If You Ever Wondered What Uses a T1 Line Might Have for Your Business, This May Give You Some Insight Into How One May Help Your Business.

Well by now many of you reading this may know what a T1 line is, but many may not know exactly what the uses are for a T1 or how it may be applied to their everyday business functions. Hopefully after reading this you will have gained some insight into how you can implement this technology into your business and boost your own productivity.

1. Domain Server Hosting – Some online businesses like to host their own domains and control their own security and features from their own servers. An Internet T1 becomes a prime choice for these type of companies with these requirements due to uptime reliability often associated with a reputable T1 service provider. Speed and capacity are great, but the reliability factor makes it the perfect choice for any domain being hosted in-house.

2. Private Data Transfer – Many businesses like to host their servers for their own private access data that is only shared between other branches. This type of data can be anything from real-time collaboration of files and video (video conferencing) as well as share that data with other connected servers for customer service such as customer credit card information or other personal details. This type of secure T1 connection would be considered a point-to-point.

3. Financial Transactions – Grocery stores, clothing stores, auto shops, and anything between can become a bustling grove of activity at any given moment. When you have many customers at once using their ATM cards and credit cards for purchases you need a reliable and fast pipeline to send the data to the merchant accounts. Keeping this flow allows your business to clear the way as soon as possible for the next customer to keep the purchase revenues running smoothly. This is a prime example of a T1 line displaying an ROI.

4. Outbound Call Centers – While often associated with the Internet, a voice T1 is a popular product  used for busy outbound call centers with the need for multiple phone lines running from the same physical location. One primary telecommunication expense with outbound call centers is the cost of long distance. The high costs of long distance can be slashed with high volume call centers. Another way voice can be used with a T1 line and save a business money is actually through the Internet when deploying VoIP/SIP technology.

5. Customer Service Centers – Business centers requiring immediate access to phone services and Internet or data centers for transactions commonly utilize integrated solutions such as integrated T1 lines. This allows for simultaneous traffic from both PBX and Ethernet switches so calls may be taken while operators also access information from their computers to assist customers.

How to Shop for the Best Business Long Distance Rates

Picking out a good business long distance plan for voice communications is an important aspect of your telecommunications strategy no matter which way you look at it. The larger your calling volume, the more every cent counts towards your bottom line for your everyday operations. With that said, calling rates can become very taxing on your business.  Whether you are switching your business long distance phone service or seeking an entire new technology to deploy your voice service needs, these tips will help your business save on it’s everyday calling expenses well into the future if payed attention to each time you change providers.

Watch Out for Minimums
Some business long distance service plans offer what is called a monthly minimum plan. While this can save you some money when meeting the requirements, not meeting the requirements can start to add up on your bill. Depending on the carrier, you can expect to see a monthly fee added to your bill if you do not meet the minimum monthly requirements. Worse yet, some providers may even charge your bill in full to the minimum requirement!
Check the Billing Increments
Billing increments are the one part of a business long distance plan that can add some weight to your bill. The most popular billing increments tend to be 30 and 60 second, however you will want to find the lowest increments possible to save your business in the long term so finding a 6 second billing increment is vital.

Intralata Rates

An advertised rate usually will be the Interlata (state-to-state) long distance billing. Many time the Intralata rates will be higher by up to 4 cents per minute. Make sure to check the Intralata rates before choosing your business long distance service provider.
International Long Distance
International calling rates are traditionally known as a high cost long distance expense in respect to business calls. If you frequently call a set of countries be sure to find out the rates, increments, connection fees, and monthly fees for international calling. Everything reviewed in the other tips should be applied to your international rates as well as the costs to call mobile phones overseas, which on average can be triple the normal international per minute rate.
Review the Fine Print
While per minute rates are appetizing for any penny pinching goals, additional fees can apply. Be sure to read the fine print and look for these fees or you may find yourself paying more for than what you had previously planned for … not good for a monthly telecom budget. This may include set up fees, monthly maintenance fees cancellation fees, and the following two above this tip.
Signing Contracts
While signing a contract by many is considered a no no, signing a contract is not always a bad thing. What is important is that you negotiate your contract. The more minutes you use a month, the more chance you have at getting an altered contract. Before signing make sure that the QoS (Quality of Service), the termination fees, and the rates are all understood or negotiated. If your provider for instance does not perform outstandingly in their provided services, make sure the contract states you can leave without paying a hefty fee. Just as important, make sure your per minute rates will be locked for the term of that contract.

Toll-Free Numbers Rates
If  you have a toll free number already then make sure you understand the rates that will be applied to your toll free services. Applicable rates would include payphone calls, billing increments, monthly maintenance fees, and of course the per minute rate. Knowing these costs will help keep away any surprises in your long distance bill. Do not sign the responsible organization form until you have have informed yourself of the costs.
