How to select a business mobile package

Increasingly businesses are using their business mobile phones and PDAs for a combination of voice, text, and international calls, email and data usage apart from the contemporary usage. The business mobile services providers are competing for their business and offer many different packages tailored to meet the individual needs of different types of organization and can enhance productivity, with a range of special offers, introductory deals and ever more sophisticated devices to draw you in.

Most business mobile packages include a number of inclusive minutes depending on what you pay. Business mobile packages usually allow you to split the inclusive minutes between all mobile users and carry minutes over into the next month. Business mobile packages can easily be changed if inclusive minutes are excessive or insufficient.

If very few calls are made, or you only use your business mobile to receive calls, it may be more cost-effective to opt for pre-payment, or “pay as you go”. Call charges are more expensive than contract phones and there are no inclusive minutes. This is not normally advertised as a business service.

Most business mobile packages which come with businesses mobiles have either a fixed rate all day, or a mixture of peak and off-peak rates. Most businesses make the majority of calls between 9am and 5pm. Therefore the best options are to select the business mobile package with the cheapest peak rates or a low fixed rate. If most calls are made outside conventional office hours, as in the case of shift workers, consider business mobile packages with the lowest off-peak rates or large bundles of off-peak minutes.
