Keeping my phone on while I search after 13 years as an event coordinator

I use my phone as my only connection. There are 13 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income.

I switched to a low-cost plan through my carrier and cut my bill by almost half.

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