In this 21st century you would think we were all born with cell phones in our hands. Do you know anyone under 20 that has a land line? Cell phones are not a convenience for them; cell phones are their only phones. When the realization sets in on how much we can’t function without them these days it’s staggering.
Small and medium companies love the flexibility given to employees by cell phones, but cost containment has become an issue. Large companies, according to a recent survey, say a quarter or more of all telephone expenditures are cell phone minutes. Do you know how much you spend on cell phones?
I found three popular suggestions for controlling cell phone minute costs. The first option is to have employees use their own cell phones for business use and track their work minutes then file expense reports. The second option is to provide company cell phones so you can negotiate the best contract based on total volume. The third option is to provide employees with the use of a new type calling card that’s rechargeable and utilizes the iBasis network, an extensive global voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) that uses proven advanced technology from industry leaders like Cisco Systems and the Internet, letting you create up to 999 sub accounts managed and funded from one administrative or master account and also gives you the ability to manage your account and sub accounts online. Helping your company or family to easily monitor phone usage and adjust your recharge settings so you never run out of so you never run out of minutes!
I favor the third option, for obvious reasons. First, do your employees make international calls on their cell phones? If so, how big of a headache do those bills cause you? You might want to review this new prepaid calling card that allows not only businesses but anyone to take advantage of managing their phone minutes. They do charge a minimal 98 cents USD per month account maintenance fee on the other hand you save money by avoiding extra charges and fees which helps to reduce long-distance costs to pennies. For example, there are no connection or disconnection fees, no first minute surcharges, no long talking fees or multiple minute rounding. Rates within the United States are as low as 1.8 cents USD per minute and will save you 70% or more on international long distance calls. In my opinion, this new technology has revolutionized the prepaid calling card industry to provide both families and businesses with the best rates available. And as far as I’m concerned we could all use a break from high rates.
