Call Costs

How is it possible to save money on your calls?

In 1984 the government deregulated BT. This allowed for competition with names like Mercury, Cable and Wireless, Energis, Thus and Gamma all able to use the BT infrastructure and to supply the same calls at reduced prices. So in simple terms BT are offering a cash and carry wholesale department working on the logic that who buys the most pays the cheapest price. You the customer however small or large benefits from the reduced call prices without having to enter into long-term commitments and retro discounts.

The service is extremely simple. BT provides Global 4 with all your daily calling information. This data is then loaded onto the Global 4 billing platform, where it is made available for you to view at your discretion via the internet. We can also report any changes in call pattern or call abuse immediately via remote e-mail alerts, unlike your current set up where you have a paid bill for the month following and reams and reams of paper with you never having time to interrogate the detail.

Unlike us we are able to offer you a bill on the second day of the working month for VAT purposes and a full reporting on all types of calls made even in graphs if required. Downloadable into a spreadsheet format should you wish to use cost entries in your company management accounts or wish to review each call made.

The diagram below simply shows the information from your current BT bill taking into account local, national, mobile and any other destinations including the duration and cost that has allowed us to take the cost, divide it by the duration and this will allow you for the first time to see how much it has cost you per minute to make a phone call.

The challenge is that BT total your day, peak and off peak calls into one total. However with our billing platform they will be listed separately so the savings will be greater.
