Vodafone boosts business telecoms package for SMEs

25/10/2011

Vodafone has stated that it can give business telecoms users a boost with its most flexible phone package.

The company added that the new offering brings together price plans for sole traders and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) into one flexible set of tariffs for organisations.

According to Vodafone, this will make it easier for firms to work effectively and budget themselves more efficiently.

The business telecoms provider added that alongside competitive bundles for minutes, texts and data per user, all Vodafone Business clients will get 2GB of BT Openzone UK Wi-Fi a month.

Furthermore, the company has stated that users can add-on its innovative One Net Express service from £10 a month, which gives clients a virtual landline number that goes directly through to their mobiles.

This extra feature gives small businesses 3,000 landline minutes, free call forwarding and a voicemail service, with no installation necessary.

"Small businesses are the lifeblood of the country and for these customers our sole focus is to help them thrive and grow. Every day, our small business customers tell us they must be armed with the right tools so they can run their business from wherever they are," said Tim Stone, small business sales director of Vodafone UK.

"That's why we've combined our existing tariffs with our innovative One Net Express service into one, simple, value-for-money plan. Vodafone Business allows customers to adapt the plan as their needs change," he added.

Meanwhile, Orange recently stated that it will provide SMEs with 1GB of data for £1 per month when they sign up to a Business Solo 30 plan.

The business telecoms supplier stated that the deal will give small firms a tariff, which includes unlimited Wi-Fi, 900 minutes, 250 texts and next day replacement for faulty phones.

Martin Lyne, SME marketing manager at Orange, said: "We know that our business customers need tools that help them run their businesses even when they're away from the office."

He added that "a tailor made plan with business essentials" will mean firms do not have to worry about unexpected bills and will allow them to work more efficiently.
