Stop Being A Slave To Your Phone!

Online, November 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Alltel Pty Ltd (www.alltel.com.au), a leading provider of telecommunications solutions to Australian business, today announced a special Christmas offer to assist in this traditional dilemma.

"We've all experienced this at some point: everyone's out celebrating at the office party and you're stuck in the office looking after the phone, either overwhelmed by the constant stream of calls or bored waiting for it to ring," said Jacqui Johnson, Alltel's Marketing Manager. "Alltel's live answering service is designed to give businesses the flexibility of diverting the calls to a live answering operator when they need it and making sure they never miss a phone call. But to get into the Christmas spirit, we're removing the usual restriction and fees allowing you to cancel any time if you book before December 16, 2011."

So now there's no reason why the whole company can't enjoy a special Christmas lunch together! The live answering service can also be activated for longer breaks so you can shut down for the holiday and enjoy the break you deserve. It's easier to relax knowing all your calls are being answered by an Australian-based operator who answers using your business name. You can skim through SMS and email messages and instantly respond to that lucrative deal, while enjoying time with the family or sipping a drink under the shade of a palm tree.

And if you're a larger business, consider giving your receptionist a break too! Do you really need to have someone seated at a desk paying penalty rates for the odd call that might come through when you can have Alltel do this for less than $1 a day? Just think of how much you can potentially save!

With Alltel's live answering service, Australian-based operators answer calls 24/7, including public holidays. The operators greet callers using your business name, and then take messages that are forwarded to you immediately via SMS, email and web portal.

Home, mobile and business numbers (including 1300 numbers and 1800 numbers) can all be forwarded to live answering. It is also possible to specify the times and conditions under which calls are answered (e.g. after hours, on weekends and public holidays, and when the number dialled is busy or not answering).

With plans starting from just $29 per month, it's an affordable Christmas present for you and your business. But you need to get in fast. The usual minimum contract term (and cancellation fee) is being waived ONLY until December 16, 2011.

You can find out more about this special offer by phoning Alltel on 1300 ALLTEL (1300 255 835) or by visiting the Alltel web site at www.alltel.com.au.
