Features of servicing corporate clients

To begin with, let us highlight some features inherent in contracts concluded with a legal entity:

Possibility of different forms of payment: advance or credit payment method. You can choose any one during the conclusion of the contract or switch later by writing an application in any communication salon, sending an application through your personal account or sending by email. Most choose the credit payment method, since it allows you to talk within the provided credit limit, and pay for communication services next month within 20 days from the date of invoice . In this regard, questions arise: how to find out the limit provided, how to find out current expenses, where you can see unpaid bills. We will answer each of them later.
You can create one personal account for all company numbers. In this case, you save yourself from replenishing each number separately. If you pay in cash, then from a card, through an ATM or cash register, you can make a payment to any number, and the money will go to your general personal account. All users spend them together. There are also inconveniences - all it takes is one careless employee to connect an expensive service, call to another country, access the Internet while roaming, and the entire company will be left without a connection with a minus balance. An application to merge a personal account is written both during the execution of the contract and at any time. The application is sent through your personal account, by email, or brought in person to any Megafon communication salon. This raises the question: how will employees check the balance and whether they will be able to check it at all.
We already noted in the previous paragraph that a common personal account has a positive side - convenience in payment, but there is a danger that one subscriber will make a debt for the entire company. To avoid this, connect. Its essence is that one personal account is allocated for the entire contract of the company. The organization transfers all funds for communication fees to it. At the same time, a personal personal account is also assigned to each number. It is replenished from the general fund according to a given algorithm, that is, each employee receives a different amount of funds . The user can replenish it himself in any usual way. This service gives the employee the opportunity to connect additional services to the number and use mobile commerce, while the company controls communication costs and does not go beyond the budget. In this regard, questions arise: how to check the “Personal Budget”, what information will be available upon request *100#.

These are the main differences in corporate communications that relate to the balance sheet. Now you can move on to the main topic of the article and answer the questions posed above.
