Big phone bill savings on offer for small businesses
Small businesses could be saving up to a third on their phone bills simply by switching their calls to a new supplier.
This is according to British Gas Communications which is now offering cheap calls to small businesses throughout the UK.
Head of British Gas phone business, Ian El-Mokadem, explained: “Every business in Britain can shop around for a better deal on phone call charges. But a quarter of the country’s smallest businesses – those with less than ten employees – don’t appear to realise.
“We are offering a third off BT Working Together call rates and further savings on calls to and from mobile phones, when they appear on the same bill, which can often make up a major part of a small businesses telephone bill.”
Mr El-Mokadem concluded by saying that with these kind of savings small businesses as a whole could be saving up to £600 million a year. (MB)
