Mobile giant Orange today launched three new business tariffs designed to accommodate the differing needs of businesses of all sizes.
Solo, venture and momentum have been created in response to the realisation that businesses need the freedom to select a package that is best suited to their individual requirements, whether sole trader, small business or medium or large enterprise, according to Orange.
The first offering, Orange Solo, is aimed at those who work for themselves. It includes a standard communications package as well as extras like Orange Care to ensure that faulty, lost or stolen handsets are replaced within 24 hours to ensure business call connectivity can carry on with minimum downtime. Three price plans are available (30, 35 and 40) ranging from 400 to 800 minute call bundles, with promotional download allowances also available. Unlimited landline calls or texts are also included.
The second new line up, Orange Venture, is aimed at those who need to maximise time spent at work and elsewhere, more specifically companies who employ up to 10 people who need to make the most of every spare moment. The minute-based tariff offers users a choice of seven price points ranging from 275 to 3,400 minute bundles. Discounting initial promotional offers, prices range from 28 to 165 a month.
The third and final new tariff offering is designed for bigger players who need to accommodate a vast array of employee working practices. It offers a choice of nine price plans ranging from 155 for 2,500 minutes to 3,000 for 45,000 minutes.
"We recognise that Britain's small and medium businesses are not a homogenous group and have developed a range of new tariffs to respond to their individual needs," said Martin Lyne, director of Orange UK's small business division.
"Designed to span the work life blur faced by many small business owners we hope Orange Solo and Orange Venture can offer our customers a communications package that enables them to live life on their terms. We see Orange Momentum playing a key role in ensuring that larger enterprises are always connected and, regardless of staff calling patterns, are not hampered by cost."
