Are You Getting RIPPED OFF!

If phone calls are an important part of your business,
you should know you are likely paying more than you should.
Here are some common tricks phone companies use to inflate your charges:
None of these are illegal; but they are not often disclosed unless you read all of the fine print.

Minimum Call Duration

Watch Out for 6 sec, even 30 sec minimum billing time.

Rounding Up Cost to Nearest penny

The cost of your call is $0.01012, and you are billed $0.02

Rounding Up Time to nearest 6, 12, 30 seconds

Your call lasts 7 seconds; you are billed for 12 seconds

Cost Averaging

There are 50,000 rates centers in the US alone. If your phone company is charging you a flat rate for US calls, you are likely paying more than the actual rate on most calls.

Passing On Fees and Taxes

All phone companies have costs (taxes, fees, various expenses). But some pass those costs on to you directly as an add on to your bill.

Penalty Charges

If you read the fine print on your agreement, you may well find such things as short duration penalties, non-conforming call penalties, incomplete call charges. Make sure you are not triggering these penalties
