Billing analysis

At S&S, we recognise the need for businesses to keep costs at a minimum, communication costs can be expensive which is why we have created a billing analysis tool to analyse all your communication bills.

  • Landline
  • Line rental
  • Outbound calls
  • Mobile
  • Broadband
  • Maintenance

When analyzing the bills, we are able to identify the areas with the largest expense, what numbers are dialled most frequently, and what times of the day your phones are most busy. From this we can identify whether it is cost-effective to change provider, increase/ decrease the number of lines you have or even re-program your telephones.

If you are interested in trying to reduce your communication costs, please call us on 028 302 67108.

Micro and Nano SIMs are smaller versions of the regular SIM cards. The micro-SIM is a smaller type of SIM that was first used in the iPhone 4 and the Nano SIM is around 40% smaller. Most smartphones will use either of these instead of the traditional SIM.

If you have recently purchased a phone which requires a Micro or Nano SIM a SIM card cutter can be used which cuts the regular SIM to the size required. A SIM adapter can also be used if you need to put a smaller SIM into a phone which requires a larger SIM.

VOIP is an acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol, or in more common terms phone service over the Internet.
If you have a reasonable quality Internet connection you can get phone service delivered through your Internet connection instead of from your local phone company.

Call your current provider and ask for a PAC code.

  • They must give you one (or tell you why they can't) within two working days.
  • It's free once you've paid any outstanding bills and disconnection fees.
  • You must get a PAC code before you disconnect your old phone. If you disconnect without getting a PAC, you won't be able to keep your old number.
  • You can normally increase your tariff at any time, but lowering it will depend on when your contract started, and how long you've been on your current tariff. You may be required to pay off the remainder of your current contract (what you agreed to pay each month, multiplied by how long you have left on it), before you can begin a new one.
  • If you change your tariff it will take effect from the date your monthly allowance is allocated.
