Controlling telecommunication expenses creates stress for most businesses. Since the Telecommunication Act of 1996 was passed, many different types of telephone services became available. These choices make it very difficult for companies to determine what programs provide the most cost-effective rates.

Telecommunication service companies make significant mistakes on customers' bills in computation errors and basic line charges. They are not mandated to monitor bills for errors, offer better service or rate options. UCS will monitor all of these areas for you!

Industry Overview
  • Local and long distance telecommunication companies make errors on bills such as computation errors and basic line charges. They are not mandated to monitor bills for errors or better service
  • The break-up of the Bell System in 1984 and the Telecommunication Act of 1996 resulted in new and different telephone services. This made it difficult for companies to determine what programs provide the most cost-effective rates.
  • Currently only a few long distance companies offer competitive rates for toll calls within a company’s area code.
  • There are a variety of data communication options available to reduce expenses by combined data and voice networks.
  • Telecommunication expenses are controlled by managing three key cost components: local service, local usage and long distance service.
