Whilst we are able to provide business mobiles to companies of all sizes throughout the UK, being based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, means that we can offer a real local service to businesses in the region large and small.

There are many advantages to using a local mobile supplier. We are able to provide faster assistance when things go wrong, such as broken or faulty handsets, and can quickly be with you with replacements without any postal delays.

You will get to know the people dealing with your account, by phone, email and face-to-face, and have continuity of service throughout your account. You do not have to ring a call centre and speak to a random operator when you need help.

Often using local suppliers is seen as more costly than going via a larger company. This is not the case with us. Our partnership with 21C Telecom, a Vodafone Platinum Partner, gives us access to the best deals for your mobile phones and for a full range of telecoms products and services.

We will also reciprocate trading with businesses in Derbyshire. Wherever possible we like to use local companies for all of our own consumables and infrastructure.

Derbyshire and surrounding counties

Our Ilkeston base enables us to quickly visit your business in both Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire too. We have the majority of our clients in the East Midlands meaning that we are regularly in your area to offer advice and assistance as necessary.

Are you coming to the end of your current business mobile contract? Before renewing at least give us the opportunity to take a look at your bills to see whether savings could be made. Your business could be saving a lot of money by ensuring you are on the correct tariff for your usage.

As a local supplier we can sit down with you to go through all of the different options and show you the different devices on offer. You can try them out, see what new mobile technology could do for your business.

If you still have a while to run on your current contract you can still contact us. Often savings can be enough to cover buy-out costs and still deliver lower monthly payments. Or put us in your diary to call a couple of months before expiry.

We still have Vodafone tariffs with reduced line rental. For shared minute tariffs of 3,000 minutes or more there is a 25% discount on the line rental for the lead handset. This could lead to savings of over £300 per month on the largest discount tariff.

Vodafone's data promotion is still running too, meaning that you can get half price on their 1GB package. Add these two together and you could save some serious money on your current contract by switching to Vodafone.

On top of this we are maximising the amount of subsidy for new handsets. This means you will be able to get better handsets free of charge on your chosen tariff. In some circumstances we will be giving away ALL of our up-front commission to you in the form of new phones or kit allowance.

Getting a better business mobile deal

When you contact a number of business mobile dealers you will find the same, or similar, tariffs on offer. Where the difference lies is in a number of areas:

• The value of kit they will supply to you
• The advice and help they can give you to pinpoint the best offers and deals
• Help with new technology and how it could improve productivity
  
• The level of customer service and care you receive

At Business Mobile World our aim is to both reduce costs and improve communications. In the long term this is far better for your business than simply cutting costs and going for the lowest quote regardless.

In fact be very wary when comparing quotes and ensure they are made on identical terms. If you take out the cheapest contract but it does not have sufficient inclusive allowances you could find that your first bill is much higher than you expected due to out-of-bundle charges.

It is only at this stage that you realise your mistake, but by this time you are tied in to a 24 month contract!

We are very open about our charges and how our deals and offers work. We put everything in writing and make sure you are happy with your deal before contracts are drawn up. The last thing we want is unhappy customers and complaints.

Who is eligible?

Any type and size of business is welcome to apply. From a single handset to several hundred. We will conduct a review of your current usage and bills to see where savings can be made. We also look at how you use your mobiles away from the office and whether you are getting maximum value from the features on offer.

The best mobile devices empower your workforce and drive productivity. Giving your employees the right tools to do the job will not only make them more efficient but happier too. No more struggling with out-of-date technology!

For larger business users and corporate mobile phone accounts the savings can run into tens of thousands over the course of a standard contract. This type of saving cannot be ignored and regular review of large accounts is a must.

Small and medium sized businesses will not see such large savings but a few hundred or thousand pounds saved, whilst simultaneously improving mobile communication, can only be a positive step for any business.

It's free to obtain a review which will be conducted at your convenience. Let us show you how our 15 year experience in the mobile phone sector can obtain the best business mobile deal for your company.
We can also talk to you about the future of telecoms and how data solutions, hosted services and unified communications could further improve productivity and give you a competitive edge.

