The 1900 number is an extremely powerful business tool; and indispensable because it is convenient, fast and extremely cost-effective for businesses. Basically, this free switchboard will still not charge the listener. However, there are still some related questions like calling the hotline, does it cost money and how much does it cost? Is the switchboard number really free or not? Let's find out with BECARE now but interesting information through the article below!

Is the 1900 switchboard really free or not? 

In the process of contacting work or in life, many times you will see advertising messages being sent everywhere with messages such as: "Contact the hotline 1900 XXXX is completely free". However, despite contacting, there are still many customers who respond that this switchboard still loses money and is not completely free as rumored. So what is the truth about this?

To know this clearly, we need to consider two factors:

First. This 1900 switchboard is not completely toll-free and this switchboard number is still the usual toll-free number. This means that when a customer makes a call to the switchboard with the number 1900, the calculation will be based on the tariff; with calls that cost money according to the regulations of the carrier that provides this hotline number and is not free..

Next, about the consulting fee, as mentioned above, when receiving consultation calls from businesses and certain units, this consultation is completely free; and listeners don't need to pay any fees when making phone calls from the switchboard. All questions will be answered by the consultant in the most detailed way. At this point, you don't need to worry about whether the call to the hotline will cost money or not; and whether there is a fee or not. 

Is the 1900 switchboard really free or not? How is the fee calculated? 

Through the information that has just been shared, it can be seen that 100% when customers call the 1900 phone switchboard will have to bear a certain fee. However, whether it costs more or less money depends on the unit used; as well as the number that the contacting business chooses. No call center is free and everything will have to be paid to a specific number. 

Calling to the telephone operator is not free and how is the charge calculated?

As mentioned, the charge when calling the switchboard is usually 1,000 VND / minute ~ 15,000 VND / minute; and the total fee will be calculated based on the installation of the service by the enterprise; and the number of minutes that we call. 

How to calculate the exact amount to spend on the phone operator 

  • Method 1: Refer to the price list just mentioned. 
  • Method 2: Through the company's number, customers can search based on the website; to which the company connects. 

 

When calling 1900 switchboard, in the first 10 seconds you will hear a charge message with common syntax such as: You are connecting to ABC customer care center, your call is charged 1,000 VND/minute”. This is considered the first way for callers to know if the switchboard they are calling is really free; and call to lose money or not?
