Title: Managing Telephone Expenses
Post by: Terry Walker on December 14, 2016, 12:22:47 PM

Hi.  Sorry for the off topic question.  I just want to know how you manage telephone expenses in your office.  My aunt is asking for my help on how they could lower their telephone bills.  I really have no idea about it.  Anyone who could suggest how they manage it?  Thanks!

i don't manage telephone expense but i use this app to manage all of my general expanse:

Also there is excel which i have used for much more complicated expense calculation.

I hope that is not your actual student loan balance - 11k?!? Mine is down to 5k. I guess Sally Mae did a good job with me :)

Anyway, i found one after weeks of searching. It is with cassinfo for telecom expense management (https://www.cassinfo.com/Telecom-Expense-Management.aspx). I just don't see the concept behind paying for something to help you cut cost? Did you pay for the app that you are using to help you monitor your expenses? I guess if you are willing to pay for an app - it must be helping you with your budget and you are able to save, right? Is that the same concept with a telecom expense management software / app?

I personally use Money Manager: http://www.moneymanagerex.org/ Free and open source, cross platform: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android. Very useful and decent. I'm using it for last 2-3 years.

Look at the features, give it a try :)

I'm totally happy with excel. Once you have all your formula together, it's as best and customised as it can get.
It probably takes you up to 2 Months to get all the calculations going, but after that you have almost no work todo with that.

I automated the system almost completly. Fetching my Bills monthly, cross-referencing it with amazon, gmail, steam and several other services. Automatically assigning categories. Several income calculations and all the good stuff.

I highly recommend it.

cheers

I envy you for being good in Excel. I am totally bad with formulas.
