Cell Phone Savings at The Press of A Button

Picture this.

You are pressed for time and need to leave a message for your friend.  The person you are calling has a voicemail message that seems to prattle for minutes, and all you want is to get to the beep.  The average voicemail introduction and following message such as, when you’re finished your recording, you may hang up, or press 1 for more options, takes at least 12 seconds per call.  But with one simple keystroke you can bypass this time waster and get right to the beep.  Pressing one button can save minutes off your plan every month and leave you feeling just a little less frenzied.

Cell providers have varied buttons that trigger the same action. Here’s how it breaks down for each cell provider.

Bell: press #
Verizon or Cingular: press *
Sprint: press 1
Rogers/ Fido: press #
T-Mobile: press #
Telus/ Koodoo: press #

What a simple trick! It really is little things like this that can save your sanity and your bank account.
