Business Services has developed a user-friendly administration portal to
create and delete user accounts, manage their profiles and allocate
phone numbers with a few clicks. Four preconfigured profiles are
available depending on users' needs. Companies are invoiced on a
pay-as-you-go basis (monthly fee per user and profile) and don't need to