Utilising the services of an independent mobile phone dealer, such as ourselves, is going to save you time and money. You do not have to search through the many deals on offer from the major networks to find the one that best matches your usage, we do that for you.

Money can be saved by reducing your tariff where circumstances allow, or even INCREASING you tariff to avoid swingeing "out-of-bundle" charges. We can also source the right mobile handsets for your needs at the right price.

Looking at your existing bills we will analyze where you are currently paying too much - this could be in premium rate calls, data usage or roaming charges, for instance. Then we can tailor a package that properly reflects your usage.

Reducing your costs now and in the future

We keep an eye on the future, so if you are expanding and are going to need more users, minutes, data etc. we can factor this in as well as looking at how the very latest mobile technology could help improve productivity and make your working life easier.

At the end of our review you will have a report which compares the business mobile deals on offer from the major networks. This will be fully costed and give you a range of options to choose from, such as different handsets, where applicable.

If you decide to become a customer with us we are always looking at ways to reduce your costs and keep you on the optimum tariff. We are pro-active at solving any problems that do arise and make sure you are always kept informed of new developments which could help your business.

As well as mobile phones we can also review a full range of telecoms where necessary to put together a complete telecoms solution. Taking multiple products enables the maximum cost savings, ensures the different telecom components work together and offers smoother administration and problem resolution via a single point of contact.

We regularly have offers and deals running across our range of business mobile products and contracts. Some of the latest deals can be seen below.

iPad 2 only £266

The iPad 2 is thinner, lighter and faster than its predecessor. More and more businesses are seeing real advantages to using tablets within their daily working life, and this is the best tablet about currently.

We are offering it for only £266 when taken with a new data connection. If you sign up before the end of July the data connection will only cost you £18 for a large 5GB of data per month, plus you also receive 2GB of BT Openzone wi-fi.

This contract is with Vodafone who offer excellent coverage around the UK. The price of £266 applies to the 16GB version. Other versions are available and we also offer a range of different data plans.

Quotations subject to VAT and a 24 month contract.

25% of leader line rental

With a shared minute tariff you have a leader, with the bulk of the contract costs, and sharers which are added at a flat rate. We currently have 25% discount on leader line rental on selected tariffs. For instance, a 3,000 minute tariff normally charged at £155 is now only £116.

Should you sign up for a new contract today this discount will apply for the full 24 months of your contract saving you a considerable amount. The maximum saving on the largest tariff works out at more than £7,000 over the course of the contract!

£5 off mobile email

On certain tariffs which do not include data as standard, it is charged extra on a per handset basis. Providing the underlying line rental is £25 or more you will receive a £5 discount on your data bolt-on which applies throughout your contract.

New mobile broadband tariffs

We have new mobile broadband prices which are more flexible. Starting at just £3 per month for occasional users. New roaming rates also apply which make it cheaper for you to access mobile broadband overseas. Contact us for all of the different options and pricing.

Mobiles are no longer just a means of keeping in touch whilst out and about, they are powerful business tools allowing you to keep your office in your pocket. When looking to renew your current business mobile contract you should ensure that you get the maximum return from your investment.

Too many companies look at their mobile contract renewal as a cost reduction exercise. Certainly cost reductions are good, and we always aim to deliver them where possible, but improved communications and ways of mobile working will deliver much greater benefits over the course of the contract in terms of increased productivity.

Our aim is to supply the perfect handsets for your business, matching the mobile features with the ones you are going to need. There's no point in paying for features you don't use. By keeping handset costs down, whilst not compromising on their usability and quality, we keep your costs down too. We can supply a mixture of new handsets in addition to a kit allowance for future replacement, upgrade and new requirements.

When looking at your new tariff we analyse your current mobile bills to see the actual usage. Tailoring a tariff to your usage is going to give you the optimum ROI. We also look forward to the likely requirements of the business moving forward and ensure flexibility is built in to cope with future developments.

