Keeping my phone on while I search after 15 years as an insurance claims processor

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. I am in Spokane, in case local advice matters. 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.
