Customers ask us, How can I reduce my business telephone bill? Like all experts in their field, we have insider knowledge and the know how of the telecoms industry which enables us to help businesses like yours.
In telecommunications, there are many pitfalls and we can help businesses and organisations avoid them.
We analyse many telephone bills and there are many ways in which telephone suppliers can maximise their profits and these are not always obvious to the un-trained eye when scanning your telephone bill.
Telephone Suppliers
You may be asking, How can I cut my call costs or reduce my phone call charges easily and quickly? Well, possibly the quickest way is to speak to your telephone supplier and ask them for reduced call charge rates. It is very likely that they will agree to reduce your call tariffs. You would not believe what suppliers get away with sometimes charging customers call charges of 20 pence for UK calls!
BT Bills
If you happen to be looking at a BT phone bill, you will probably be confused!! If you ask BT for improved rates, they can be quite inflexible and may only be interested in making you agree to sign long-term telephone contracts for calls and line rental. This is how their sales people are targeted and it is not in your best interests in most cases! Also, BT's marketing is very clever. They tempt you with great sounding things like 'capped calls' where you never pay more than 10 pence for a call. Whilst this sounds excellent, the reality is that the average call lasts under 2 minutes anyway and you will pay much more for shorter calls due to their set-up fees! Buyer beware!!
At the very least you should have a phone bill review anually. Alternatively, here is a list of ways you can reduce phone bills and call charges.
Improve Business Phone Call Tariffs and Call Charges
Have a close look at your phone bill. If you are a small UK Business spending less than £ 500 per month, you should definitely be paying no more than the following:
- UK calls (local and national) – 1.5 pence per minute
- Calls to UK Mobile phones (excluding the 3 network) – 9 pence per minute
- Calls to Western Europe (most countries) – 3-4 pence per minute
- Calls to the US – 3 pence per minute
If you are spending more than £ 500 per month it should be easy to get even better call charges and rates!
Where are you Spending your Money?
How do you know who within your business is costing what? Can you get extension billing from your provider so you can see which person within your business is costing you the most money?
Telephone extension billing is normally free but not many carriers offer it - we do!
Save Money on Calls to Mobiles
Typically, 50-80% of your calls will be to UK mobiles. Have you looked at ways in which you can reduce these costs using FCT Mobile gateways or Premicells?
We recently reduced the telephone bill (the land line to mobile element) of a recruitment company from £ 10,000 per annum to £ 6,000 per annum. After a furthe 18 months, this then reduced further to approx £ 4,000 - it is possible - you just to know what you are doing.
At the very least ensure you have negotiated excellent call charges to mobiles (for example less than 10 pence per minute).
Mobile Phone Packages
Mobiles? When was the last time you reviewed your mobile package and your landline package together? If you do them separately, you are not looking at the whole picture!!
VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol
Are you tempted by VoIP because it is cheaper? Do you know what it is, really, and more importantly how it could help your business? Beware here as you really need to take good advice. The claims that you can save 30% on line rental, for example by using SIP, should be heavily scrutinised if you are to maintain quality!! Some people think that installing VoIP will mean you have no call charges! This is not the case! Speak to us.
Telephone Review
Does your telecommunications provider, agent or dealer regularly review all of this for you? Have they ever been to your premises? Have you ever met them? Most telephone providers will wait until you are threatening to leave until they offer you better rates!
Lastly, don’t get swayed by ridiculous claims like We can save you 40% on your bills . Such a claim cannot be made by anyone until a thorough review has taken place in the detail mentioned above. And beware if someone says they are working in conjunction with BT!! They are more than likely not!
