Hi guys,

What mobile networks are you guys with and do you have a normal or business tariff?

Ive got a blackberry on orange business and their customer service and support is 100% bang on.

Today I accidently dropped my phone and it turned itself off and now wont turn on properly.

Ive called them and a replacement is coming tomorrow.

Business tariffs are more expensive each month but you certainly get value for money in the service.

orange have always been great to me with their standard tariff, but unfortunately i get no signal with them where i live so i have had to go with O2 who seem ok, but i have never had a problem that needs sorting out

Got 2 handsets on 1 contract for myself and wife on orange business and there service is the mutts nuts!!!!

[Dean Taberner]

Lee,

The signal with orange is terrible on my BB at my house but thanks to their UMA system I get 100% signal on my BB by connecting the phone to my wifi.

my wife has a BB with uma and it is great, but i insist on having an iphone and they dont have it, orange is much better for everywhere else locally to me but i need the signal at home. I work with my brother who is on orange and the amount of times i have to use his phone because mine has no network.

[Frankybadboy]

vodafone here as with orange cant get a signal in the house and around are area its crap.


never had problem with voda

It sounds like I'm slating orange, I'm not, if I could get a decent orange signal or iPhone did uma I would be back go orange like a shot, they are excellent if you have a problem.

My experience with Orange and their customer service is rather different. I moved to them from Vodafone 7 months ago. First chance I get ill move back.

As a sole trader, I find that Asda PAYG is enough.  Some months it doesn't even cost me a fiver.  For me it's more about being contactable than needing to phone out.  However, if I had a business involving a few employees I imagine a contract would be better.
Asda is 8ppm/4ppm talk/texts.  It can cover anywhere that Vodafone can due to Vodafone providing the backbone.
I used to have a Vodafone contract but, quite frankly, it was wasted on me.

i too just use  a PAYG ,on o2 .  i buy a cheap camera fone in Tesco and just get it unlocked by the local unlocking shop. in my wallet are a couple of backup Sim cards for other networks to slide in  if theres a problem getting a signal

[the bfg]

I'm with vodafone business plan which costs me £50 a month for which I get 2000 anytime mins,  unlimited landline calls and other stuff which included an I phone which I flogged on ebay for £450

[dazmond]

any mobile will do IMO.as long as you are contactable and have the same number on ya business cards and leaflets!!

i have a voicemail message along the lines of "hi this is darren the window cleaner,sorry im not around at the moment if you d like to leave your name and number ill get back to you as soon as i can.thank you!



works a treat!!


regards

Hi

I need to get a new phone soon and im thinking about getting one through the business on a business tariff do you need to prove all outbound calls are business purposes or do you have a pay as you go phone for personal calls ?

Thanks Paul

I have got 2 iphone4 on o2, we share 1000mins, 1000 texts, unlimited data and I think I get 50 photos a month, also 12 month contract. I only pay £45.00 a month for both of them, which I think is agreat deal.

thanks for the reply do you have to prove the all calls made & received on these phones are for business only or does it not matter  

This is my problem i need a new phone

If i was getting a phone for personal use only i would get a cheap one that i can make and recieve calls on would cost £15 per month

but

For business i need one that does web, email, apps would be nice and has a music player/fm radio would cost £35 per month

I don't want to pay £35 per month from my personal account when the phone is mainly 90% for business use with the odd personal call 


Thanks Paul

I personally have never had to prove what the phone calls are.
