12 Jan 2024 Get the most out of business mobiles with One Connectivity
Mobile phones have come a long way since the first handset hit the shelves back in 1973. Now, mobile phones offer the power of a mini computer as well as being a multi-layered communication device that fits neatly in your pocket, giving you instant, on-the-go connection.
But when it comes to choosing a business mobile plan, the choice can be overwhelming. From tariffs to contracts, handsets to networks, we help businesses find the best fit, at the best price.
What are the benefits of business mobile?
Perfect for remote teams
When you’re a remote or hybrid team, you need effective communication infrastructure to keep all your employees connected, and this is where business mobiles come in. They allow teams to connect from remote locations, using tools that encourage collaboration, which is a cornerstone of successful teams.
Increased productivity
They’re also a great way to promote productivity, as employees can access tools and software that allow them to be efficient and contactable, even when they’re offsite.
Business continuity
When employees can respond to messages and emails working away from the office, as well as appear to be calling onsite using a dedicated caller ID, you keep your customers happy and your business ticking over.
Flexibility
Providing business mobiles for your team offers them the opportunity to work flexibly, and this is a great way to show your brigade that you offer a flexible and relaxed work environment.
Things to consider when choosing business mobiles for your business
Tariff & network
A tariff will be a monthly payment that will include a set amount of data or minutes. You may want to consider varying tariffs for different department members, as their needs might differ. Each network will have a range of tariffs, as well useful bolt-ons and international calling charges, which is especially useful for employees travelling internationally.
Handsets
Handsets come in all shapes and sizes, that’s why it’s important to audit: the type of business activity your team will need to conduct on their phone, where they will be working from, and the apps they may need to use, as well as internet capability. You’ll also need to think about battery life for employees on the road, the budget you’re willing to invest, and whether the devices integrate with your other technology. For example, android vs. Apple.
Insurance
From policy limitations to excess charge, it’s worth thinking about whether phone insurance is right for you. Some packages will include this as standard, but for those that need to be considered separately, you’ll want to factor in overall cost on top of your handset and tariff.
Unified communications
Consider how you might want to integrate your business communication tools and software into your mobile devices, such as a cloud-based service for messaging or file sharing for optimising business processes.
