If you work from home, one way to save on telephone expenses is to install a residential line. The charge for a business line is higher than a residential line. Just be careful in answering the phone with your business name, particularly with the phone representative on the other line as they can change your account from residential to business line, and charge you for more. In addition, if you live by yourself, you may want to skip the expense of adding a separate line (unless of course if you are an Internet business where you need one line to connect to the Internet and another to receive your calls). Shop around for the best prices for phone service in your area. Carefully determine if you really need all the bells and whistles available in certain phone equipment today. Do you really need voice mail or will an answering machine suffice? Do you really need those extra functions such as call waiting?

You can also save a lot if you utilize toll-free calling whenever possible. Make sure that you have the toll-free 800 numbers of your vendors and suppliers. To check the availability of the toll-free number, you can dial (800) 555-1212 for the "800" operator, who will have listings for all carriers. It is not recommended to buy an expensive "800 directory" from one of the long distance carriers. You can also use the Internet to search 800 numbers. If you know the URL of the company or business that you would like to call, go to their Web site and get the toll-free numbers often listed in their Contact Us page.
