And The Best Value
Toll Free Virtual PBX
Plans Are... |
|
When looking for the
cheapest per minute
rate, you also have to
look at the monthly
service fee and any
included minutes
provided by each plan.
I've crunched the
numbers for you and I
was surprised by the
results.
The key to picking the
best plan is to know
how many minutes you
will use monthly.
If your not sure, take
your best guess.
Purchasing a toll free
plan that provides
minutes as part of the
monthly fee ONLY makes
sense if you are going
to use those minutes!
-
These are the best
plans by rate
-
All are acceptable
1st choices - pick a
plan that provides
the features you
need.
-
All of the plans
listed below charge
for
1 leg only!
-
The calculation used
to determine
effective monthly
plan rate for plans
that include minutes
in there monthly fee
is:

 RingCentral
is one of my favorites, so much so that
they are my personal choice of carriers
for
CollegeHelpers.com.
They offer a ton of features at a
reasonable prince with downloadable
utilities that make their product
top-notch!

Business Plus is the
best deal if you
will use the 500
toll-free minutes.
-
RingCentral Features
are fantastic!

You can lower your
costs significantly
if you pay for a
year's worth of
service upfront.

 Wow!!
Take a look at their prices! Okay,
granted their additional minute charge
is a bit steep at 10¢
a minute for the Executive plans, but if
you're going to use the time you should
seriously consider onebox as an option.
If you only need one extension/mailbox
then seriously consider their $29.95
executive plan which gives you a
whopping 2000 minutes. Make sure
you read the details about onebox
because the piece that makes their plans
even better is that they ONLY CHARGE
YOUR FOR YOUR ACTUAL TALK TIME!!!!!
Unlike all other plans, onebox will only
charge you for the time people are
actually talking to you. Minutes
are not charged while people are on
hold, being transferred, leaving you a
message or while you're checking your
messages.

 TollFreeMax
plans are solid, offering useful
features and included minutes at
reasonable prices. TollFreeMax
seemed to offer fewer features in
comparison to their competitors so we
called their sales department and found
out that they did offer more of the
standard features than they list on
their website: Call Transfers, Schedule
Enabled, group voice messaging, Number
Transfer, True 800 are all part of their
features.
