Do you want to save money on your telephone call charges?
Of course the Answer is YES and you can do this using
Least Cost routing.
What is least cost routing?
Least Cost Routing (LCR) is available nation-wide, to
ensure that virtually any UK buisness/residential line can tap
into the Global Market place. So obtaining a cheaper tariff for
all types of calls. Including Local, Regional/National and International
Calls and Mobiles without compromising service or quality. The
best analogy is the British Gas at Home scenario. The same gas
down the same pipe, but it costs less if billed by a different
company.
