When you are running a business it is necessary to take charge of your overheads otherwise they could start eating into your profits. If you need to make regular telephone calls to your customers, clients and suppliers at home and abroad then one of the main costs will be your telephone service. However, there are ways in which you can save money on your international calls by going online.
International Calls
You can cut the costs of international calls from the UK to the rest of the world (mobiles and landlines) by taking the time to shop around. Low cost services are widely available on the Internet and there is a number of companies offering discount international calls to many destinations all around the world. This could save your business hundreds of pounds every year.
It is easy to get discount international calls online, and you will still be able to use your existing telephone system. All you will need to do is use the specific access codes offered by the provider, and then dial the full international number after this to get connected. These access codes will be available from the website. You will not need to subscribe to most services in order to take advantage of the savings, and the discounted costs will appear on your phone bill as normal. This really is a quick and easy way to get cheap international calls and save on your business telephone bills.
Non-geographic Phone Numbers
You can also buy non-geographic phone numbers, and these are useful for businesses as they allow you to offer a range of contact choices for your customers. For example you could purchase 0800 or 0808 numbers, which allow your customers to call you free from a BT landline (mobile charges will vary across the different providers). You can also purchase 0845 numbers, which will allow customers to call you at a local rate regardless of where they are based around the country.
It is necessary to remember that if you use discount international call services from a mobile then there may be surcharges applied by your phone provider. This will depend on which network and price plan you are using, so it is best to check this first before you start making any international calls.
