Today’s post is all about one of the biggest costs for many businesses regardless of the size. All business use their phone for calling clients after all it can well be the lifeline for reaching out to prospective clients and present clients. I need not spout benefits at you, however as great a communication tool as it is the cost of ringing some service providers and or utility companies indeed possibly suppliers can end up costing you a fortune.

Now I know that some businesses have tied themselves into business packages, which reduce some of the cost of calls, but even these most of the time do not cover the dreaded 0844,0845, 0870 and 0871. These calls are non-geographical numbers that are essentially tied to a standard landline number 01,02,03. Now the secret of how to save money is out and The Internet Business Coach is sharing it with you.

Recently you may have noticed a drive from BT to make 0845 numbers free for people, what you do not know is the reason for this. Well over recent years more and more people are complaining about having to call these numbers and the cost of them especially when it was discovered that many of the larger companies were using the money they made from you ringing these numbers to help finance the cost of call centres and such, even smaller companies using these 08 numbers could offset costs using it. Not too long ago a The Guardian newspaper and BBC Radio 2 featured a company who basically said that they would help consumers and businesses to save money on these calls.

Now a lot of people did hear about this site but millions of others did not, so i am going to share this money saving information with you because it must be shared. The idea of this site is to allow you to either enter the companies name or the 0844, 0845, 0870 or 0871 number given for a company and get a standard line number you can ring as an alternative.

On seeing the site I was sceptical that it could work but trust me The Internet Business Coach have been using it for over a month and it has been amazing, I am yet to come across a dead number although it does happen as some companies once they know the word is out will change the number, however this is a minor inconvenience as the saving you can make both on your business and home telephone bill is major.

The site also features a sharing area where if you know a standard number for a company that you can enter the details for it to share with everyone else, this whole site works on the cooperation of all users adding to the database and lets face it sharing is your way of giving back, like how i am sharing this information with you now.

At this point you need to know who it is but before I tell you this let me just mention to you that although this site is amazing, has a forum to answer any questions you may have unfortunately sometimes the site is just plain unavailable. Now i do not know if this is due to the high volume usage of the site or the huge database in any case if you find it is not going on one day it is well worth it to you to keep trying on alternate days till it is back up – it does come back up eventually.

Just Say No To 0870

Just Say No To 0870

Ok drum roll – the site is called ‘Just Say No To 0870‘ use it. My suggestion is to compile a list of people you regularly ring go to the site and look them all up and put the standard landline numbers next to them. Now go save money on your home and business bills :-)
