There’s a big problem undercutting Americans’ love affair with cellular phones: Soaring cellphone fees. Not only is the average American family’s cellular phone bill bloated, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, families are spending at least a cool grand each year. Small business owners often get a shock when those e-bills land in their inbox.
What’s the biggest hit a business will take: Overage fees. Why is this a growing issue? One simple word: Obfuscation. You’re not imagining it. The major cellphone carriers really don’t want you to have a user-friendly way to check your company’s cellphone usage. They make more money on overage fees when you’re bombarded with those lengthy phone bills.
Yes, it’s a sneaky strategy, but it pays off big-time for cellular companies. So how do you turn the tables to your advantage? You have to take control over those bills, but the big cellular-phone companies make it a bit challenging. But what if there was a third party that could help a business owner eliminate those overage charges?
We all know how Apple Computer’s astute use of a user-friendly interface upended the world of computing. Empowering the consumer is a growing trend, and while the major phone carriers have resisted that idea, third party providers are tapping a groundswell of consumer sentiment. That’s particularly true for business customers.
