Business long distance services continue to add applications to their plans that are designed to make the workday a little bit easier. They can help remote offices communicate more freely with home base, and they can enable employees to handle much of their business while on the road. Some enhanced business long distance services are pretty basic and are necessities for most companies, while others can be tailored to fit your particular needs.
Toll Free #s: Toll free phone numbers allow “long distance” customers to call your offices for free. Consumers and clients have come to expect toll free numbers from companies, so anyone who deals with customers who aren’t local should have them. Your long distance carrier can set up a toll free number quickly, and once it’s in place, incoming toll free calls will be routed to one of your existing phone numbers.
Secretarial Services: Business long distance service features such as “Follow Me” make it possible for a caller to find you even if you’re traveling across the country. The service routes calls to a set of established phone numbers. If you still can’t be reached, the caller can leave you a voicemail or page you. The “Electronic Secretary” business long distance service provides the same capabilities as “Follow Me,” but it offers outbound calling abilities such as Outlook-generated phone books that operate on voice command.
900 #s: Get your mind out of the gutter. 900 numbers weren't just created for late night calls that probably shouldn’t be made. They are designed to charge callers per-minute fees, which makes them perfect for software support services, professional reference services, friendly telephone psychics, and much more.
All right, you’ve considered the types of business long distance services and features that are available. The next step is to consider which provider will work best for you. While people are always eager to focus in on the big names, there are many other companies to consider before making your final decision.
