Released last week John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile, wants to get the message out that companies and individuals are paying unnecessary mobile data overages. Big question from us should be … Why do we OVERPAY? Bottom line in most cases, is because nobody has the time or resources to stop this where it starts …. with the carriers. It’s a fight, but more importantly it’s your money to get back!

John Legere is promising that if his petition can reach 250,000 signatures, he’ll send the carriers a “message that they won’t miss.” Legere mentions skywriting a nasty message above AT&T’s headquarters. Legere revives his call from last year for other cell phone carriers to end overage charges. Legere says, according to T-Mobile’s calculations, that other carriers in 2014 collected about $1.5 billion in overage charges.

Ever given any thought to how much your business is paying for data overage charges? Do you think it’s a few dollars? Maybe hundreds? What about thousands? At Limitless Technology ~ Cost Reduction Specialists – WE KNOW. It’s our job to know and get it back!

The most important question for CEO’s and CFO’s then becomes, how do I manage my mobile data in the office?  Technology is designed to enable companies to manage the time it takes to get information back into the field, document issues in the field, locate employees, and stay in contact with anyone, at any time. For every business owner these questions exist: How do I control the data that is being used? How much data is being used or abused?  ASK YOURSELF: Is your business struggling to manage mobile data? Are your employees constantly going over their data allowance for that month? Are you at a loss for how to control it? How much is this costing us? Are there other areas of your telecom spends that may also have these unnecessary spends and cost recovery needs?

Overage charges concerning mobile data is not a matter to be taken lightly, nor is it an inexpensive mistake one can afford. Knowing where they come from and how to monitor them is essentially the soundest way to safeguard your company against expensive overage costs. And if you don’t take action, more likely than not, your company will continue to lose money. Cell phone companies make a lot of money from overage fees. That’s YOUR MONEY.

US Based Executives ‘question business value’ of tech spend.

Recently I was exposed to a survey taken by multiple senior finance executives regarding their opinions and facts surrounding the cost of IT and communications. Overall the “gist” of the information gathered clearly shows technology is needed,  but do not believe they are getting the types of info they need, and the spend or “burn rate” was grossly negligent to the ROI.

Below are some of the highlights or the articles finer points.

After reading…what are you opinions or thoughts on high communication spend rates or the mismanagement of technology costs in business?

• Senior finance executives say their companies are weak at converting business spend to technology value.

• Almost none of those surveyed (3%) rate their companies as “excellent”, according to a new survey of more than 150 senior finance executives by CFO Research in collaboration with consultants AlixPartners.

• The survey also finds that more than two-thirds of financial executives (66%) give their companies a “C” or “D” grade when it comes to measuring financial returns from discretionary IT projects, such as big data ones, designed to improve or add to a company’s business and profits. Only 5% gave their companies an “A”.

• Meanwhile, at the other end of the IT spectrum, the survey reveals that “keep-it-running” IT costs – non-discretionary support and maintenance systems – are cannibalizing funds available for business-improving IT.

• A plurality of respondents (49%) estimates that, over the past two years, their company has maintained approximately a 70-30 ratio of keep-it-running to improve-the-business IT spending, and of that amount, a solid majority – 63% – believes that their company’s spending is weighted too heavily toward keep-it-running IT services, and that a greater share should be directed to improve-the-business IT projects.

• The survey goes on to show that, despite massive IT investments in recent years, companies are not getting enough of the kind of information they need to successfully run and grow their businesses.

• “The message from CFOs and other senior finance executives is loud and clear – companies are spending too much on IT, and they’re not getting the business information that they truly need,” said Meade Monger, managing director at AlixPartners and co-lead of the firm’s Information Management Services unit.

CRAMMING IS ILLEGAL – and reprimand-able with full recovery of false charges in some cases.

“Cramming”: Is when monthly charges pop up on your telephone bill for services that you never approved such as voice mail, paging, or club membership, it’s called “cramming.”  This seems to happen on all services but far more often on cellular billings, landline, long distance and 800 number services too!

Here one way it happens…You or someone in your Company may be asked to return a missed call because it’s ‘Your lucky day’ and you or they’ve won a trip to some exotic location. When you/they make the the call, an automated system is activated and you are unknowingly enrolled in a club or program, and the charge then appears later on the phone bill.

The “cramming company” or “individual”  may not need to do anything except take or  pick one of your phone numbers out randomly and place false charges on your bill through your local telephone company, claiming that you/they agreed to buy  these “mystery” services.

Bottom line is…Look at your bill closely every month. Charges for optional services should be itemized and state the name of the company providing the unknown service, how it is described and its phone number. If you or someone in your Company did not order or approve the services, call that number and insist that the services are canceled and the charges removed from your bill.

Also,  putting a third party block on your phone service accounts could save you a lot of angst. It’s often free and it does not let any third party add charges to your phone bills. Should you be unsure of how to do these processes and requests, give us a call and we can help. (866) 504 4050.

However, there is a group out there that has a head phone obsession. They pay hundreds of dollars for the ear phones the have the perfect sound and comfort. Neither of these groups are what I want to focus one, I want to focus on the group that doesn’t want to spends hundreds on ear phones but also want something a little more comfortable than a small piece of plastic shoved in their ear.

For that group of people, Grado iGrado-Behind-the-Neck Stereo Headphones is the good that will satisfy your wants. Grados go around the ear instead of inside it and are cushioned for comfort.

Instead of having the cords laying in front of you, like the iPhone, and wrapping around bags, clothes, and even door handles and ripping them out of your ears (yes, that has happened to me) Grados wrap around your neck and have one non dangling cord.

They also produce a high-quality natural sound that allows you to hear the sharpest of sounds in music and the clearest language for audio business books.

The best part is that they only cost $50 retail! So, spend a little bit more money and, I promise, your ears will thank you.
