Prepaid phones help avert disaster

This is thanks to Warehouse86, which runs the Memphis site. their director of information technology, Joseph King, had his staff pick up pay-as-you-go phones in order to access office phone lines. And it was a smashing success.

“We didn’t lose a single voicemail message, and we literally lost no time between the tornado and business,” King said.

Apparently, they had these prepaid phones ported to their office phones, so when calls came in, the cell phones rang, too. This is just a simple illustration of how people can use prepaid phones in an innovative way to create a stronger customer guarantee. WIthout these phones, TeleSphere would have experienced a good deal of downtime, which wouldn’t have sat well with their customers, which reside in 44 states. Yeah, the tornado ran through Tennessee, but a business in, say, Oregon might be less understanding of the circumstances. [AZ Central]]]>
