Significant savings on mobile phone costs

If your business only requires a small number of mobile phones, and your current users settle their bills individually, it is very easy to overlook what the overall cost may be.   

After all, if the users need them, the phones are being used for company business and aren't costing the earth, you might think there's no point in spending time checking the cost.  But major savings can be achieved, even on low usage, if you structure your mobile phones deal efficiently.

As a general rule, and assuming normal business usage, the average unit cost per handset on a mobile phones contract should reduce as more handsets are added to the deal.  Therefore, the aim should always be to have all company users on one contract with a single provider. 

Significant savings can often be achieved by carrying out such an exercise. The problem is that in many businesses, mobile phone users arrange individual deals to suit their own requirements without looking at the wider picture. 

There are a number of reasons why this situation can arise.  Some users will have had bad experiences with certain networks in the past, are happy with the coverage offered by their current provider and will be reluctant to change. Others may have been tempted by offers of "free" handsets and other promotional offers, or simply been left to sort out a deal themselves when they needed a new phone.     

So how do you go about selecting a single provider for the mobile phones in your business?  The five mainstream mobile phone networks in the UK - O2, T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and 3 - along with others such as Virgin and BT Mobile who use these main networks, are always bombarding potential customers with offers.  How do you decide which is the best deal for you?