Flexible working solutions

Because we are not just a business mobile dealer, but a converged telecoms supplier, we can also look at ways in which your business can become more flexible by implementing a communications strategy that spans all of your devices, both mobile and fixed, that ensures their best integration.

More employees want and expect to be able to do at least some of their work from home or away from the office. Providing your staff with more flexible ways of working will not only improve productivity but also staff retention.

The telecoms industry is fast paced and new technology is emerging all of the time. If you haven't reviewed your telecom services in a while it is likely you could benefit from us taking a look at your current infrastructure and advising where improvements could be made. It's a free, no obligation service.

We offer our services to companies of all sizes from local one-man bands in Derbyshire through to national corporate multi-site enterprises. We can provide standalone single products or fully converged end-to-end solutions. If it's telecoms related, we want to hear from you, and we want to help you.

Would you like a free mobile phone for your business? We have a range of mobiles available free of charge on a variety of tariffs. Our basic business tariff starts at £25 and includes the following:

• 500 mobile minutes
• 3,000 landline minutes
• 250 texts
• 500MB of data

This includes a free mobile handset. You could choose from the following:

• BlackBerry Curve 8520
• HTC Wildfire
• Nokia X6
• Sony Ericsson Elm

For business users looking for more mobile minutes the tariffs rise as follows:

• 750 mobile minutes - £30
• 1,000 mobile minutes - £35 (data increased to 750MB)
• 1,250 mobile minutes - £40 (data increased to 750MB)
• 2,000 mobile minutes - £45 (data increased to 1GB)

All of these tariffs include texts, data and landline minutes as above. They are on the Vodafone network and subject to 24 months contract.

With higher tariffs the choice of free business mobile available becomes greater. This brings in the likes of the BlackBerry 9800 Torch, Apple iPhone, HTC Desire HD and a host of other SmartPhones.

Large business mobile tariffs

For business users looking for more than one handset contact us to get the best deals. We can supply multiple free handsets, either the same or a range of different ones to suit different tastes and jobs.

We can cater for SMEs with 5 or more mobiles and corporate mobile users with several hundred handsets. The greater the number of handsets the more value we can bring to your business in terms of cost reductions and communication improvements.

As well as Vodafone business mobile tariffs we also offer Orange and O2 contracts. We can help you with upgrades and with solving problems with your existing mobile dealer.

Business Mobiles - it always used to be about getting a lower price when your contract was due for renewal. This was because phones did not do much more than talk and text and there was little difference between handsets.

Whilst cost reductions should never be ignored, now it is also about considering value for money. You may have to pay more to get the right handsets for your business but they could pay for themselves quickly with an increase in productivity as a result of their features.

"Work smarter, not harder" - an advertising slogan from a few years ago that is very apt when considering mobile phones today. The SmartPhone is dominating the market currently and as their popularity grows so are the functions they can perform via new apps.

It is not just larger businesses where these features are being integrated into their communication policies, small businesses can gain from a number of features offered by SmartPhones.

Getting value for money on your business mobiles is about striking the right balance between the handsets you receive and the tariff you need. For instance, taking out a higher tariff with allowances beyond your needs in order to get a handset free of charge makes little sense in the long run when you add in all of the cost factors.

Also taking out the very latest mobiles on your tariff when you don't need the features offered is folly. The high end handsets tend to have more problems by virtue of the incredible hardware and software that's packed into them. If you only want to use your phone to talk, get a sensible talk and text phone. If you work in a hard industry, get a "tough" phone to withstand the damage that could be inflicted during your work.

When analyzing your current contract look at the extra charges being incurred. If you are regularly paying extra for calls, texts and data it is likely you are on the wrong tariff. Similarly if you never exceed your allowances and have a lot left each month you might be better off on a reduced tariff.

It might be that your usage varies wildly between months, perhaps your business is seasonal, and the best value tariff needs to be calculated as a whole across the full length of the contract rather than on a monthly basis.

