WhistleOut spokesperson Kenny McGilvary gives advice on how not checking your phone bill is costing you money.

Australians could be saving millions of dollars each year if they changed their mobile phone plans, according to experts.

Phone plans are costing Australians more than $770 million a month but that number could be much lower if people bothered to change their contracts.

WhistleOut spokesman Kenny McGilvary said a 'set and forget' mentality meant that customers are missing out on cheap mobile phone plans.
