I took over the North American IT department of a company based out of New Zealand recently.
Of all the things they handed off to me, the one I wasn't looking forward to the most was the Verizon Wireless account.
Last month I broke down and went through all of the lines. I found:
A few lines that were still in use by former employees (by over a year).
Over 30 lines for tablets (no longer in use by the business).
A dozen full lines that were simply not in use (and even a few with phones that aren't supported by VZW network any more!).
Our monthly bill just dropped from $2750/month to $915/month.
Not sure why I'm telling everybody this, aside from having a brief moment of professional pride. And laughing at the stupidity of NOT having someone keeping track of things like that.