There are a range of variables which means that the best value business mobile contract offered by different suppliers will vary. Always get at least a couple of opinions before committing to a new contract. Perhaps we can suggest better ways to use your phones in order to improve productivity and profitability.

 

It's pretty much standard that mobile phones on contract should be free, certainly in the B2C sector. In fact many people take out contracts with minutes, texts and data well above what they actually need, or contracts of longer length, in order to obtain the latest SmartPhones free of charge.

Business users are usually a bit more savvy and understand that this is very much a false economy. Over the course of your contract you will be paying much more than you need to.

For some businesses, with high usage who need large contracts, this does not apply - they will find that most mobile phones are available free of charge. Even so you should give some thought about your users needs and factors such as server integration before deciding upon your chosen mobile.

For businesses with fewer handsets or low usage this leaves them with two options:

• Make an upfront payment for your mobile handsets OR
• Choose your business mobile wisely

The fact is that high end handsets don't actually do much that more sensibly priced mobiles cannot do. For many business users the most important function of a phone is to keep in touch - ie. the ability of a phone to make voice calls. Even the cheapest business mobiles can do this well and in fact can often be more reliable than much more expensive phones.

Functions such as email, which were once the sole preserve of expensive handsets, now come as standard on most phones. In fact the main differentiator between SmartPhones these days, with hardware specs being very similar, are the applications the OS can run. So if you NEED specific apps as a business this might narrow down your choice.

Choosing the right handset and getting the best business mobile deal is complicated. The combination of options can be bewildering and ensuring that you have the optimum balance between handset features and tariff is not easy. 

We offer guidance based on our 15 years experience in mobile connectivity. This is spread across a wide range of business sectors giving us an insight into the features of a phone you will likely need.

Whether you have 1 handset or 100 plus you need to ensure you get the best free business mobile/s based upon your needs and usage. It is always wise to get a second opinion when negotiating renewal of your business mobile contract.

A quick review with ourselves will not take long out of your busy day and will ensure that you are getting the best deal. For more information please contact us.

At Business Mobile World we concentrate on delivering business tariffs and contracts. For businesses with 5+ handsets this option normally works out better for them and we can save them some money. However, where a business just wants one or two phones we struggle to compete with consumer tariffs and offers.

This is particularly noticeable on the latest SmartPhones where the high cost of the phones, which we have to fund out of our commission, means that the tariffs on which we can provide the handset free of charge are uncompetitive, particularly when you have to add VAT at 20% on top.

As a result we are now offering single handset users a range of the best deals on the latest SmartPhone handsets via consumer contracts rather than business. The current phones which we have highlighted are:

• HTC Desire HD
• Nokia N8
• BlackBerry Torch 9800
• Samsung Galaxy S
• Apple iPhone 4

However, this is not a complete list, you can find all of the latest handsets by visiting our consumer mobile deals page and clicking on the Android image.

As well as great SmartPhones with low prices you can also benefit from free gifts. These include:

• TVs
• Laptops
• Games Systems
• Tablet PCs
• Cashback

Signing up online is easy and many of the SmartPhones are available for free next day delivery.

For those looking for business mobile contracts we can still offer you them for single handsets, just complete our online enquiry form for your free quote.

There can be many reasons why a business would want to buy out of a mobile contract early. For instance:

• Dissatisfied with your current business mobile broker
• Unhappy with customer service direct from the network
• Moved premises to an area with poor signal on current network
• To take advantage of better deals
• Needing new hardware which cannot be supplied on current contract
• Other changes in circumstances

Depending on how long your current business mobile contract has to run this can be an expensive business. For instance if your monthly line rental is £150 (this is the base tariff only excluding any overspend) and you have 12 months left on the contract your buy out is going to be £1,800.

This might be money you cannot afford to pay. However this can often be included as part of your new package with a new network meaning that you get the services you require without having to pay a penny.

Every case is different and we look at each individual deal on its merits. Depending upon your new tariff there may be enough money available for both a buyout and new handsets.

To find out if you could qualify to end your current business mobile contract early and take out a new one without having to pay please contact us and we will look at the details of the deal to see if it can be done.

