CNet: Is Your Small Business Overpaying For Cellular Service?
The study is from BillShrink, which offers a service that analyses a subscribers’ cell phone bills and figure out the best – and least expensive – service for them.
“The average U.S. wireless subscriber is overpaying on his or her cell phone bill by $336 a year, according to a study by BillShrink, a search engine designed to help people find the best service deals to meet their needs.
About 80 percent of U.S. wireless subscribers miscalculate how many anytime voice minutes, text messages, and megabytes of data they need, BillShrink found. As a result, consumers are purchasing wireless plans that don’t fit their needs and are actually costing them more money. Collectively, this results in the wireless industry pulling in an extra $79 million for services consumers don’t actually need or use.”
