Phone and internet help for people out of work (update)

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. What else should I consider?

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

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