3 Targets Business Users with New Deals

3 Business, the new small business division of mobile operator 3, has unveiled a range of new deals for small businesses with the introduction of its Business Mix and Match plans. 3 Business says its pricing structure offers customers a new level of value and customisation in their companys mobile plans, as well as making advanced Internet services like mobile Skype accessible on a business plan for the first time.
Starting from 12.77 per month, 3 Business customers can choose from a range of options for voice minutes, texts, mobile broadband data and handsets. In addition, for the first time on any network, 3s Business Mix & Match plans offer free Skype calls from mobiles, which enable businesses to stay in touch for free via calls made over the web.
Every Business Mix and Match customer will receive 300 free 3-to-3 minutes, free Skype-to-Skype calls, free voicemail and free Instant Messenger. Customers can select from five plans of minutes or texts, from 12.77 a month for 300 minutes or texts, through to 22.98 a month for 1,100 minutes or texts. Depending on the package selected customers also receive further bonus extras including 2000 3-to-3 minutes, 1000 UK texts or 2000 UK landline minutes.
3 adds that Business Mix and Match also offers customers flexibility when choosing handsets. Customers will be able to select new handsets such as Nokias N95 or the HTC TyTN II, alongside established handsets such as Nokias E61 and 6500.
3 Business has also boosted the value of its Business 600, Business 900 and Flat Rate tariffs, giving customers on these price plans 2000 free 3-to-3 minutes.

Were bringing the same value and innovation that weve introduced into the UK consumer market to small businesses, says Renato Bottini, 3 Business Division Manager. We want to be the best value, to offer the most exciting new services and to give our customers the service levels they expect. Our voice and text offers are market-beating at every level and our mobile Internet services can be used by smart small businesses to drastically reduce monthly bills. At a time when all businesses are looking to control costs and do more on the move, these deals can make a real difference.
