User equipment costs (replacement telephones etc) Up front capital paid by you

Cabling

When you request a new telephone line, your cost centre will initially be charged the capital cost of:

  • any new telephone extension cabling/socket (voice or data) outlets/trunking fitted
  • any new exchange equipment activated
  • any new/reconditioned telephone handset supplied

Depending on the circumstances, your cost centre may not be required to meet all of these costs if for example:

  • An existing, currently unused, extension outlet is being re-activated (connection/move fee only)
  • An existing extension line is being deactivated/ceased
  • An existing telephone handset (already held by you) is to be re-used  

Thereafter, your cost centre will be debited monthly for the cost of any chargeable telephone calls you make.
