Mirror, mirror on the wall, which cell phone manufacturer is the most popular of all? Samsung holds 26.2 percent of the world’s marketshare, with Apple and Nokia coming in at second and third place.
The price of smartphones is also falling, pulled down by cheaper models manufactured in China. The average world price of smart phones is $317, down 12 percent from the same quarter a year ago.
If only the average price of cellphone minute plans would realize a similar dip! It’s wishful thinking. The average small business owner has to go through a maddening onslaught of telephone menu selections just to talk to a cellular phone representative about options to control costs. If you run a growing business and have multiple cellphone accounts, you could get a terrifying case of sticker shock when those phone bills come due. But that’s not the worst of it.
The real fun begins when you call the phone company and are then taken on a tour through obfuscation land. And you innocently thought you could get a simple answer on how many minutes you’ve used … and … how much that’s going to cost you. Dream on!
Thankfully free enterprise lives on in the U.S.A. and one company, AccountBoss, has devised a clever solution for business managers to access accurate information on a company’s cellular phone accounts.
That means you don’t have to await your next company cellphone bill with trepidation. You can relax, knowing your cellular phone costs won’t include those overage charges. You’re the boss and you’re in control. Doesn’t that feel absolutely awesome! Let the phones ring!
