"Long Distance -  Busines Phone Rates"

Business Long Distance  - Guaranteed Lowest Rate Program

When trying to choose a company for your long distance calling needs, trying to get to the basics of what each company's long distance business phone rates entail can be a chore.

Unwary customers can find themselves paying a lot more for their long distance business service than they were first led to believe. Surprise, "hidden" charges take the form of fees and taxes. Long distance phone rates may also vary between times of the day, or days of the week.

Without investigating, and having advance knowledge of how a long distance calling plan works, the fees and charges can add up quickly to astronomical charges.

Before deciding between long distance phone companies for your business, the first step to take is to evaluate your long distance usage.

1. How many minutes per month do you use on an average?
2. What times of the day or week do you make most of your long distance calls?
3. To where are your long distance calls made? Are they National? International? In state? Out of State?

By asking yourself, and answering, all of these questions, you can get a clearer picture of the type of long distance calling plan that will best suit your needs.

Then comes the time to research calling plans. Many people will shy away from seemingly great long distance phone rates because there is a monthly access fee involved. But is it necessary to shy away from this kind of calling plan?

From the questions above, you should have the numbers right in front of you. Do the math. Maybe you are missing out on a great opportunity to save yourself some money. How many minutes do you use per month? 10,000? 20000? Let's take a look at 10,000 minutes per month.

If you multiply that times a $.04 per minute charge, it is $400.00. 10,000 minutes per month times a $.03 per minute charge is $300.000. Even if you add in a $2.00 to $4.00 per month access charge, you are still coming out ahead.

When you bring the choice of a calling plan back down to the basics of your needs as the customer, you can make the best possible decision for yourself. Evaluating the long distance business phone rates against your long distance calling usage, and asking up front questions regarding fees and taxes, all lead to an informed and satisfactory relationship.
