The Hidden Cost of Your Company Phone System

If you are paying $300 a month on your business phone system, I can cut your bill down to below$150.

If you are paying $400, I can cut your bill down to below $200.

In most cases, I can bring you more than 50% savings. How could I do that? That’s because you are paying a lot of hidden costs for your company phone system.

Let me give you an example. If you have 10 computers in your company, do you pay 10 Internet connection fees or do you pay 1 connection fee? Of course you pay 1. You set up a router so that all your computers connect to the router. The router then connects to the Internet. When you add more computers, you just increase the bandwidth.

If you have 10 employees with 10 extensions, you are probably paying $30 per extension, so your monthly bill is around $300. If you think this is right, think again.

Let me ask you a question. Are you paying 10 Internet connections for 10 computers? Of course no. Then why should you pay 10 telephone lines for 10 extensions? That’s probably a question you’ve never asked yourself. This is where the hidden cost lies.

Most companies will make you pay one line cost for each and every extension. If you have 10 extensions, you pay 10 line cost. However not all 10 phones are making outbound calls or receiving inbound calls at the same time. Typically only 30% – 40% of the extensions are being used at the same time. We will install a call server at your location that enables all 10 extensions to dynamically share 4 lines. This deployment allows you to cut your cost down by more than 50%.

OK, that sounds terrific! Then how much is the cost of a call server? You can rent the call server for $15 a month or buy it for $150 one-time fee. How big is a call server? Is it a giant machine? No, a call server is smaller than a PC. It is a small device that brokers between all your phones and the actual outside carrier so that all your extensions can dynamically share fewer lines. Just like your Internet router allows all your computers to share a single Internet connection.

Here is the math:

  • If you currently have 10 extensions and are paying $30 per extension, you are paying $300 a month.
  • With our deployment, you will pay $17.95 per line. Let’s say you expect 5 employees to be on the call with outside callers at any time. You will only need 5 lines. Your monthly cost will be 17.95 x 5 + 15 (call server rental) = $105.
  • Your new monthly cost is 1/3 of what you are paying to your current provider.
