Cut phone cost during pre-wedding
After engagement couple starts communicating with each other to share their view and learn each other better. Most of the couple now a day does communicate through mobiles. It is one means of sharing the past stories of your fiancé or fiancée. As days goes the usage becomes unrestricted in turn raising the mobile bills.
This increasing mobile bill happens to be the additional expense which you never plan. One of my friend spent his one month salary on his mobile bill. Talking for hours over the phone with your fiancé or fiancée is natural instinct, but we need to plan it better to avoid paying the telephone operator more. I have listed few options for couple to follow after their engagement.
Getting a corporate connection with unlimited free talk time between your mobiles. I would suggest gifting a mobile with one such connection on engagement day is the ideal gift. Getting a plan with your fiancé or fiancée can cut the costs of your monthly payments. Just make sure to get a plan with rollover minutes and free nights and weekends. This way, there will be plenty of minutes for everyone in the plan\
Select the best plan provided by the cell phone providers and use it effectively. Upload your latest bill to free site Billshrink.com, and it will analyze more than 200 plan combinations — even factoring in reception and the cost to switch providers — to help you find the best deal.
If you talk on your cell phone fewer than 200 minutes per month, switch to pay-as-you-go service. Nearly one-third of consumers would save money by going this route. Crunch the numbers to see which offerings work best with your phone habits. But use rate cutters to slash the rate.
3) If your partner happens to be in foreign county you can use Skype. It offers a service where the couples can download Skype to their mobiles and chat for free. Check in the below link for details

4) Getting a VOIP connection will save lot of money instead of going with calling cards.
So don’t restrict yourself from sharing your thought. Keep talking.
