Find the Best Telecommunications Provider for Your Business

This guide is provided by Independent Digital Networks who are providers of the UK's first impartial phone call savings comparison calculator for business users at www.idn.co.uk .

Since the deregulation of telecommunications, the business market has become complex and confusing not only in terms of the number of providers and tariff options, but the speed of technology changes. It is becoming increasingly difficult for companies to decide which is their best method of communication, or in fact which provider offers the most cost effective and resilient solution.

To find the best solution for your communications via landline and mobile phone, or for transmitting your data, the following factors should be considered:

Call profile analysis

To be able to accurately compare your existing costs to potential savings across the market, you need to analyse your existing call profile, and calculate the volume and value of calls, by call type i.e. for local, national, calls to mobiles and international calls.

Current call costs and hidden charges

You will then need to calculate individual call tariffs; for instance, what is your per minute call cost for a national call. Also look for any 'hidden' charges you may be unaware of, such as minimum or connection call charges for each dialled call. These can have a significant impact on your costs, particularly if you make a lot of short calls.

Tariff information on other providers

The time consuming element of the process is gathering information on other providers:

  • What are their tariffs?
  • Do they have minimum call charges?
  • Are these tariffs negotiable at your volumes?

  • What are their services and tariffs for non-geographic numbers (eg 0800, 0845, 0870)?

Resilience, support and customer service

As well as costs, it is important to consider whether an alternative network offers the resilience you need (often the number of 'switches' the carrier has on its network helps determine this), and whether the right level of technical and customer support is available. For instance, a new provider may have flexible billing formats to enable you to analyse your telecoms usage more easily in the future. Service Level Agreements can be obtained from most carriers. You also need to consider the length of your contractual commitment; for landline this is typically 30 days, for mobile and data this is mostly one year.

Regular reviews

Due to the pace of change in this market, you will need to repeat this audit every six months, to ensure that you are still using the most cost-effective network solution.

Mobile telephony

The audit processes for landline and mobile are similar, although you will also need to consider your equipment usage and future requirements, as well as any number porting issues. The geographical coverage needs of your users should also be considered, and the relative coverage strengt...
