Business mobiles are an important tool; they provide the means for constant communication and allow your staff to work remotely, wherever they are. This can mean that, no matter the distance between you and them, you can work together to ensure that every goal is met.
As smartphone technology has evolved, so too has the use of phones in business; rather than simply relying on desk phones and landlines, sales staff and customer service teams are able to adapt and react to customers and clients in the best way possible. This does not only include voice calls, but also text, messenger apps and email too - quality smartphone investment allows for a huge range of functions that might otherwise be missed.

Mobile Phones in Business
Mobile Phones in Business
Early models of the modern mobile phone were readily adopted in the 1980s by high-powered business people who needed to be in contact with other high-powered business people. In the following three decades, mobile phones have become ubiquitous.
Although embraced by the consumer market, the value and sophistication of modern mobile phones can probably be most appreciated in the business world.
With their integration of wireless internet technology, the cloud and the fact that the power and versatility of many smart phones approaches that of laptop computers, it is now possible to take the office with you on a single, small device, enabling you to access important files remotely through the cloud, respond to emails, develop your brand on social media and, obviously, make and take calls.
With great improvements in infrastructure upgrades and new technologies such as 4G over the past decade, network coverage and availability are important factors when choosing the network provider that is best suited to your needs. An experienced business mobile provider should be able to provide advice on this as well as offer a full range of services including account management, flexible call and data plans, and the best handsets for your business needs.

Businesses looking to invest in smartphones will always be interested in cost; just like with personal phone contracts, it is vital that you find the deal most suitable to your staff. If you require handsets and tariffs for your whole company, for example, then your requirements will differ from a business only looking to equip their sales or customer service staff.

In this section, we have created comparison tables to help you understand how much the average business might pay for this mobile phone contracts.

| 5 | £15-£45/month | £200-£450 | £125 | £1625 |
As with the first table, the one above has calculated total costs based on the average monthly contract cost and average handset cost. Of course, if your sales team is likely to require more extensive contract inclusions - or higher-end handsets, then this cost may be more.
