But what about BT's capped business rate?

BT market their Business Plan Tariff implying that customers will make large savings on their call costs. In our opinion, the BT Business Plan is a clever piece of marketing. Their capped rates for calls seem very attractive but our research has indicated that many business customers will see an increase in their Landline Call Charges as a result. We find that the majority of calls are less than 2 minutes hence the cap never comes into play, however BT's minimum call charges or setup charges do and mean that many of your short calls, ie hung up at auto attendant or voicemail, get charged for. It may only be pennies but when multiplied by thousands of calls.....

 

The Facts

  • 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.

 

  • Minimum Contract Period: The BT business plan requires customers to commit to a 1 or 2 year contract. 

 

  • Minimum Threshold: BT customers will have to commit to a fixed spend threshold (claw backs will be invoked if thresholds are not reached). Spend as much or as little as you like with us and you'll and enjoy the same low rates.
