How is ACI different from other telecommunication consulting services?

Alternative Communications Inc. is an independent agent representing many top rated local, long distance, data and equipment providers. We have the experience and relationships to help you get the best telecommunications program for your business. We provide one point of contact in managing the telecommunications for your business.

I have a staff that can handle this. Why should I call ACI?

With our continual research, experience and industry contacts, we can save you more money than if your staff contacts telecommunication providers themselves. With today’s technology, there are many ways to configure telecommunication programs to increase speed, efficiency and decrease cost. It is no longer as simple as calling and getting the cheapest rate because the rate quoted may not be for the best overall telecommunications program for your business.  Not only do we save you money on your monthly bills, your staff is freed up to handle your other business needs.
