Shop for T1 Phone Lines and Cheap Phone Service

You may not need T-1 phone lines for your residential phone service, but businesses definitely have to shop for T1 phone lines and cheap phone service. Telecom companies sell T-1 digital communication lines with a 1.544 megabits per second bandwidth used to transmit digital communication both ways in private business networks, and both ways between these networks and their internet access service providers. T-1 is particularly necessary when there are multiple phone lines and computer networks. Since the bottom line for all businesses is to stay profitable, price should always be balanced with reliability. It is not the dial tone alone that matters.

To check a telecom company’s reliability, one of the first things you should check is whether or not it is state licensed. Next, you should check whether or not the telecom company is a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) with the Building Industry Consulting Service International, Inc. (BICSI). BICSI is the recognized association of telecommunications consultants in the Information Transport Systems (ITS) industry. Being certified as RCDD requires a company to comply with the highest levels of ethical and professional behavior according to the BICSI Code of Ethics and the BICSI RCDD Standards of Conduct. These standards cover both professional services and ITS products. It would not matter even if a company can offer cheap phone services if it is not state licensed and not certified by the BICSI.

A licensed and certified telecom company is, of course, expected to have the capability of installing, maintaining, repairing or moving the top brands of phone and voice mail systems, including special applications such as Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) and Call Accounting, among others. They should agree to cover even small set ups with only some phones and also have the capacity to cover even huge call centers with hundreds of phone extensions.

The telecom company you choose should also have expertise on designing and implementing Voice IP or VoIP technology solutions. It should specifically fit its recommended VoIP solution to the special needs of your company. You should choose the telecom company that has strong ties with various VoIP carriers and that can work for the lowest rates for your business.

VoIP technology is used in building IP connections between offices that are physically apart. It is also used to integrate phones and computers, to set up central management of phone calls in one site for several offices, and to implement the different call forwarding types. You should choose the telecom company that has strong ties with various VoIP carriers and that can work for the lowest rates for your business.

Make sure that the telecom company you are considering is able to install and maintain structured cabling and fiber optic cabling, as well as phone cabling and computer Ethernet cabling and jacks. You will need fiber optic cabling to set up connections between separate buildings. Fiber optic cabling is also used in place of copper cabling for long distances.
