Folks, I had shifted to a post paid mobile connection, a few months back. The idea was to escape from the frequent recharges. And I did escape from that. But after a couple of months I realized that my per month mobile expenses were soaring like never before. I had to do something. I requested for a detailed bill from my service provider, so that I could identify the possible areas for cutting mobile costs. For the sake of not getting sued, I wouldn't tell you which my service provider is. It’s the one whose ads feature this round headed thing called boo boo, doo doo or something. Too tough a clue, I guess.
