A Guide to Saving Money on Your Office Smartphone Costs
And yet as cost effective as they
are, smartphones can be expensive to run, which is why Axis Telecoms suggests
that when you buy your employees smartphones, you follow our guide to save
money on your office smartphone costs…
·
Tailor
Your Plan to Your Needs: When looking at smartphone plans – calls, texts
and data, you need to think about how they will be used, to save money. Do your
employees make a lot of calls? If so, get a plan with unlimited minutes. If
not, get one with a set limit, and maybe go for one with unlimited texts
instead.
·
Save the
Battery: Smartphone batteries drain so easily, and recharging them can ramp
up your electric bills, which is why you should encourage employees to close
down apps after use, turn down the brightness of their phones and switch to
battery saving mode, as doing these makes the phone’s battery last longer.
·
Use a
Messaging App: One way to promote interoffice communication and reduce
smartphone bills at the same time, is to get your employees to use a messaging
app when out of the office to communicate, such as WhatsApp.
·
Find Free
Alternatives: In some cases, you will need to pay for apps that your
employees need to use, and you should, as they are wise investments. However often
there is an alternative app out there that’s free that you should get your
employees to download onto their phones instead to save money.
·
Use Wi-Fi
Where You Can: Most smartphone plans come with data limits, and when you go
over those limits, you have to pay for extra data to use the internet. That’s
why you should get employees to use Wi Fi in the office, to conserve data for
when they really need it.
You Need Smartphones to Remain Competitive
In the modern market place, as a
small business who is battling it out with every other small business out
there, you need to equip your employees with smartphones to stay competitive.
However, Axis Telecoms would ask you to remember that this doesn’t mean that
you need to pay exorbitant amounts to give your employees smartphones.
