Keeping my phone on while I search - what worked for you?

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. It has been weighing on me all week. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. Did you qualify for any programmes?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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