Questions and instructions

Literal question

If Yes to H25, What was the last monthly bill? $__________

Interviewer instructions

What is the monthly bill? If the household has a telephone ask for the average telephone bill (or most recent, if the household does not know the average bill). Include cellphone/calling card costs.

Complete this item for all occupied housing units.
1. Enter the cost of the last monthly bill. If the last bill is unknown, report the average monthly cost of the phone or cell phone.
2. If the respondent doesn't know the exact cost, an approximate figure will do. Ask additional questions as necessary to obtain a reasonable estimate (for example, "Is the cost greater than $50 or less than $50?", etc.). In some cases, it may be easier for you to compute the cost from information given by the respondent. If so, ask whether your estimate sounds reasonable before entering the amount.
