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. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. What else should I consider?

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

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