Business phone plans for 10 to 50 lines
Most businesses with ten or more phones are on a plan somebody picked years ago, often a rate built for five lines. We price your lines on T-Mobile for Business and AT&T Business at the same time and put both on one page. Sometimes the answer is to stay where you are, and we will tell you that too.
Published rates, per line
Carrier published pricing at the line counts shown, checked on the carriers' own plan pages on 11 October 2026. Taxes and fees are extra. Per-line rates change with line count, so we quote your exact number.
What changes at 10 lines and up
At this size the plan mix matters more than the headline rate. An office manager on Wi-Fi and a site supervisor who hotspots a laptop all day should not be on the same plan, and paying for the top tier across every line is the most common overspend we see.
From about 20 lines the price itself can move. Each carrier will quote against your real volume and term once the account is registered with its pricing desk. If you run more than one location, add the lines together first. Three shops with eight lines each is a 24-line account. How line count changes the price.
What it costs to use us
Nothing. The carrier bills you at carrier pricing, the same as if you went direct. The carrier pays us. What you get on top is one person who compares both networks, moves your numbers, sets up the phones and picks up when something goes wrong.
How switching works
You keep your phone numbers. From first call to fully switched is usually about three weeks. Moving your numbers takes a few days once they are released. We do the porting, activation and setup so nobody on your team loses a day. The full timeline.
We work with businesses across the northwest Chicago suburbs and nationwide. Schaumburg, Barrington, Palatine and nearby.
Questions from businesses this size
There is no single answer, because it depends on how much data each person uses and where they work. Office staff who sit on Wi-Fi all day rarely need more than an entry plan such as T-Mobile CoreMobile or AT&T Business Standard. Field staff, sales and anyone who hotspots a laptop usually belong on a higher tier. Most accounts of this size end up with a mix, and we price that mix on both carriers.
Under about 20 lines the published rate card is normally what you pay, and the work is picking the right plans. From roughly 20 lines the account can be registered with each carrier's pricing desk and quoted against your real volume and term. That registration does not happen by itself.
Yes. Your numbers move with you. Porting takes a few days once your current carrier releases them, and the whole switch usually takes about three weeks from first call to done.
No. The carrier bills you at carrier pricing and the carrier pays us. You get one person who prices both networks, runs the switch and answers when something goes wrong.
Working it out
Plain answers to the questions we get asked most, with the pricing next to them.
T-Mobile or AT&T?
Where each one actually wins, the pricing on six lines, and the catch in AT&T's advertised rate.

Under 20 lines you pay the rate card. From 20 to 99 the carriers will quote you — but only if someone registers the account.
Read it →Independent advice, or straight to the carrier?
It costs the same either way. What changes is whether anyone is looking at the whole picture for you.

Three different jobs it can do, what each costs, and why backup and coverage are not the same problem.

Fiber from one, 5G failover from the other — and when one bill with satellite behind it is the simpler answer.

About three weeks. Why the phones are never the hold-up, and how to avoid waiting on a fiber build.
