Keeping my phone on while I search after 7 years as an HR coordinator

I use my phone as my only connection. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. What else should I consider?

Ask your internet provider about their low-income plan. They rarely advertise it.

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