I have to have a cellphone so that potential employers can call me, however I don't have enough money to pay for it, fun fun. I upgraded from a prepaid to a cricket phone because it does more and I can do more on the go, however the bill is a little higher. I keep just making payments when I can and praying that I can find a job soon and get my bill straightened out! I should try to use chacha. I can't use a landline because the people I live with are going to shut that off soon, and even so no one ever answers the phone here. All I can do is pray and hope that I can find something soon. What a Lovely Predicament. Anyone else have to do this?

That's so sad! It's like a chicken-and-egg predicament. I do hope you find a job soon. Or that you can get to these responses so that in a little way it may help in paying your bills. Goodluck!

My granddaughter has had to have her cell phone turned off because she can't trust her husband to pay it since he dumped her and the baby and went back to live with mommy. So she uses the phone of a friend of hers alot becuase she is with them most of the time anymore. It's tough!

Well, I really do hope you can find some luck. This situation sounds harsh, but there are people out there that are in a far worse situation. I think making money with chacha is a little harder now because less people use it now. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't know. Well good luck though. and for everything you buy, you should try to use coupons. :D

Nope, I am still using a prepaid, and the land line. It gets really depressing. One thing waiting for another so that you can take care of business.

I have a landline I use for internet but the person does not want me to make a lot of calls on the landline. I use my cellphone for most important calls. I need to make on the phone.
