I decided to switch over to prepaid because at least I feel like I'm paying for the actual time and calls I need the phone for. Take for instance the prepaid company Net10 that actually charges .10 a call domestically and .15 for international with no contract. If you are a medium to low cell phone user, a company like Net10 has the potential to save you more than $60 a month and still offer you quality service on the TMobile network. I, personally, do not have the service, but my mother and grandmother do and really swear by it. If I can actually cut down on my calls and texting, I might give Net10 a try.

I changed my address to FL when I moved down and kept NY number, and my taxes haven't changed. Maybe that's because they tax about the same? Thanks for this info on this! I'll definitely do it with my new phone. So you kept the CA number and just changed the address? I changed my address to FL when I moved down and kept NY number, and my taxes haven't changed.
