How to shop for a Telephone

In North America the telephone industry has been one of the most mature and stable industries for investors, manufacturers and purchasers.

A land line along with telephone equipment can be purchased, rented or packaged with a contract time period.

Consumers are required to pay an installation or activation fee to begin using the local telephone service. Usually a monthly fee is charged for unlimited calling to telephone numbers within a local calling area. In Canada and the USA local monthly access rates vary from about $10 to 25 dollars. The networks of telephone service providers are connected together so that all local calls are seamless when calling within local networks.

Local telephone service competition provides consumers with a choice of features, services and prices that can be designed for specific needs. Local telephone services include: 9-1-1 emergency service, message relay service for the hearing impaired, billing information for the visually impaired, access to local networks by long distance companies.

Optional local telephone services include such items as call display, call waiting, call forwarding, no answer or busy call transfers, call blocking, conference calling, voice mail, and access to 800/900 phone lines.

Consumers have to ask about the prices for each feature or service. What one-time initial service or activation fees are charged, what regular monthly service charges occur and what are the cancellation fees or special fees to add or cancel telephone features.

In Canada the big local telephone service providers are Bell and Telus with many smaller local phone companies providing competitive services. The big companies have service depots where consumers can activate numbers at the store, purchase or rent their phone equipment and pay their monthly telephone bill.

Consumers have to qualify based on credit for local telephone service. Sometimes a large deposit is required to activate a telephone number with a local telephone service provider.

There are independant Internet Phone service providers that are separate from the big local phone companies and cable companies. These services allow you to take your internet phone with you when you travel. If you want to save money there is new technology that converts your cell phone into an internet phone.
