Long Distance Phone Service Business

Business Long Distance Rates - Guaranteed Lowest Rate Program

Choosing long distance phone service for your business can seem confusing.  There are many options and plans available to you.  Here are some ways to make your decision easier. 

T1 for long distance is an option worth looking into.  A T1 is a type of digital line service that provides 24 channels that can be used for voice or data.  These flexible lines are used as needed and become freed up again when not in use.  This makes a T1 an economical choice for all businesses.  Larger companies and universities can get more bandwidth by using a T3, which is equivalent to 3 T1s.  OC3, OC12, OC48 and OC192 are also available providing even more T-1 service and bandwidth. 

When considering long distance phone service think about usage.  A small business may be able to use regular phone lines.  These are not practical for heavy Internet users or when more bandwidth is needed.  A T1 is a good solution for most small and medium sized businesses because it provides the bandwidth for most applications.

For long distance calling consider how many long distance calls are made monthly.  This can help determine the type of long distance calling plan that works best for you.  Also take into consideration the amount of users you have on your current system.  A T1 provides 24 channels for simultaneous conversations.  You can also get your T1 provisioned so that some channels are for voice and some for data.  A T1 can provide service to about 50 to 100 users based on average usage making it much more economical than using standard copper telephone lines (such as the one in your home). 

A T1 is a digital service that provides clear and reliable connections. A T1 is capable of transmitting data at a speed of 1.544million bits per second. This speed is faster than most standard connections and allows for transmission of large text files, graphics and sounds.
