Least Cost Routing - LCR / Carrier Pre Selection CPS

Least cost routing is a method of reducing you company's telecommunication costs, whether you are calling to a mobile, abroad or just anywhere in the UK. Saving you up to 60%

LCR has come about since the government passed the bill to de-regulate the national telephone system. This ended the BT monopoly, enabling other carriers to offer cheaper phone calls.

More and more companies are looking to other providers in order to route calls more cost-effectively. The providers are categorised into different levels. The top level (tier 1) providers are companies such as BT and Telia. At Westlake we assure you that our routing is exclusively offered via tier 1 providers only. This ensures that your call quality is not affected as with some of the lower tier providers.

Cost management is increasingly becoming one of the key factors to commercial success, and as a result, few businesses can afford to ignore the opportunity of LCR in making their telecommunications more cost effective.

Changing to LCR is a straightforward procedure without the need to change your existing telephone number or line.

We can reduce your cost of calling mobile phones even more with the use of a Fixed Cellular Terminal (premicell) device. This is a mobile device that connects to your telephone system and allows you to make calls to mobile phones using a SIM card on a mobile phone network. Mobile - Mobile calls can cost as little as 2.55 pence per minute (O2) - please call for additional information.

If your company spends more than £200 per month on phone calls - then we can provide additional discounted rates - please call us to discuss your requirements - 0800 298 8011
