I pay most of my bills on-line, I feel it saves lot of my time and it is convenient too.

I didn't believe that online payment of bills was okay back then but when I tried it, I said, hey it's just that simple?
Now I pay most of my bills through online banking ;)

I pay my telephone bill by cash at their center. My electricity bill is deducted from my salary.
My milkman and newspaper guy pick up the cash from my doorstep.
I drop a cheque for my credit card bill.
So far I have never used the internet to pay for any of my routine bills.

I enjoy the versatile ways of paying bills. It depends mainly on the nature and situation concerned. My son who stays outstation most of the time and I are used to transfer money mutually to settle bills through ebanking. Here, in my place I have pay the water bill at the payment as it couldn’t be paid online.

I've had a lot of trouble in my lifetime with paying bills! They always seemed to catch me when I didn't have any money by surprise!
It took me a lot of years, but I came up with a system that works for me!
What works for me the best is;; I make a list of the bills I know I need to pay with the day they are due and the amount!
I keep all my money in the bank, so the day they are due, I write a check for them,(either mail or take it to them) Then I cross them off my list, and I have a check stub to tell me when I paid it!
This keeps them bills from sneaking up on me!
I don't use online bill paying, because I can't remember which ones I've paid, and this way I have a list, and a copy of the check!

I have set up all my bills on my bank account and I pay all my bills over the phone. I just have to put money into my account and then phone from home to pay my bills. I like this method because then I am never late paying them. I used to go to the bank to pay them and I hated that and usually ended up paying them late.
