T1 Long Distance Services
Having a long distance T-1 voice line can give your company huge cost savings, particularly if your monthly long distance call spend is over $500.
There are fixed monthly costs for T-1 lines meaning your current costs must reach a certain threshold to make you investment worthwhile. Your costs will also depend on your location and your proximity to your local T-1 long distance provider.
The closer you are to your provider means there will be less distance between your location and the network connection point, providing lower connection prices.
Shopping around will show you there are many providers of T-1 long distance services, each one with slightly different terms and offers.
What To Look For When Selecting a T-1 Long Distance Service
Phone services will differ greatly and you should check at least the following when comparing services, or even better, get an agent that is familiar with all the offerings to do it for you, based on a recent bill :
connection costs
billing increments
are your calls generally to one location, or a mixture of long distance areas?
contractual commitments
type of T-1 line
does it cope with both your current and future requirements?
A T-1 long distance line allows you to have more control over your telecoms costs and could also be split between voice and data transmissions. Selecting a T11 line will also give you the additional benefits of a digital service such as faster connection times, and added value features such as three way calling, call forwarding and more.
As well as your current usage you should also remember to plan for future growth and make sure your T-1 long distance network will cope.
