How can RAM help us lower our telecom expenses?
Most business owners and CFO’s are shocked to discover the ‘win-win’ solution RAM Communications provides. Most of our clientele save 30%-40% using alternate phone and Internet companies. RAM Communications can also save money streamlining a business’ current service by eliminating outdated contracts and unused products. In fact, RAM’s customers pay the same rates provided directly by the phone company sales rep’s and, in many cases, pay even less. Contact Us!
Who do we call if we have a problem with our phone service or Internet access?
RAM can be reached day or night if there is a service interruption. We work with the service provider to solve our customers’ problems quickly without the usual headaches associated with phone company customer service.
Can we keep our current phone numbers?
Phone numbers are the property of the customer. Local Number Portability is guaranteed by the FCC.
Can we keep our current e-mail address?
This depends on where the customer purchased email addresses from. Some ISP’s like SBC will not let customers keep ISP-provided addresses. RAM Communications will, however, show businesses easy ways to create and control their own addresses regardless of their Internet Provider choice.
Will we still be listed in Directory Assistance?
Yes. RAM Communication submits a directory service form with every order to guarantee the customer’s preservation in Directory Assistance.
Will we experience any service interruptions if we switch providers?
No carrier or agent can guarantee an interruption-free service transition. Between a customer’s phone equipment vendor and the phone company, a transition plan has to be made. RAM Communications always leads this process for its customers. With careful planning, our customers experience minimal downtime from 15 minutes to 1 hour depending upon the complexity of the projects. RAM Communications always coordinates this process after a customer’s regular business hours.
