Walsall charity Breathing Space, which helps local people into
self-employment, has teamed up with Walsall business phone systems
company Cloud Net, to provide a service which will allow local
start up and small businesses to make telephone calls within
Walsall for free.
As part of the initiative, Walsall-based start-up companies and
small businesses will get a free handset, free installation, free
calls to other Cloud Net users and free calls to Walsall numbers.
From the second month of use, a monthly charge of £8.50
covers a full internet switchboard, which includes voicemail to
email, call divert and call recording. Cloud Net users just pay for
calls outside the Walsall area.
Breathing Space, established in 1989 aims to help people into
business and work, particularly those who are disadvantaged, by
encouraging them to succeed. The charity's provision includes
training and one-to-one support in business skills, job search
skills, reading and writing skills for business, coaching and
mentoring for business and personal development. Most of its
services are free to people who register with them.
Glennys Davis, General Manager of Breathing Space, commented,
"Small business set up costs can be quite daunting and we hope that
our clients and indeed other Walsall small businesses will take up
Cloud Net's offer. We believe that the provision of free calls in
Walsall will help to ensure that more businesses use their local
suppliers."
Any calls outside the Walsall area cost 0.9p per minute to
landlines and 9.0p per minute* to mobiles and also benefit from low
cost international calls. All Cloud Net calls are rounded to the
nearest second rather than the nearest minute making the call as
low cost as possible.
"We're pleased to partner with Breathing Space to offer its
clients invaluable access to low cost communications and free calls
to other Walsall numbers. We believe that it will be a
welcome boost to local businesses networking and regeneration plans
for the area," concluded Cloud Net's Chairman David Hill.
