Common
Real estate attached equipment such as wifi access points are never rented but instead sold at cost and charged a monitoring/maintenance fee.
Information Systems
- Maintenance is to maintain like new out of the box functionality.
- On site work is charged at $140/hr. Onsite labor is only covered for rented hardware items. If you need on premise desktop work, printer overhaul, a computer cleaned, etc. that will be at $140/hr.
- The customer pays for all software such as Microsoft 365 or desktop anti-virus at cost.
Telecom systems
- Full support and maintenance. Only an added charge if someone or something other that an Infotel employee abuses your equipment.
- USF fees are subject to VA communications tax. This is the only tax on tax. We charge a flat $1 per phone even though we may remit to the federal government.
- The quote you get will be your monthly bill with all government taxes included. We never charge “fake” taxes such as a business license recovery fee, paper invoice fee, energy surcharge fee, regulatory compliance admin fee.
- You pay your first month up front and then the billing starts when you are using our system.
- Systems have a one year term and then the agreement converts to a month-to-month agreement. We don’t sell auto-renewal agreements. Who can remember that!
- We have no porting fees inbound, outbound or changes.
Why do we rent phones?
- Due to chronic supply chain issues, we may need to install used equipment. Thus, it’s operation is covered.
- Renting saves you on personal property tax.
- It allows for revenue to us not subject to USF taxes which in June of 2022 was 33%.
