Is that just cost of the phone line, including outgoing calls? Or does it include the cost of answering the phone?
If it is just the cost of the phone line including calls, ask to see a very detailed account because you’ve been charged a lot. A basic mobile phone plan with unlimited phone calls can be had for $10-$15 per month.
The benefit of this is that if set out properly in the agreement is that the number can belong to the OC and be used by subsequent strata managers. This means that residents get the benefit of not having to change the contact number when the strata manger changes.
Nor do suppliers. And the bill can be sent directly to the OC so they can see who the strata manager is calling on their behalf.
