Phone and internet help for people out of work - what worked for you?

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income.

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 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
