Even though they had a call bundle they would get a shock bill for calls not covered by their package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their current provider was not prepared to give them a better deal so they were speaking to other suppliers to see if they could save some money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always the first thing we did was ask for a copy of their recent bills, we were able to run their itemised bill through our own billing system to see how much they would spend if using SiPalto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this instance we built a custom call plan based on their call patterns which would save the company about 20% a month, equating to approx \u00a31,200.00 per year saving against the current provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were asked for a quote for new handsets, but before putting that together we checked if there was anything wrong with their current phones which were the above pictured Polycom VVX 101s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The customer didn&#8217;t realise they could re-use their current handsets if switching VoIP provider, we re-programmed all their existing handsets and updated them with all the latest security patches and software releases, saving the customer an additional \u00a32,000.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With VoIP becoming so established it&#8217;s now even easier to switch if you&#8217;re not completely satisfied with your current provider, and being able to re-use existing handsets means it can often be done with little to no disruption or change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is something you can relate to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/contact\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/contact\/\">get in touch<\/a> for any impartial help or advice, we are always happy to share our knowledge and experience to ensure you get the best outcome for your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were recently contacted by a company based in Marylebone, London, who advised their monthly bill with their current VoIP&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[18,17],"class_list":["post-161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tips-tricks","tag-polycom","tag-voip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177,"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161\/revisions\/177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sipalto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
