Ofcom update: Cheaper charges for UK consumers to end phone contracts

Posted by TTNC on June 28th, 2010

Charges that consumers face for leaving their landline phone contracts early will be cut by as much as 85 per cent, Ofcom announced.

Over the past 18 months, Ofcom has been working with the three biggest UK landline providers, BT, TalkTalk and Virgin Media, to ensure that the charges they levy when customers end their contracts early (“early termination charges”), reflect the costs that the providers save by no longer providing the service. Cheaper early termination charges will also apply to landline customers who receive broadband in the same package.

Introducing our latest service – Outbound Call Recording

Posted by TTNC on June 12th, 2010

We’re really pleased to release for our customers our latest service – Outbound Call Recording.

This service gives you a facility for monitoring your businesses important outbound calls, to protect your staff, to identify opportunities for development and ensure your customers are receiving the service you’d expect.

MONTHLY SERVICE – £9.95 per month

It works from any UK landline or mobile handset and costs nothing to set up. There’s no lengthy contract to sign up for either. For each month you want to use it you’ll pay £9.95 + VAT.

How it works

To use this service, you go through just a few simple steps. There’s no software/hardware to buy and install and no need to find storage space for tapes or discs of recordings.

Once you order it, we give you a dedicated Geographic number (starting 01 or 02). Each time you want to record one of your outbound calls:

Dial your dedicated number
Enter your PIN code
Dial the number you want to call
After this it’s just like you’ve dialled your customer directly; with the exception that within seconds of finishing the call you can listen to and download the recording from the Novero Platform.

Paying for calls

The cost of calls is managed through our Pay As You Go system (much like our inbound call charges). We deduct the call charges from the credit on your account as you make your calls. We’ll only deduct the cost for however many seconds you’re on a call.

To call a UK landline will cost 4p per minute*
To call a UK mobile will cost 14p per minute*
*These rates include a call recording surcharge. Costs will vary for other call destinations.
