Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
What is RubyShield Advisors?
RubyShield Advisors is an independent telecom and mobility consulting firm. We help businesses reduce wireless costs, optimize mobile plans, and simplify their connectivity decisions. As an approved partner of both T-Mobile and Verizon, we can also handle full carrier orders and activations directly on your behalf – giving you expert advice and hands-on execution under one roof.
How are we different from a carrier account manager?
A carrier account manager works for one company and is incentivized to sell that carrier’s products – regardless of whether it’s the right fit for your business. RubyShield Advisors starts from the opposite position: we analyze your needs first, then recommend the best solution. As approved partners of both T-Mobile and Verizon, we can execute carrier orders directly – but we only do so when it genuinely makes sense for your business. Our loyalty is to you, not a carrier’s quota.
Who do we typically help?
We primarily work with small to medium-sized businesses – typically 10 to 500 lines – that are frustrated with complex telecom bills, unsure if they’re on the right plans, or simply want expert guidance without the hassle of dealing directly with carriers. If you’re spending money on wireless every month and wondering if you’re getting the best deal, you’re exactly who we help.
What services do we offer?
- Wireless bill audits & cost optimization
- Mobility and connectivity planning
- Device recommendations and lifecycle management
- Carrier orders and activations via our T-Mobile and Verizon partnerships
- Ongoing monthly/quarterly advisory retainers
How much can I realistically save?
Many clients see 15-35% savings on their monthly wireless spend after a thorough review and optimization. The biggest wins typically come from identifying unused lines, outdated plans, and billing errors that carriers rarely flag on their own. Results vary based on your current setup – which is exactly why we start with a complimentary Discovery Call to give you a realistic picture before you commit to anything.
Do we require upfront payment?
We always start with a complimentary Discovery Call – no payment, no commitment. From there, we’ll recommend the engagement that fits your situation and provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins. One-time audits start at $99, and retainer support is billed monthly or quarterly based on your chosen tier. No surprises, no hidden fees.
What is our process for working with clients?
Our simple 5-step process:
- Complimentary Discovery Call
- Detailed bill & usage analysis
- Customized recommendations
- Implementation support – including carrier orders and activations where applicable
- Optional ongoing optimization
Do I have to switch carriers to work with us?
No. We work with your existing carriers to optimize your current plans and reduce costs. If switching makes sense – and sometimes it genuinely does – we’ll clearly explain why and guide you through the entire process, including activations through our T-Mobile and Verizon partnerships.
Can you handle device procurement and carrier activations directly?
Yes. As of June 2026, RubyShield Advisors is an approved subagent for both T-Mobile and Verizon, meaning we can now handle full carrier orders and activations directly on your behalf. Whether you need new lines, device upgrades, or a full account setup, we can execute it – not just advise on it.
Who will appear on my invoice for carrier services?
Carrier services are provisioned through our master agent partners – Mobilfy for T-Mobile and ConectUS for Verizon. You may see these names on carrier-related invoices or documentation. RubyShield Advisors will always be transparent about this upfront before any orders are placed.
How long does a typical bill audit take?
What if I’m already happy with my current carrier plans?
That’s perfectly fine – and honestly, we hear that a lot. We’ll still perform a no-obligation review, and many clients are surprised to discover hidden fees, unnecessary charges, or better plan structures even when they thought their accounts were “fine.” The worst case? You get confirmation that you’re already in good shape.
Do you require a long-term contract?
