Filed under: business, corporate, gadgets and gizmos, mobile phone, mobile plans
Telstra Business has today launched Telstra’s first unlimited 1 mobile plan as part of its Business Mobile PLUS offer and I thought it worth sharing details with you.
- The $180 per month plan includes all standard voice calls, video calls, MMS and SMS to any Australian mobile or fixed number plus unlimited MessageBank™ diversion and retrieval.
- The plan is available for a 12 or 24 month minimum term. 2
- Customers with their own handset will pay $150 per month on a 24 month plan. 3
- Customers with Smartphones also have the choice of a BlackBerry® or Microsoft® email solution or 2.5GB of data for web-based email and internet browsing.
Yasmin Dugan is the Executive Director leading the new plan in Telstra Business and says the new plan gives small businesses cost predictability and greater choice to get the most value from their mobile phones.
“This is the first time Telstra has offered an unlimited mobile plan to our business customers,” Yasmin said. “In addition, customers who switch to Telstra from another provider and take up the unlimited plan for 24 months will receive a bonus credit of $540.”
According to Yasmin, “For busy small business people, mobiles phones are often a lifeline that keeps them connected and their business running. This unlimited plan is ideal for those who make long calls or are heavy users of SMS or MessageBank.
This is the latest offer in the Business Mobile PLUS range that was launched in November last year.
Yasmin said Business Mobile Plus was developed in response to business customers’ requests for simpler, more flexible plans as well as reduced call rates when they combine all their services on one account.
Other key features of Mobile PLUS include free calls in Australia between services on the same account, one rate for both video and voice calls, per second charging, and the ability for users on the same account to share any unused included credit across their services.
Now here’s the fine print from the lawyers:
1 Our FairPlay policy (excluding the provisions pertaining to excessive use) applies
2 Min cost for 12 months is $2,160 plus usage
3 Min cost is $3,600 plus usage
We have tried this plan on one of our mobile telephones and we are still being charged for all calls.
Where is the saving?
