Town of Syracuse to save $2545 annually with U4
SYRACUSE, Indiana—June 3rd, 2005—The town of Syracuse decided this past week to switch over local and long distance telephone communication services to U4. The estimated annual savings from local service alone will be approximately $2,000.00 Long distance savings, depending on usage, will be approximately $545 annually. All departments will be making the switch to U4. There will be no downtime or missed calls as the service is switched over to U4.
Many customers still pay a monthly lease fee on telephone equipment that may be 10 or 20 years old because some carriers bill customers with open-ended leases. When customers switch to U4, those open-ended leases are eliminated from the customers' accounts, saving customers even more monthly. This will save the town of Syracuse a significant amount of money. "It made sense for us not only to save money but also to support a local business," stated Town Manager, Jeff Noffsigner.
The town's phone bill will be consolidated into one bill for convenient payment processing. A major benefit to the town having all the accounts and locations on one bill is that the account can be itemized by department. It will no longer be necessary to go through the phone bill line by line, which was very inefficient. Councilman Brian Woody approved switching services to U4. "My business switched to U4 in 2003 and we have saved close to a thousand dollars since then. I believe when it comes to budgeting for next year it will make a difference. Getting one bill for local and long distance will be a huge time savings as well." "Any time we can save our customers this much money we end our day feeling like we have accomplished something big!" stated Director of Sales, Steve Slabaugh.
