Touch screen business mobile phones

September 23rd, 2009

In business, a mobile phone is an invaluable tool. Not that long ago, representatives, for example, were incommunicado with both the office and their clients – sometimes for long periods at a stretch. Even the mobile phones of a few years back have changed and are today offering business users a range of facilities.

Today many mobile phones offer touch screen capabilities. What is great about touch screens are that they are good for those who need to send a lot of emails. With their full QWERTY keyboards and predictive text entry, they are changing the way we send emails. Many touch screen handsets come equipped with e-mail, web applications and business email synchronicity. If you are looking for business mobile phones for business use then these models will make your life easier, your client’s lives easier and your employees’ lives easier.

Touch screen mobile phones make editing or creating documents easy too, as they come pre-loaded with software that can do this. These phones also allow for easy downloading of additional software when needed. Some models also allow for touch sensitive displays which means you can see who is calling you.

Many networks offer touch screen business mobile phones as part of their packages. These phones also offer built in GPS services, which means you will never be late for an appointment again. If you need easy access to your handset and enhanced functionality you will get this with a touch screen. In fact touch screen mobile phones have all the facilities needed to create your own little office away from the office.

Consider customer support before choosing business mobile phones

August 25th, 2009

What are the important things to consider when you make the momentous decision to choose business mobile phones? The business mobile tariffs are usually top of the list. Network coverage and connectivity options are not too far down the list and then there’s handset design and usability – making sure that your staff have the tools they need to do the job. There is one element of choosing a package which is often overlooked by businesses anxious to get the best possible deal: customer support. Good customer support is of paramount importance.

Make sure that the company who organise your business mobile phones will contact the network on your behalf, and not leave you hanging on the phone for hours becoming more and more frustrated.

Equally, if you have ever experienced long waits for promised cash back, or experienced incorrect billing information, what seemed like a good deal when you made the commitment will make for an interesting shift in your business perspective. It may well be worth while finding out what existing customers think of the customer support offered by your prospective business mobile provider.

With Telco Communications, our customers are not only given impartial advice as to the best business mobile tariffs and handsets for them, they are also given an unparalleled level of customer support with experienced operators, minimal queuing, and regular visits and consultations. Our existing customers are pleased to recommend us to others – a vote of confidence that we are proud to have.

What to look for in a smartphone

August 21st, 2009

Your business mobile phones package should enable you to be more efficient and thus more productive. Smartphones are to all intents and purposes, hand held computers with a variety of powerful tools that are designed to make your business life easier. What kind of features will the majority of your staff find most useful and easy to use?

All modern Smartphones these days are internet capable and can send and receive e-mails. Both BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices can download e-mail attachments in a variety of industry standard formats. Top of the range BlackBerry devices even come with GPS for routing directions in a vehicle or on foot, which is great for finding your way around a strange city.

While BlackBerry makes proprietary phones, Windows Mobile is an operating system that can be installed on a variety of different phones which may have very different technical capabilities. Your staff members may prefer to use a Windows device because they will already be familiar with tools like Word or Excel on their home or office computers, minimising the learning curve. On the other hand, they may clamour for a BlackBerry, a company who have forged a reputation for usability and style.

Both BlackBerry and Windows Mobile Smartphones are fully featured, professional business mobile phones tools with a host of applications that could be advantageously used by your staff. At Telco Communications, we can provide many different types of business mobile phones, with business mobile tariffs that are affordable and optimised specifically for your requirements. The right combination of device and tariff can provide your business with savings, while providing your staff with everything needed to keep them working and your enterprise profitable.

Using business mobiles abroad

August 19th, 2009

While it makes perfect sense to assume that business mobile phones purchased in the UK will work in the UK, if your staff regularly need to travel abroad you may want to be sure that you can stay in touch with them, wherever they are.

GSM phones use the standard predominant in both Europe and the USA, but in America the frequencies are slightly different. If your handset can deal with both European and American frequencies it will be known as a tri-band phone. These business mobile phones can be used all over Europe and the States, (if your SIM is enabled for international roaming).

Scandinavia and the Far East are a different kettle of fish: here you will require a quad-band phone but there are still a few areas of the world where only a mobile phone bought in that particular location will work reliably.

Keeping connected means more than just talking. For data transfer, GPRS (although relatively slow) is a reliable, tried and tested standard. Faster 3G modems are available throughout the UK and in many European locations as well.

If you regularly do business abroad, your needs will differ according to the countries you visit. Is there one handset that offers all the connectivity solutions you require? Telco Communications provide a number of business mobile phones and can offer impartial advice to ensure that you choose a handset which will enable your staff to remain connected the vast majority of the time they travel abroad for business purposes.

Business mobile tariffs are more than what you pay – they are also about what you get.

August 17th, 2009

Competition is a great thing for forcing down price, and it is true that the costs of remaining connected on the move have dropped dramatically. There are such a lot of companies now vying for your custom that trying to work out what is best for you and your business can be overwhelmingly bewildering.

When considering the variety of business mobile tariffs on offer from service providers, it is important to look beyond the mere cost of the call. Some companies offer packages that include inclusive calls to business mobile phones. Others may have free unlimited texts or unlimited data transfer. Do you go for the inclusive minutes? Is free voicemail really an important consideration? What about travelling abroad? Are there differences in connectivity in the UK, Asia and the USA?

Answering these questions by wading through this potential minefield of information is time consuming, and can be frustrating. This is where utilising impartial experts who have an intimate knowledge of the telecommunications business and have your interests at heart becomes exceptionally useful.

Telco Communications offer a range of proven business mobile tariffs plans from the major service providers: Orange, O2, 3, Vodafone and T Mobile. We will help you choose the package that is right for you, taking into account your needs and circumstances. Our unparalleled reputation has been established by offering impartial advice. Other suppliers may seek to maximise their profit at your expense, we seek to keep you as a contented, long-term customer.

BlackBerry or Windows Mobile?

August 3rd, 2009

Keeping your staff in touch and connected brings a host of business advantages, but can also be a bit of a logistical nightmare. Selecting business mobile phones for your staff should be done with care – and the knowledge that there are many unscrupulous operators out there who may be looking to maximise their profits rather than your convenience.

Telco Communications have built up a reputation for offering a customer based service in which impartial advice is given according to your needs.  We offer smart phones such as the BlackBerry and also business mobile phones running Windows Mobile. Which is best for your business? The answer will depend on your specific needs, service provider packages, price, design, and also your existing IT infrastructure.

Windows Mobile offers tools that will be familiar to members of staff used to the Windows operating system on their work or home computers. This familiarity and ease-of-use minimises the learning curve. BlackBerry is a market leader precisely because the operating system is stable, fast and easy to use. Both operating systems support corporate e-mail systems such as Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes and can be configured for POP3 e-mail accounts and web mail services. Windows Mobile integrates popular web based mail accounts like Yahoo, Hotmail and Windows Live ‘out-of-the-box’, while BlackBerry can easily be configured to access these popular e-mail applications.

Still confused? This is where the professional and friendly advice offered by Telco Communications will come into play. We can help you weigh up the options to provide your staff with a smart phone package which will keep them in touch and give you real business and financial advantages.
