Keeping my phone on while I search - any advice?

My home internet costs more than I can manage on unemployment. Any experience at all would help. Employers call and email constantly. What did you switch to?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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