How To Look Beyond Pricing To Save On Wireless Costs

By Joseph B. Kappernick


The affects of this monopoly is being felt by all, since the four major carriers all have very similar plans and pricing. With the element of competition in today's' wireless market having been reduced to almost nothing, it is up to consumers and companies to work their negotiating skills to find expense costs to cut outside of their service plans.

When is comes to terms of pricing , consumers and companies must look elsewhere to help you get the most for your money. We have compiled a list of areas that can help you maximize the cost of your wireless plans:

1. Type of plan

In this growing market, business need change. It is important to monitor your companies usage to best gauge what your needs are. In doing so you can be an informed consumer when renewal time comes around. What worked best beforehand does not always work for the future.

2. Bill audits

You cannot rely on the carriers to review past bills to return monies owed to you. It is up to you, as the consumer, to review your bill and make sure that everything billed is correct.

3. Discounts

Since there is little price difference between carriers, does not mean you do not deserve a discount in proportion to the amount of business your contract brings. Ask for as many discounts as possible.

4. Credits and incentives

Many programs and credits and incentives. This is an added bonus to your company. Do not forget to negotiate for these. Also remember to claim the credits once they have been earned.

Accepting that for now we will remain in a non-competitive wireless market is the first step to turning the tables. Going forward with different leveraging tools at hand, it is possible to still control costs and gain better returns.
