The big 4 UK networks are yet again locked in a price war, one that you would probably expect in a market as mature as mobile communications. Offerings are getting more aggressive with several networks refreshing their talk plans in the hope of luring you to their network. Clearly they all want you, but who wants you the most?

Orange

Is the future bright? Yes! The current Solo and new Business Sense tariffs are posiibly the cheapest available via Tariffsupermarket in over 70% of comparisons compared with all other network RRP. With simple to understand talk shares and exceptional added value on 18 and 24 month contracts, Orange is the network that should see the highest take up rate. Free calls are on offer to Orange users, free evening calls and also free weekend calls depending on the tariff and term you choose to commit to. International calls from the UK to 28 countries are now also part of the minute bundle with Business Discount Options 24 month contract. If you have never been connected to Orange before, the current tariff range is definitely worth considering.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile have taken the aggressive stance of halving the cost of parent line rentals on their Business 1 plan tariffs with a 24 month contract commitment making it their cheapest talk share tariff to date. 2000 minutes shared across 8 connections for example will set you back £160.00 per month RRP, connected via Tariffsupermarket a mere £105.29, that’s value. All product supplied by T-Mobile is covered under warranty whilst you are connected offering a direct replacement in the event of failure. Calls can be made to and from Europe and US from the inclusive minute bundle.*

Vodafone

Vodafone have also reviewed its talk share tariffs making their customer offering more in-line with the likes of o2. Total Business offers pricing which is easy to follow, with the advantages of inclusive landline calls and text messages. 100 texts per user costs £3.00 per month with 3,000 texts only costing £5.00. All in all a vastly enhanced tariff range.That’s better Vodafone!

O2

o2 probably offer the most diverse range of products in the network battle. The current tariff range allows you to build your own tariff in effect by “bolting on” extra minutes and text messages to arrive at the required amount of minutes and texts. Not necessarily the easiest to work out having so may permutations, but certainly an entertaining exercise. The o2 text bundles are the cheapest available with 500 texts costing £5.00 or 1p per text, that’s cheap! Discounts are offered for longer term contracts as you would expect and similar to Vodafone a mid- term upgrade is available to you if you commit to a 24 month contract. Again the value of the product offered is spend dependant.
