Telecoms cost savings
Do you want cheaper telecoms for your business whilst also saving you and your staff time? As experienced independent telecommunications consultants, we can help you
“The level of your success is directly related to the level of your communication” is never truer than today. The success of any organisation is dependent on this vital component, whether it is via telephone, fax, email or the internet.
However, with new technologies and hundreds of suppliers from which to choose, you may feel more comfortable with an independent advisor to guide you through the jungle.
We normally achieve savings of between 10 and 20% for our clients.
The best ways to make to make considerable savings in telecom charges are to:
- switch to a more competitive tariff;
- switch to a more competitive supplier;
- reduce your volume of outbound traffic;
- generate income from incoming traffic;
- check that your bills are correct;
- switch to new technologies;
- reduce your telecom maintenance costs.
Business Cost Consultants can help you with all of these solutions.
As independent telecom consultants we will carry out a FREE audit of your existing telecom charges to identify how we can make savings and/or achieve possible refunds. That will include auditing the costs for your line rentals, your voice and your data traffic and your maintenance costs.
Then Business Cost Consultants report back to you with the options for reducing your existing costs.
Business Cost Consultants also give independent advice on disputes with telecom companies. Have an expert on your side. It will save you time and money.
Remember, we get paid out of the savings we make for our clients. No savings means no fees to be paid.

What we do
Fixed line telephony
Business Cost Consultants will carry out a detailed, independent analysis of your current costs and your call profile. Then we will identify the best carrier or carriers for you.
Savings of over 20% are possible using Least Cost Routing (LCR) and Carrier Pre-Selection (CPS). However, we will only recommend carriers who can provide a high standard of service.
Business Cost Consultants will also audit your telephone maintenance costs and the configuration of your telephone lines and extensions. We can check all your incoming telephone bills for you.
All of those services are designed to save you time and money. The nice part is that Business Cost Consultants are paid out of the savings we make for your organisation. Hence our expertise effectively costs you nothing.
Mobile phones
Following a completely independent appraisal of your current and future needs, we will recommend the most suitable packages, most appropriate networks and most appropriate airtime providers for your organisation.
By careful analysis of your data and producing a detailed tender document for large numbers of mobile phones, savings of over 30% are possible. The package may also include free hardware, from the supplier.
Thereafter, by carefully checking your mobile phone bills we can ensure that you actually receive the package initially promised by the best supplier. That is often where clients encounter difficulties because mobile phone bills tend to be unnecessarily complex. Business Cost Consultants have the expertise and software to check hundreds of pages of mobile phone bills.
Number translation services
We can greatly reduce costs for 0800, 0870, 0845 and 0900 numbers, keeping you in touch with your customers and suppliers more cost effectively. Business Cost Consultants can also maximise the revenue you receive from your incoming calls.
Call centres
Are you planning to build or expand your call centres ? Are you interested in autodiallers and the hardware and software needed for a successful call centre? We can provide you with independent advice.
Telephone system upgrade or replacement
As Business Cost Consultants are totally independent, we can design a system specifically for your current and future requirements.
Confused by the technical jargon, not sure about voice over internet protocol (VOIP), broadband bandwidths, structured cabling or new fax machines/scanners/copiers? We are on your side.
Our project management service will save you time and money. It will also remove the worry about introducing new technology to your organisation.

Internet services
Understanding internet services and what type of access method to choose can be daunting. How should you connect your sites together? How should you connect to the internet, by satellite, broadband, SDSL, leased line, or dial-up? Business Cost Consultants will unravel the mysteries for you and give you the best independent advice for your business.
Other services
Terms such as structured cabling (CAT5, CAT5e CAT6), data networks, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), analogue lines, ISDN2e, ISDN30, ADSL, SDSL, computer/telephony integration (CTI), satellite broadband services and video conferencing can be very confusing. Business Cost Consultants talk plain English, not jargon.
With our experience and knowledge in the telecoms industry we can give you independent advice and manage projects from start to finish, saving you time and money.
