Business mobile cap plans – How can it help my business?
28 Sep 2009, 3:40 pmMost people have heard of a capped business mobile plan, they come in couple of main varieties dependant on the supplier you use:
- Single business cap plans.
- Shared business cap plans
Singled Business Caps
A singled business cap plan will give you a minimum monthly spend commitment of anywhere from $49.00 – $129 per month. The different plans give you different included call & data levels. As a general rule these plans suite businesses with less than 4 mobiles or there are often what are coined unlimited plans in the single business cap offering, they are not truly unlimited but you do get so many included calls that you would be hard pressed to go over your included call & data spend unless you were making non standard calls.
Shared Business Caps
A shared business cap give you the added advantage of putting multiple phones on the same plan this is very helpful to businesses who have various spends across their users. As a general rule this is the smartest choice for any business with 4 or more mobiles. These plans range anywhere form $99 – $1399. or higher in some cases.
How will they save my business money?
Business cap plans will save your business money in a few key areas:
- Peace of mind, never worry how much your bill will cost each month.
- Share your call spend across all your mobiles so small users
- You don’t have to sign up to a bigger plan than they required just to get a $0 handset.
- If you travel internationally, you can have your call spend comes out of your included minutes with only a Flagfall rate to be charged over and above your cap plan instead of the normal exorbitant rates many carriers charge when you roam on a different network.
- The flexibility to add or remove mobile numbers on the business shared caps.
- Save time which equates to money by been able to quickly manage your mobile fleet.
- Use online billing to monitor your fleets usage so you can curb non-business related spend on the company mobiles.
How do I choose a plan?
Dependant on what your mobile usage is & whether or not you have a fleet of phones or only a few you will need to select a plan that will give you ample included calls but don’t forget, many business phones these days also use data as well so be sure you get a plan that gives you a data plan bundled in to the cap or you will receive a nasty shock on your first bill.
The next thing to look at is what billing increments are been used by the carrier, I have always found the Vodafone offerings the best in Australia as they bill per second and they have recently expanded their network to cover a greater part of the country.
