BUSINESS PHONE SERVICES
WHAT DOES YOUR BUSINESS NEED?

When shopping for a business phone service, the best place to start is to assess what your business needs and how much you want to spend. Consider factors like long distance, features, business size, toll-free
numbers and cellular service.

Investigate bundled services if your business requires an internet connection. Don’t forget new technologies like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a phone service using broadband internet connectivity for dialing that can offer substantial savings.

For business phones that will handle many calls, a virtual phone assistant like the one offered by One Box at www.onebox.com may be for you. Using just one business number, their virtual assistant will route all your
incoming calls to the right person.

FINDING THE RIGHT PROVIDER

After your assessment, visit an online site like Buyer Zone at www.buyerzone.com to get free business service quotes from many providers. You can also visit www.resourcenation.com/business/voice-over-ip-phone-system to get providers and rates for VoIP technologies.

MAKING A DECISION

Once you identify possible business phone service providers, speak with service representatives to clarify what they provide. What is involved in installation? How long will it take for the service to be up and
running? Does the company provide updates and, if so, are they done remotely?

Does the provider offer free training? Who provides the training? What kind of technical support is available after the system is in place? What about system maintenance?

If you do some research before making a decision, you can chose a business phone service that not only works well for your business, but is affordable and will serve your needs for years to come.
