Where can I get all of these for the cheapest?
I am moving into an apartment and I need to know anything and everything about these services and what I need.
Who should I turn to? How much are they going to charge up front? Do I get a seperate bill from my rent or is it all included?
Who do I call when I move in? What other bills besides rent, electric and cable services am I going to have to deal with? The apartments I am moving into are all bills paid except electric.
What do I need?

It really depends on where you are moving too. most places out here in Cali charge seperately. if you know where you are moving the apt. complex usually has a list of the local electric co's. you should not have to worry about getting anything turned on until after you sign the lease, and then it can be usually turned on in a day or 2 if it'snot already on. they may charge $15 or $20 deposit, but they will just add that on to your first bill. other than that you just might need to find your locak cable co. in that area and give them a call.

Those things should just be included in your rent. You probably will just have a local service for phone and power. Youre lucky to find a place that includes power, cable, and phone. Its typically just water, sewer, and garbage. Ask your apartment manager about these things, they will help you get all set up, no worries. You may have to pay deposits and things for your phone, power, etc. Also consider costs of car insurance, health insurance, gas, food, misc, clothes, etc. Hope you have that all budgeted out well!

as far as electric and such goes you most likely only have one place to get that, as far as cable goes if allowed you can dishnetwork or directv for a $50.oo refundable fee, the 50 is given to you as a credit on your first months bill, satellite tv is cheaper than cable and offers far better service, as far as phone you can use acell phone at the house as well as take it on the road making only one phone bill, if you want internet service you can get that over satellite just go ont web to wildblue .com great new company.
