Phone and internet help for people out of work - first time posting

I use my phone as my only connection. I do not usually post, so bear with me. Employers call and email constantly. What else should I consider?

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 9 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
