Finally switching my cell phone number April 29, 2008

Posted by gmbmfb in : saving money , trackback

Well, since I’m done my probation period, and since I’ve accepted the new salary offer and am staying in Vancouver … I should probably change my cell phone number over.

My cell phone bills have been around $10-15 more per month due to LD charges. When I answer my phone here, I get charged 10 cents/min (billed by the second) … but I can make local calls for free. It would be a lot easier if I just switched over to a Vancouver number. At the very least, I would be saving money.

It shouldn’t change my current cell phone plan … and if it does, then I’ll have to think long and hard about switching my number. My plan right now is so sweet. And if I had to pay for everything that I get, it would cost me more per month than the LD charges I’m paying right now.

Isn’t it funny, that something so trivial can make you feel connected to where you came from? I remember when I moved to go to university, there was a 3 hr. time difference … and for the first 4 months I was there, I refused to change the time on my watch. It made me feel connected to who I was, and where I came from. Even though having the wrong time confused the hell out of me, and every time someone asked what time it was, I must have looked like a moron just staring at my watch, trying to subtract 3 hours (and then when I finally switched my watch over, I still kept subtracting 3 hrs., which probably made me look even more like an idiot). For some reason, it was a huge deal for me to finally give in and switch it to the proper time zone. It’s the same thing with my cell phone number. By switching area codes, I’m finally giving into the fact that I live somewhere else now, and I no longer live in my hometown.

So I’m going to add it to my May Monthly Goals … to figure out my cell phone predicament.
