Here
are a few tips for making sure you get the best deals
when shopping for wireless services for your company.
1.
Wireless services remain unregulated, so the buyer who
is the best at negotiation wins the best rates.
2.
Don't be afraid to ask for ALL the plans offered by a
wireless company. Many times they do not publicize every
plan that is available, especially the best deals. Promotions
are not always advertised either!
3.
Beware of pager protection and cellular insurance, especially
if you have a group of pagers/phones. For the cost of
the insurance you are paying per pager/phone in a group,
you can purchase a new one (or more than one!) each month.
4.
If you are paying for long distance and roaming charges
on your wireless services, call your provider today. Most
carriers offer plans with nationwide calling with NO long
distance or roaming charges applied.
5.
Keep in mind that wireless equipment is specific to each
provider. Phones are programmed to be used with one carrier
only. With this in mind, be sure that you include new
handset costs as an expense item when reviewing rates
and plans from alternate providers.
