Phone and internet help for people out of work - any advice?

I use my phone as my only connection. Thank you in advance. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. Did you qualify for any programmes?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