We are always working hard on behalf of our customers to get them the best business mobile deals. We deal with all of the major business mobile networks and know how to switch your account between them with the minimum of fuss.

For the first post of 2011 it seems like a good time to refresh the underlying message of this website - how to find the best business mobile deal.

With 2011 promising to be a pretty miserable year for many businesses thanks to the Government cuts it is essential to look at all of your expenditure and see where savings can be made. Telecoms is one area where lower costs are available for many.

You already have enough on your plate running your own business so we want to make it as easy as possible for you to save money. Just submit a copy of your latest mobile phone bill for us to analyze and show you how much you could save.

By submitting an actual bill you are also ensuring that we are basing our quotation on your actual usage rather than an assumed figure based on your tariff. We can also advise on new handsets and technology which could help improve your working practices and result in increased productivity and profitability.

At the same time we can also help with your other telecoms. This includes business landline call charges, where we are particularly competitive at the moment, broadband, tracking and more.

By taking multiple services from one provider you will benefit from the lowest rates available together with simpler administration and problem resolution. No grey areas between suppliers, no call centres - our aim is to save you money and make your life easier!

How do you find the best business mobile deal? You could go direct to all of the mobile phone networks and ask them all for a quotation. This would however involve a lot of work on your part giving out the same information and answering their subsequent questions as all networks require different things.

Then when you get the quotes back you need to compare them. At this stage you will realise that because of the different tariffs used by each network a simple direct comparison is incredibly difficult.

By using Business Mobile World you make your life simpler. You submit your details once and can get on with running your business whilst we find you the best deal. We have all of the current tariff details for the networks and can quickly fit your requirements to the one that will give you the optimum value.

We can also offer any handset available in the UK. If you have specific phone requirements we can meet them. If you prefer to tell us what you need your phone to do and let us find you the best handset we can quickly pinpoint the device that will deliver exactly as required.

We offer a bespoke tariff analysis service. No two businesses are alike and usage can vary greatly even with businesses of similar size in the same sector. We can look at your existing bills to check your exact usage and ensure our quotation offers you everything you need in terms of minutes, texts and data as well as additional services such as roaming and international calls.

At the same time we can offer new technologies and innovations which improve your communications and make your working life easier.

Our best business mobile deal service is free of charge and entirely without obligation. As well as business mobiles we also offer a range of other business telecoms services which can be incorporated into a converged communications solution. Get intouch for a free quote.

The new BlackBerry Torch 9800 looks like it is due to come to the UK in October. When you take a look at all of the features on offer it looks like they have tried to cram in just about everything into a single handset.

It has a touchscreen AND a slide out QWERTY keyboard, enhanced browsing with multi-touch and pinch to zoom, enhanced multimedia functions - it looks like it is trying to appeal to just about everyone. But is it good value for your business?

The simple answer is likely to be NO. With all of these features it is going to be a seriously expensive phone which means an extremely large contract to obtain it free of charge. How many of the features do you actually need? How many are going to genuinely useful to your business?

You also have the age old problem of the more things that are included the more that can go wrong! This particularly applies to the slider mechanism which often fails with heavy usage.

Having said all of that we still expect plenty of people to want one. We have a lot of BlackBerry users amongst our customer base and they will want to try BlackBerry's newest phone for themselves.

Getting the best business mobile deal is achieved by focusing on the features you actually need and obtaining handsets that do what you want without any frills. This means that you can choose the best tariff for your actual usage without worrying about having to pay for expensive phones.

At Business Mobile World we are not restricted in handset choice as we have a number of suppliers who offer unlocked mobiles which can be used on any network. You can mix and match handsets, choosing mobiles depending upon people's different roles in the business.

If you want a contract for 5 mobile phones, each of them different, that is no problem. We also cater for businesses looking for dozens of the same phone, keeping plenty of standard handsets in stock for next day delivery.

A simple review can show you the best business mobile deal for your usage, just contact us to find out more.
