed. I jacked up the minutes package to avoid getting dinged on per minute charges. Somehow it didn’t work. My base was $110 dollars but how on earth were the charges over $200 still?
I dissected my bills ferociously but it never made any damn sense. When I started working for iTokk I was over the moon about the prospect of bringing down my bill. It still took two months for me to get my act together and get it on my phone (yes and I work for the Company so I know how difficult it is to change your habits). I look back on it now and I realize that I could have saved myself over $245.00 in that two months if I had used it.
My first blog entry addresses the irony of how we are so conditioned to spend that we don’t even consider the alternatives. It's so mental that we think we have to train ourselves out of using our phones whenever we need them. Now, I use iTokk during the day and when I make long distance calls. I don’t have to think about it. I have used $10.00 of talk time on iTokk in two months . . . it's $5 or $100 I guess. Take your pick.
My granny is pretty tech savvy, she has a computer and she uses email, but she doesn't use Skype. Right now with iTokk Mobile you can call your granny, auntie, dad, mom and 2nd cousin once removed (and all other luddites in your address book) free from your Mobile.
What if your not a texter, emailer, or surfer and you want to save big bucks. Get yourself a wifi enabled phone and head to Fido. Pay one dollar a day for unlimited incoming calls. Then, use the wifi to make your outgoing calls through iTokk. The iTokk application literally circumnavigates Fido's thirty cents a minute charges for outgoing. You will pay only five cents per minute with iTokk anywhere in Canada and the US for your outgoing calls.
We are all about getting your monthly smartphone bill down. So when we saw Wind was coming to Vancouver we were excited for you! Wind is the kind of company that compliments iTokk so smartphone users can get the best deal going. Wind has got what you want.
