The Red Penguin Group Share Advice for Businesses Considering a SIM Card
Red Penguin Group Ltd
Technology & Software
Almost all of us has a mobile phone, you might even be reading this article on one now, and each phone needs a SIM in order to operate. The majority of these are for personal use, but now businesses have the option to provide their employees with a business SIM as well.
Here, Nottingham IT firm The Red Penguin Group share their insight into what you need to know if you’re considering a business sim card.
What is a business SIM card?
As you might imagine, a business SIM is a SIM card that is linked to a mobile phone account owned and paid for by your business. This allows you to stipulate how many SIM cards you need, and can share plans or packages, allowing things like data to be spread around. They work on 5G networks to ensure that you get the speed and coverage that you need to help everyone in your business to stay connected.
Customisable tariffs
Whilst many network providers will give consumers a handful of fixed tariffs to choose from, business SIMs have a lot more flexibility. You can choose what you will need, and what you want your staff to be able to do and then build a tariff around your own specific needs, and this can end up saving the business significant amounts of money, as there is less wastage.
As each SIM is attached to one contract, there is the option to have one huge pool of data available that can be shared by all of the users. This takes away the worry of anyone going over their limits, especially if there are others in the group who use it less often.
Business accounts
Whilst some businesses started investing in individual mobile phone contracts for their employees, it soon proved to be an unmanageable task. Keeping on top of each bill, upgrade, tariff and additional fees can cause a huge administrative headache. By opting for a business SIM account, you can ensure that all mobile phones are with one provider, making it easier to keep track of your bill and make any necessary adjustments.
Customer service
By taking out a business account that has multiple SIMs, you can expect better and more responsive customer service than you might do from one of the big networks. This means that if any problems arise, you will have someone on the end of the phone who can help you, and you can expect expert advice on which network provider will be best for your business, and how to work you tariff around your needs.
Rolling contracts
When taking out a consumer mobile phone contract, you can easily find yourself signing away two years of your life at a time. This is often far too big a commitment for a business to make, especially with so many variables of not knowing how their business will fare or how long their employees will stay with them. When taking out a business account, it is possible to make long term commitments or sign up for rolling monthly contracts that can provide a much more flexible option.
Compatible devices
As business SIM cards might be needed for many different uses, they have been designed to be flexible. That is why a business SIM can not only be used for a mobile phone, but also for a tablet or a laptop or other devices, enabling you to find the solutions that work the best for your business.
Signing up for a business SIM contract is easy, and it has the flexibility to add to the number of SIMs you have whenever you need to, ensuring that it can grow with your business.
