Fruitbowl - Fresh Ideas from Hawke's Bay

New announcement from Vodafone as realeaseed today on Vodafone NZ's forum site

Vodafone New Zealand is revolutionising the business of calling with its new talkZoneZero Plus plans for business customers.

With Vodafone's talkZoneZero Plus, customers can call anyone in New Zealand, anytime and anywhere for no more than $136 per user per month*.

Building on the success of Vodafone’s talkZoneZero tariffs, this new offer provides customers with a consistent and transparent pricing structure – starting from as little as $36 a month per user. Businesses with five or more users can manage and increase control of their spend at a time when budgets are tight and many businesses are under pressure to reduce costs.

talkZoneZero Plus provides:
• A mobile calling plan for 5+ mobile users
• A single calling account for all your business mobiles
• Unlimited free calls between your business mobiles/calling group
• Flexible plans to suit your business needs: choose to upgrade to include landline and Vodafone mobiles, NZ landlines and mobiles
• Local Number on your Mobile**
• Free access to Voicemail in New Zealand***

Becky Lloyd, General Manager – Business Marketing at Vodafone NZ, comments: “From speaking to businesses on a daily basis about their communication needs, we’ve learnt that complex pricing plans for mobile communications are an unnecessary headache for managers faced with continuing economic pressures.

“Our new talkZoneZero Plus pricing plans offer a transparent pricing structure, total control – and unbeatable value. SMEs know what they’re paying for their business mobiles every month, and don’t need to worry about how they – and the wider team – use their phones. There’s no bill shock as the monthly price is fixed.”

And those businesses taking the New Zealand Zone at $100 a month (on top of their base plan), also get Local Number on a Mobile – which lets their customers reach them on a local number, without the unexpected expense of a mobile call. Armed with both offers, mobility-focussed-businesses can look to reduce or even eliminate fixed lines from their organisations.

Vodafone talkZoneZero Plus is available from 16 June, 2010. For more information about talkZoneZero Plus, talk to your business account manager.
