Long Distance Call

Long Distance Call are arranged when project teammates are
located in various remote locations. These locations may be as
near to one another as across the street, or across town. More
often, though, colleagues are located across the state, or
across the country. However, there can be substantial
differences in rates between toll and toll-free Long Distance
Call. How do you choose which Long Distance Call is
appropriate for your needs?
For the sake of argument, let's say the toll Long Distance
Call costs four cents per minute, and the toll-free Long
Distance Call costs 12 cents per minute. If all the
participants are based locally, and the number given for
attendees is also local, then of course it makes sense to opt
for the toll Long Distance Call charges of four cents a
minute. No additional charges for the Long Distance Call would
be incurred, beyond those for basic local phone service.
But if any one of the people involved in the Long Distance
Call is located out of town, complications arise. The question
becomes, then, do you want to pay the Long Distance Call
company for the long distance charges, or do you wish to pay
your long distance provider a later date? Either way, your
company will be charged for the Long Distance Call charges.
It's just a question of when it has to be paid, and whether
you pay one bill or two.
For colleagues employed by the same company, users may opt for
the toll Long Distance Call. Out of town attendees can then
pay their long-distance provider for that Long Distance Call
at a later date, and then submit those expenses to accounting
for reimbursement. However, if the Long Distance Call involves
clients, then it's considered bad manners to ask them to pay
for any portion of a Long Distance Call. In this latter case,
the toll-free option is considered proper protocol. |
