Improving bill payments in British Telecom

British Telecom received almost a million enquiries a year from customers about their phone bills. After they revised their bills in clear, simple language, used a better design and included easy-to-understand calculations:

  • customer complaints and enquiries dropped by 25%
  • people paid more promptly, improving cash flow and reducing the cost of collecting overdue bills.
