this phone bill - is it a mobile phone? If so, I would switch to a pay as you go tariff. That removes the temptation of making more calls than you can afford. If you need to make contact with family etc (i.e essential calls) i would use email, or Skype.
then i would get a little saturday job. You could just do this on a temporary basis until you clear your phone bill debts, or you could do it throughout your studies to bolster your income. .

Aside from the obvious cutting back on your calling, check first with the phone carrier and see what extras you have originally signed up for on your monthly contract that you can drop at this time. All the little "extras" can be costly...drop if you can the call-waiting, call forwarding, text messaging, etc. This should help while you are looking for employment to offset the rest of the bill.
Good luck!

Just ring them up and say you cant afford it this time, That you didnt realise that getting a contract for £40 was foolish with no income. Im sure they will understand. These multi-national companies are quite approachable you know. If that doesnt work they will probably send big, burly debt collectors round to take everything you havent got. Sorry.

a. Make less phone calls.
b. Borrow money from someone who won't charge you even more later.
c. take money out of the bank.
d. get a part time job.
e. enter a contest or game of chance for money. (BEWARE: Of scratch cards, lottery, or keno because you can actually loose more money then you can make.

give it to an appropriate adult until you are mature enough for the responsibility of a mobile phone. or stop blowing your cash on booze and prostitutes

use a pre payment method either mobile or landline then you wont have a bill, if you can't afford it you just don't top it up.
