Selecting a phone company based on price alone
Selecting a phone company based on price alone is like marrying someone based on looks alone. That may be the easiest way to judge things by on the surface, but if that’s your only criteria you’re going to be very unhappy at some point. The same can be said for a nice website too. And don’t fall for a fake review site like TollFreeReview.com either, because on the internet it’s easy to make multiple versions of fake companies and sites that look nice and credible on the surface, but again have no depth.
Would you select your car based just on price, or your cereal, or your house or even your soda? A low price is great, but the mistake many people make is thinking that price is the only factor to base their decision on for their phone service. You need to realize that the very cheapest company is the cheapest for a reason. It may mean they are adding additional fees somewhere, or they have less customer service or they may outsource the customer service overseas. They may be new and willing to do anything for a sale, or they may they may be having financial difficulty. Maybe they lower their feeds only to raise them later on. Some companies play with the instate rates or even change their definition of a minute and charge you for two minutes for each minute you’re connected to your customer.
Phone Company Feedback and Research
There’s no easy way to tell these things. But there are two things that can help. The first is real customer feedback and the second is the depth of a company. The depth of a phone company is hard to measure without a little research. That’s why we try to dig deeper with the companies in our providers section to show the depth. Honest reviews are also very tricky to do. That’s why we only accept reviews from customers that came through our service because that’s much harder to fake. To get a number from us you need to provide valid credit card information and we see the IP address and we spot check them over the phone, please we’ve done this a while so it’s harder to get fake reviews in.
The bottom line is that we try to do more research and try to make some helpful recommendations to get a good company but we are also the only company that guarantees you the option to change your mind and transfer it away too. So pick the best company but worry too much because your independent proof of ownership means that even after you transfer your number to them, you’ll never get stuck with a phone company that only looks good on paper.
