What are you doing with your communications; at work or at home?

What am I trying to do with my communications; at work or at home?

On an ongoing basis, typically monthly, your communications costs are likely to be in the top three if not the top charge. Think about it, you have a home phone, a mobile or two or three in the house (if not more), an internet connection (ADSL or cable), maybe even cable television. That all adds up pretty quickly to a recurring few hundred dollars a month for a typical household.

That’s a fair amount of services just for one house!

What about when you are running a business? For businesses the costs can be from a few hundreds to many tens of thousands of dollars, which is significant, no matter what currency you use. The collection of services used in a business will vary of course to the household in both type and quantity of services. For example, multiple lines for the office staff into a PABX (PBX), data services for internet, email, inter-office communication, mobiles for your mobile field, sales and executive staff. (more…)

Save Communications Costs

Two things are certain in the telecommunications industry:

• change happens every day
• call charges change almost as often

Have you ever asked yourself am I paying too much? How do I know? or said I wish I could wave the magic wand and get the best deal for me out there.

In answering this there are 7 important considerations:

1. What am I trying to do with my communications; at work or at home?
2. Should I get rid of my landline?
3. What’s the best plan for me?
4. What handset should I get?
5. Am I paying too much for what I am getting?
6. What will it cost to change my provider?
7. Are there any other services that make more sense for me?

Let’s look at each of these in turn over the coming weeks and months.

Feel free to ask questions at anytime.
