Cutting call costs
If you know you're going to be spending most of your time in places with Wi-Fi, you can save big by ditching your mobile phone plan and routing calls to your old number through Skype or Google Voice.
You can also take advantage of Wi-Fi calling by signing up with upstart carrier Republic Wireless, which keeps costs low by sending data over Wi-Fi whenever a network is available. Republic offers cellular voice and text service plus data over Wi-Fi for just $10 a month.
