BT
has released a new high value business bundle offering broadband
and calls to UK landlines, international destinations and mobile
numbers for just £30 a month.
Businesses
will also have the added freedom to build their own BT communications
package, from the most extensive range of options, covering calls,
broadband and mobile offered by a UK communications provider,
following the introduction of a range of new BT One Plan call
packages.
By
adopting a new way of buying communications services, businesses
can now create their own custom package, such as, BT
Business Total Broadband Option 1 and their calls to mobile,
international destinations and landlines fixed for only £30.
When
compared to buying services separately, businesses taking a call
package along with their broadband
package in this way will gain an additional 20% in value from
their broadband commitment. Businesses can build their own communications
package including as many or as few options as they want, gaining
more value the more they bring together in their flexible bundle.
The
new BT
One Plan call packages feature inclusive calling minutes to
UK landlines, fixed calls to UK mobiles and international destinations
for a low fixed monthly cost. Additionally BT has introduced savings
of up to 50% on the price per minute for calls to UK fixed lines
for businesses taking a call package with their broadband package.
Bill
Murphy, managing director of BT
Business, said: "In uncertain times, cash flow is king.
Knowing what your monthly outgoings are, is as important as keeping
them low. With the introduction of these changes, BT is helping
businesses manage their communications spend with one low fixed
cost package that they have the power to define themselves based
on what they need. BT is offering businesses a premier a la carte
service with the value and cost predictability benefits of having
a set menu. If the dessert is not to your taste – why keep
paying for it? This is a natural evolution in the market of communication
services."
All
service and billing enquiries will be dealt with through one number,
and one bill will cover all services for customers through BT
Business One Plan. BT
Business Broadband offers a 99.99% reliable broadband service,
with nine out of 10 faults resolved in less than four hours and
95% of calls to the 24/7 UK help desk are answered within 30 seconds.
To
achieve greater savings across communications spend, businesses
can also get unlimited calls within their business depending on
which components they opt for and 5% reward on their bill when
they hit their committed spending levels.
