Cellphone Plans
If credit cards can cause financial woes, cellphone plans are not far behind. Group members should present a report on cellphone plans, addressing each of the following questions: What are the monthly fees for these plans and what features are included? What happens if you use the phone more than the plan allows? Are there higher rates for texting and Internet access? What additional charges are imposed by the carrier on top of the monthly fee? What are the termination fees if you default on the plan? What can happen to your credit report and your credit score in the event of early termination? Does the carrier use free T-shirts, phones, and other items to entice new subscribers into binging contracts? What suggestions can the group offer to avoid financial difficulties with these plans?
