Keeping my phone on while I search - 10 months and counting

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. Did you qualify for any programmes?

Keep the number you use for job applications, even if you change plans. Employers will call it.

Libraries lend Wi-Fi hotspots in some towns. Mine lent one for three weeks.
