Advantages: cheap for International calls, can use mobiles, good customer service, Disadvantages: don't use then for local calls use BT instead
I have been using TelcoGlobal Communications for nearly 2 years now. They like most 'secondary service providers' have pros and cons. A primary service provider would be BT or Cable & Wireless who actually provide you with the line and infrastructure. Telco buy large blocks of time from BT for obviously highly discounted prices and are therefore able to charge their own prices for local and national calls.
This though is not where they make their profits from, or is the incentive for new customers to sign up. Calling internationally from either your landline or mobile is and can be a very expensive activity, this is the hook that draws new customers. Why pay 20, 40, or even 60p to phone different countries when Telco charge below 10p for most destinations. Telco uses lines from their American parent company Viatel. These lines are ...
Advantages: Very cheep calls Disadvantages: none yet
British Telecom is a complete rip off. Thats why i was really glad when a friend of mine introduced Telco to me.
Telco is a telecommunication company which is run by a massive company called Viatel, which is a major european based network of firms.
The calls are nearly half of what BT charge and it works by dialing their swithboard and they find the cheepest route to go, even if that route is BT's. Weekend calls are around 1p a minute and peak rate about 3p. If you think dialing there number would be a pain before each call you can aquire a little box that will dial the number for you, which is what i got, It makes things very easy.
Telco do not advertise and rely on getting customers by word of mouth and Local Agents who sign you up.
This company is working well for me at the moment, but if they dont keep there calls cheeper than ...
Advantages: Cheap calls Disadvantages: I can find no disadvantages with this company.
My wife and I have now been customers of Telco for the last 3 years or so and up until the last week or so, we have had no problems whatsoever. More about that later in this opinion!
For those of you that know my usual style of writing, you may find that this opinion is in a slightly different format to usual. (I simply wish to keep this one to the point.)
Within a few days of signing up for Telco, we received a new phone socket box, which simply plugs into a standard BT phone line socket. This simply avoids the user having to dial an access number as the 'box' automatically adds the correct prefix to the number dialled.
It's simply then a case of chatting away as usual and not having to worry about extortionate telephone bills.
Line rental is still paid via BT (or your usual provider) and all call charges are via Telco. Their ...
