Cell phones are a ubiquitous part of modern life. Pew Research Center data indicates that 97 percent of Americans own a cell phone, with the average monthly bill being $144. Given the annual cost is $1,728 for a wireless plan, it's worth exploring potential savings available to health care workers.
