There has never been a better time to complete a phone services review than right now… Are you tired of your current supplier, or think you are paying over the odds for your current services?

Looking for a new business communication and internet provider? With the upcoming changes to available services and products in the UK. Whilst moving towards fibre internet connectivity and VoIP for all calls. Now is the time to make the move.

The first thing you need to check is that you are not already tied into any long-term contracts or notice periods with your existing suppliers. If you’re tied in for more than 6 months, we would recommend you reschedule to look at this when you are in a position to upgrade. , Products and pricing within our industry move fast. This will also ensure you don’t waste time looking at this aspect of your business now. When you can’t change anything without costly early termination costs from your current providers.

If you are still using an on-site telephone system, and especially if you have analogue or ISDN telephone lines, the time to act is now. The costs for your current type of lines are increasing year on year. There are plans to withdraw support for these types of phone lines in 2025. Please read through The Withdrawal of PSTN Lines in 2025 for more information.

Also, a newer cloud-type telephone system can provide many operational and cost benefits to your business. It can help your teams work smarter whether they are in or out of the office. When considering a “phone services review”, we can also consider current costs and services in place for internet, and your business mobile phone contracts at the same time.

Time to Review

In some cases, we can help you identify products you are paying for but no longer using. We provide free-of-charge consultations and initial feedback on how to reduce costs.

What is a internet and phone services review and how will it benefit my business?

We can help you conduct a detailed review of all your current phone and internet costs and services. Make sure you are not paying over the odds for your business communications. This means you can ensure that your existing services are not overpriced. Services are cancelled if no longer used. Ensuring you are up to date with the latest tech to help reduce costs and maximise your efficiency.

Telecoms has changed a lot over the years, what are my options?

Put simply your options nowadays are to ensure you have the most up-to-date products in place for your internet connections and phones. Then ask are you paying over the odds for these services and could there be savings?

New VoIP products are being introduced every few months in today’s fast-moving market. Cloud telephony has seen a massive amount of growth in uptake over recent years due to the lower costs and improved functionality it provides.

You could also benefit from reviewing what types of internet connection is now available to your location. The UK networks are moving towards fibre to the premises connections, which deliver much faster speeds at very competitive prices. Compared to traditional ADSL or fibre to the cabinet broadband.

Finally, the upcoming withdrawal of older types of phone lines known as PSTN and ISDN in 2025 is fast approaching. It’s a fantastic time to review the use of these types of lines within your business and decide when to cancel or upgrade.

How will I save me money with a phone system review?

We provide cost-service reviews of all your technologies and services. We question the use of every telephone line and supplementary service and have found that one of the most common mistakes in telecom expense management is paying for services you no longer use. Things such as inactive mobile phones or unused phone lines can often go unnoticed, sometimes for years, racking up unnecessary bills.

Reducing suppliers can reduce your outgoing costs for different services. If we are handling several services and systems for you, you will save money on the amount of time you spend managing different suppliers. You will also save on each service, by placing more business with fewer suppliers, by obtaining a lower buy price.

Looking at businesses’ bills who haven’t had it reviewed for over 12 months, we found that we can save them between 25% and 35% on their business lines and calls. If you have many different handsets and service providers, our mobile tariffs can offer large savings. Broadband is now much cheaper than it used to be, so we can save you money, particularly for private circuits or leased lines.

What areas of business telecoms do you cover?

We cover all aspects of your telecoms service including fixed-line rental, call charges, VOIP, and cloud phone services.

We also cover internet connections, broadband, LAN/WAN, and hosting services.

For mobiles, we can help you with mobile hardware, mobile data, business mobile contracts, and SIM-only deals.

We also offer network cabling, maintenance support contracts, and security.

What about the maintenance costs for my phone system?

To keep down the cost of your maintenance support contract, only cover your core systems. Excluding telephone handsets from the support contract, will reduce the cost. You can buy replacement handsets for most systems on next-day delivery. It is easy to identify a faulty phone without needing an engineer to visit your site.

We understand that every business has different needs and requirements, which is why we have bespoke options. You can tailor a maintenance solution to meet your requirements. We can provide you with the best maintenance service options to match your needs.

Why is a internet and phone services review important to my business?

Businesses often fail because of poor financial management or a lack of planning. You don’t want is to be missing out on deals that could improve your business profits by saving you money, because you hadn’t reviewed your services. By implementing internet and phone service reviews into your business plan, you can check what services are available and distinguish which options are best for your business.

After all, in business, the most important figure to bear in mind is your bottom line!

The technology sector is one of the most diverse and challenging industries in the world, due to the constant rate of change. That’s why it’s important to keep your costs under constant review and think about longer-term and more strategic planning.
