IF you are looking for ways to trim your cellphone bill, your cable or internet provider may be able to save you money. But, there are potential downsides.

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are working to determine if two overnight burglaries might be the work of one criminal. Both businesses that were targeted have cell phones for sale, and had broken windows as a result of the crimes. A few minutes later, they had a similar call regarding a Spectrum store, located about five miles away in the 3100 block of SE Military. However, like the Cricket store, Spectrum also sells cell phones, according to a sign on its window. Police used their helicopter to search the neighborhoods near the stores but they did not find the burglars.

Unless you’re in a promotional offer, if you subscribe to AT&T’s DirectTV or U-Verse, Spectrum internet or Comcast’s Xfinity cable or internet, you may be seeing higher bills. “It’s becoming an annual thing for companies to raise prices on TV and internet service,” said Consumer Reports Tech Editor Jim Willcox. This week, AT&T increased prices on most DirectTV and U-Verse packages by an extra $5 to $9 a month. Some Charter Spectrum internet customers just saw their bills jump by $5 a month. A new law requires cable and satellite TV companies to disclose the complete monthly price of the bill, including taxes and fees, when you sign up.
