Disadvantages
- Access Codes. Unless your new service
provider provides you with a new direct phone line
(normally only provided for users with a very high
volume of calls) you will need to access a new network
by dialing an access code before each call. Normally
the service provider will you with a "dialler"
that connects to each wall socket you have and will
do this automatically for you.
- Another Phone Bill. Your new service
provider will bill you separately for call charges.
You still have to pay for rental of the lines themselves
to BT on a separate bill. Some phone companies offer
pre-pay accounts, where callers use a credit card
to pay for charges. This is not recommended for the
office environment. Of course, this creates more work
for the business, but this can be overcome by using
Direct Debit or pre-paid accounts.
- Quality Of Service. The transmission
quality of the larger networks is comparable to that
of BT. Smaller networks and resellers, particularly
those tariffs are dramatically lower than the larger
networks, may suffer in quality. This can be a real
problem, as BT tends to offer a very high level of
service, and losing this can be a real blow to businesses.
