Vodafone UK is revising its price plans for sole traders and smaller businesses into set of tariffs that automatically include a number of benefits.

As well as receiving monthly allowances of data, calls and text messages that can - where appropriate - be shared between other users on the same account, Vodafone Business customers are able to use their mobile data when ‘tethered’ to a laptop or tablet and are also being given 2GB of BT Openzone WiFi per month.

In addition, the Vodafone One Net Express service is now being offered from £10+VAT a month. This gives businesses a ‘virtual’ landline number that goes straight through to their mobile, much like similar services from Orange UK and Gradwell Mobile. The Vodafone deal also includes 3,000 UK landline minutes every month along with the option of forwarding landline calls to other employees.

Tim Stone, Small Business Sales Director for Vodafone UK, said “Small businesses are the lifeblood of the country and for these customers our sole focus is to help them thrive and grow. Everyday, our small business customers tell us they must be armed with the right tools so they can run their business from wherever they are. They need to be able to adapt quickly and find new ways of working in order to remain competitive in the current economic climate. That’s why we’ve combined our existing tariffs with our innovative One Net Express service into one, simple, value-for-money plan. Vodafone Business allows customers to adapt the plan as their needs change. With the addition of Vodafone One Net Express, businesses can be confident they will be more agile, productive and flexible – essential if they’re going to continue to remain competitive.”
