According to the latest report by ‘billmonitor’, created and run by Oxford University mathematicians, UK Mobile users are wasting £4.9bn a year on the wrong mobile tariff!

At Pink Connect, we have always said that 82% of business mobile customers are on the wrong tariff. Billmonitor says this percentage is 76% for all mobile customers.  Since it doesn’t take data and text into consideration this figure could have been higher!

Due to fear of going above the allowance offered in their tariffs (named as “bill shock”), customers typically bought FOUR times more talk time that they actually used.

The report claims that if everyone used the right tariff, the UK could stop wasting £4.9bn a year that is being spent on wrong tariffs. The task of choosing right tariff is difficult as there are over 8m contract permutations available to mobile customers!

Peter Weeks of Metaphor Consulting said, “I work from home and my mobile was getting poor reception so I asked Andy Moore of Pink Connect to help.  Andy did the research and he recommended a new package better suited to my needs on a different network. Changing networks isn’t a big thing but there are still some hoops you have to jump through. Andy was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, it all went through easily and my new package is cost-effective.  I’d recommend Andy for telephone questions every time.”

So the last thing you want to do is plug accessories into them that’ll leave wires trailing everywhere, getting tangled up and generally getting in the way. This is especially true of headphones, which have an uncanny knack of writhing away in your pocket whilst your not using them, so that when you pull them out to listen to some tunes on the train, you’ve first got to spend half an hour teasing them out of the knotted mess they’ve become. Until, that is,  the advent of stereo Bluetooth. With a stereo Bluetooth enabled set of wireless headphones, like the new Jabra Halo, you can kiss goodbye to your corded-conundrums and get straight to the stereo quality music. Order yours from Pink Connect today, or take advantage of our August offer and get a free pair with your new business connection.*

Smartphones are on the rise and with them the need for accessories. Those huge, bright touhscreens can do some serious damage to battery life, as can using your Android as a WiFi hotspot, so additional batteries and innovative charging solutions are a must. You’ll also want to protect the display from the ravages of the keys in your pocket, or from scraping along the ground when you drop it, making cases and screen protectors invaluable. Smartphones are effectively miniature PCs,  but the moment you stick one to the side of your head to take a call, all that added functionality counts for nothing. Use a Bluetooth headset, though,  and you’ll still be able to refer to emails and search postcodes whilst you talk. Samsung’s new HM3100 is designed to complement the Galaxy S in terms style and features, but, thanks to built-in noise reduction / cancellation, and automatic volume control which adjusts for background noise and / or signal strength, it’ll give you excellent voice quality whichever handset you pair it to – which is easier than ever thanks to Active Pairing. Multipoint means that it’ll pair to two phones simultaneously (there’s a joke in that somewhere…), and usability is excellent with dedicated battery level indicator and power switch.
