Not much to brag about
« on: October 02, 2013, 05:31:01 PM »
But I got my AirVoice sim card and cut it down to size with scissors to fit an iPhone 4! Didn't work until I did some delicate surgery with a tiny strip of plastic, but it was so exciting to see my service light up on the second try! Cuts my phone bill neatly in half and seems to have better service than T-Ignoble. ($30 unlimited plan, I'm still a junior Mustachian but might cut back on texting someday.) Just had to share my excitement! I've been digging into MMM for just a couple of weeks now and this is my first real budget chopper other than cheaper groceries. Here's to a growing 'stash.

One thing I did to get myself down to the $10 plans is to couple it with a VOIP setup (google voice for instance), and start stock-piling Wifi network logins on the phone.  That way whenever you go to places you frequent that have wifi you basically hop from safe-zone to safe-zone with free phone access.  Google voice does free send/receive texting now too.

The other unanticipated added bonus is that I can get phone access where the radio towers can't get to if there's a Wifi connection.  So if I'm in the bowels of a large building and there's Wifi access, I get clear reception where others have no signal.

Think about it!
