You may have seen in the news that mobile termination rates are set to be slashed following action from Ofcom. This is the amount charged by the network for connecting a call which currently stands at over 4p.

By 2015 this fee will be reduced below 1p (to 0.69p) meaning that calls to mobiles from landlines will be getting a lot cheaper. In the meantime the fee will gradually be reduced year by year.

Whilst the initial reaction from many commentators was to believe this would benefit consumers, it is likely that the networks will find other ways to recoup their losses from this rate reduction.

The real winners will be those that use their landline phones to call mobiles. At the moment businesses pay anything between 7p - 15p per minute to do this. A large proportion of this is the termination fee. As this fee drops so should the cost of calling a mobile from your landline.

Competition within the telecoms sector is fierce so packages reflecting the reductions should be available shortly. We are currently working on a new range of business landline tariffs including some all-inclusive deals which will give customers a better choice.

This may include an amount of free calls to mobiles alongside a bundle of minutes for local and national calls and even broadband. Full details will be unveiled shortly.

In the meantime if your business is looking for ways in which to reduce expenditure you should consider a telecoms review. By simply sending us a copy of your bills (by email or fax) and we will analyze them and provide you with a report detailing cost savings.

Alternatively, if you have other problems, such as your current telecoms systems creaking under the weight of your business expansion or existing suppliers not giving you the service you need please contact us to discuss your requirements. We can tailor a bespoke solution for your business regardless of size or complexity.

We offer a number of other services in addition to our core business mobile phones. We have now expanded our site to take into account two new pages:

• Business Landline and Fixed Line Telephony
• VoIP Phone Systems and services

Business Landlines

Has your business reviewed its fixed line telephony recently? Did you know you could be making savings of 40% on your call charges?

We offer all business users a free review of their business landline costs. All we need is a copy of your latest bill which ensures we are basing our savings on your actual usage.

We analyze all of your call spend broken down between local calls, national calls, international, calls to mobiles, premium rate etc. We apply our best rates to each call and show you what your bill could have been had you been with us.

As well as savings on call charges we can also provide line rental cheaper than many other suppliers as well as call management, phone numbers and telephone systems.

VoIP Phone Systems

Has your business looked into the benefits of an internet based telephony solution? IP phone systems offer flexibility and features way beyond the average analogue phone system.

With VoIP phone systems becoming more popular and prevalent the prices are also coming down. Now many small businesses can take advantage of the latest technology without breaking the bank.

Hosted solutions are available too, meaning that you don't need servers and expensive hardware on site. Nor do you have the maintenance and update issues when you run a cloud based system.

There are also VoIP systems with integrated sim card readers for free calls to mobiles - a great source of cost reductions these days with so many mobile calls being made by most businesses.

These are just a couple of the extra business telecoms services we offer. We can also help with employee management (vehicle and device tracking), broadband and mobile broadband, plus a range of website services.
