Europe UK : T-Mobile announced new price structures for its Business 1-Plan tariff, strengthening its position as the mobile price plan of choice for business.

Business 1-Plan enables businesses to reap more value from their mobile communications investment by building a truly flexible allowance of voice, data and SMS that can be shared across up to 250 users.   Business 1-Plan removes the complexity surrounding mobile technology costs by providing one simple plan and one bill for all mobile communications, allowing for accurate and consistent budgeting.

Business 1-Plan now offers businesses with fewer than 30 connections a special offer of double the amount of voice minutes within their price plan at no added cost. Businesses with more than 30 connections benefit from another special offer, giving a price of just £10 per person per month.  The updated tariff also offers better value than previously with the same level of control.  Businesses can bolt on extra bundles of minutes in increments of 250 minutes to meet their needs

Oliver Chivers, Head of Business Marketing at T-Mobile UK, said: "These enhancements to the Business 1-Plan ensure that our customers now get even more value from their mobile communications, along with the same level of visibility and control.  No two businesses have the same mobile communications requirements which is why Business 1-Plan is tailored to meet the exact needs of the customer, based on consultation with our business experts."

Chivers continued: "Business 1-Plan has completely transformed the mobile communications landscape for business.  With even more competitive pricing now on offer and the steps we are taking to create the UK’s most extensive 3G network, T-Mobile continues to be the best mobile communications choice for businesses."  

Business 1-Plan includes calls from the UK to Europe and North America as T-Mobile recognises that many business transactions are no longer confined to the UK. Plus all Business 1-Plan users are charged a great rate for calls made and another for calls received whilst abroad and each user receives an SMS on arrival in another country clearly detailing roaming charges.  T-Mobile also partners with the leading mobile networks around the world to offer the very best user experience and network coverage to customers.

As more and more businesses come to rely on fast, effective mobile voice and data communications to compete in the market place, T-Mobile has also taken steps to ensure that it offers businesses a fast and robust network across the UK.

T-Mobile offers businesses one of the strongest networks within the UK, with over 99 per cent voice and GPRS coverage and the most extensive mobile broadband network across the UK with speeds up to 1.8mb per second. In December 2007, T-Mobile signed an agreement with 3 UK to integrate their 3G access networks in a ground-breaking collaboration that will lead to almost complete population coverage for 3G services across Britain by the end of 2008.

T-Mobile also offers the largest worldwide Wi-Fi network with more than 1,000 HotSpots in business-friendly locations in the UK and 21,000 worldwide.

As a testament to T-Mobile’s confidence in Business 1-Plan, T-Mobile is challenging businesses to compare the tariff with its current mobile phone provider via its tariff checker on
