Number Portability Features
What this means for existing Fax lines:
If you currently have a dedicated fax number that you rarely use and paying for a full line rental,
plus the power and consumable costs,
Link.A.Number is ideal for you. You will currently be
paying on average $50-$60 per month.
TNZ Group can port your fax number for you reducing the cost to $10 per month, plus transaction
costs. So in most situations you will lower your costs and obtain the following benefits:
- Receive your faxes as a PDF file attached to an e-mail
- Be able to also view your faxes using an Internet Browser
- Flag certain faxes as spam so that you do not receive them
- Never busy fax, receive 100's of faxes at the same time
What about my existing fax machine:
The most common option is to connect your fax machine to an extension or to the primary phone
line and turn off the auto answer mode. This way you can still send paper based faxes using the
main line. Note the TNZ Group fax sending service will send any electronic faxes.
What this means for existing Customer link lines:
If you currently have a custom link line, this is where callers call a number and it links to an alternate
number. The costs for this averages around $20 per month plus any local, national or mobile call
charges depending on where you link the number to.
TNZ Group can port this Custom Link number for you reducing the cost to $10 per month, plus
transaction costs. So in most situations you will lower your costs and obtain the following benefits:
- Be able to change where the number links to based on the time of day and day of week
- Implement stepping, so that if the number dialed is busy or there is no answer, try another number
- If unable to get the call through take voice mail
- Implement a call menus to advise the caller of options to press X for various departments or employees.
What this means when you move locations:
If you move locations within the same exchange, in most cases you can keep the same numbers.
However if you move outside that area, or nationally or even internationally keeping the advertised
numbers becomes a problem. TNZ Group can port your main advertised numbers, so that they can
still be used as before and link them as required (fax / voice). This saves you the costs of having to
re-advertise your numbers and the cost of reproducing letterheads, brochures etc.
The numbers now become a part of the "
Link.A.Number" family so you get all the benefits and
additional options that "
Link.A.Number" offer.
