BT are currently marketing their Business Plan Tariff for Landline Call Charges implying business customers will make large savings on their call costs. In our opinion, the BT Business Plan is a clever piece of marketing. Their capped rate of 20p for local and national calls and 25p for calls to mobiles seems very attractive but our research has indicated that many business customers will see an increase in their Landline Call Charges as a result.
Call costs: Our rate per minute is significantly lower than BT's business rate on either their standard or tailored tariffs. Hence you save money.
Call duration: Data from Energis (one of the UK's largest network operators) shows that 90% of business calls are under 3 minutes and our data shows the average duration of a call is less than 2 minutes. Therefore BT's capped rates make little difference on a typical business call spend.
Setup charge for calls to mobiles: BT charges a 7p setup charge for every call to a mobile. We do not.
