for money, everyday. When choosing a plan that is right for your business, Best
Deal Business Phone will assess:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Call rates |
|
|
Often there are patterns in business’ call peak call usage times that you can identify
and save money. For example, if you clear and respond to the voicemail at 9am each
morning then you could negotiate a cheaper rate during that time period that will
save on your overall bill.

SMS Rates |
|
|
Nowadays, some businesses are opting to communicate with their staff via sms. Many
mobile phone plans offer free txt options or sms charges included in capped value
in cap plans.
|
|
|
For example, some capped plans offer $300 worth of value for $49 dollars a month.
If a standard sms is 25 cents, then you can send 1200 text a month for $49. This
works out to be a very cost efficient 4 cents per sms.

|
|
Email/Internet/Data |
|
|
Having the option of using your mobile phone to check or send emails, or browse
the Internet can be a very productive prospect. However, you need to ensure your
plan allows for adequate speed and data limits to avoid a hefty data bill each month.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Aggregated billing |
|
|
For larger businesses, some providers offer an aggregated billing service whereby
all mobile phones on the account can make free or capped intra-account calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Free call or discounted call
|
|
|
Some providers also offer free or discounted calls to nominated numbers. If you
tend to call one number more than any other number, free calls to that number would
dramatically reduce your overall bill.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Handset offered |
|
|
Choosing the right handset for each mobile user is essential. If an employee intends
to use additional features such as email and WAP then you must choose a handset
that has these capabilities. If, however, the mobile will simply be used to make
phone calls there is no point paying for more features that you won’t use.
