I have done this with my Cable and phone bills and was able to get a lower rate. I tried it with my credit card, but they wouldnt budge :-) On my cable I was able to get a lower rate because they first wouldnt do anything lower, then i said i wanted to cancel. I got changed to another rep and then POOF...lower bill. I still might close it cause I can plug Hulu into my TV now...but it does feel good to get a lower bill just the same. I never hurts to ask.

I would add, however, that just because you get a better rate doesn't necessarily mean you're suddenly getting the best rate possible. The carriers are in this to make money, not to save you cash in a tough economy. Not to blatantly plug, but I would suggest to everyone reading that after you negotiate with your carrier, check out the online cell bill reduction company that I work for, Validas, which saves people an average of 28 percent off their cells bills through the website http://www.fixmycellbill.com . Our modifications to your plan are uniquely structured around your individual usage patterns; Validas works for you rather than for the cell companies. Check out Validas on Good Morning America at http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/MakeMoney/story?id=7640149&page=1. I bet you'll see that your wireless provider may improve your rates but will not maximize your savings.
