Cell Phone Bill

so i recieved my monthly cell phone bill today, and of corse once again i was about 40$ dollars over. Mainly for all the text messaging i do. This made me realize that i would much rather send text messages then actually talk on my phone, for several reasons. First of all, unless a call is extremely important, i really dont care who is calling me or what their message is. All i know is that they are calling me during peak hours which isnt helping my bill either, especially since i with Cell One, quite possibly the worst cell phone company ever. But since my parents pay for it i really have no say in well provider i get, my parents went with cell one for the "family plan," which to me is also stupid being as my parents are probably the people i talk to the least on my cell phone.
Any way i think that texting would not only save money, (if i had unlimited texting or corse) but also it would save me the headache of having to endure most of the stupid phone calls i take part in. When i looked further into this, i came across something, "Seattle based Jott will launch its new voice to text product sometime this week. It’s very simple - a user calls a specific phone number and leaves a voice message along with a recipient or recipients (an obvious use for Jott will be for people to leave themselves quick notes). The voice message will then be converted from voice into text and delivered via email or SMS. The recipient or recipients can choose between reading the text or listening to the original voice message."
This would be a huge time saver, i know personally i hate having to go through voice mail to get my messages it is just a huge pain.

I was in the same situation as you and started looking around for things that could lower costs. I found this cool company called spinvox. They change your voicemail into a text and email. This really saves time and minutes listening to your voicemail. Heres the site: www.spinvox.com
