Give your employees access to big data
packages
Mobile
phones are fast becoming an integral part of our daily lives. 89% of adults in
the UK use a mobile phone*. We are also using the internet more too; weekly
hours of internet use have more than doubled from 9.9 in 2005 to 20.5 in
2015**. Nowadays, mobile phones have evolved and are used for far more than
just calling and texting. Modern smartphones now contain a myriad of functions
that make our lives easier. You can use maps when you get lost, check your work
emails on the move, stream videos on your daily commute and browse your
favourite websites. You could save your employees hundreds on their mobile
phone by providing the Busy Bees Benefits Mobile Phone scheme.
If your
employees regularly conduct the above activities on the go, they may require a
large data package. On the high street, large data packages tend to be very
expensive and incur additional charges for 4G. Subsequently, high street
tariffs prices do change depending on demand and technology; so they can be
volatile. However, our scheme provides a range of large data packages at a
cheaper rate than the high street. Large data packages offer your employees the
scope to use their phone more and it will bring them piece of mind as they know
they will not incur expensive additional data charges.
The scheme provides them with a
brand-new smartphone handset on a choice of excellent 3G and 4G tariffs,
starting from only £22.44 per month for Basic Rate taxpayers and £19.14 for
Higher Rate taxpayers. Each tariff includes no handset charge, unlimited
minutes, unlimited texts, allocated data packages, 24-months handset warranty
and the option to port your existing phone number. The tariff is taken directly
from employees’ wages each month as salary sacrifice, providing them with tax
and National Insurance savings. Your organisation will also save on their
National Insurance contributions.
The salary
sacrifice function ensures your employees gain access to tariffs that are
considerably cheaper than those available on the high street. Our
data packages range from 250MB to 32GB per month to
ensure there is a tariff and data allowance suitable for every lifestyle and
budget. Also, they will save more money on a big data package rather than a
small data package.

Another
benefit of our large data packages is tethering. Tethering is when you use your
mobile phone’s data connection to connect to a laptop or tablet. This facility
is included in our 4G data packages. The increasing popularity of tethering can
be explained by changes in the world of work. More employees now work off-site
or have adopted flexible working hours. Having a tethering package means that
your employees can get online wherever they are and they are not restricted. It
will give them the freedom to work out of the office and ensure that it is easy
for you to stay in contact with them. It is also very convenient as there is no
need to carry any wires or equipment to access tethering. Tethering can also be
a godsend for those employees who travel frequently. Consequently, many high
street contracts will include an additional charge for tethering but we do not.
Your
employees will not need to use unsecure public Wi-Fi connections with our large
data packages. In addition tethering is more secure as information is sent
directly through your phone rather than through an open public connection. Your
employees will be in safe hands with our scheme. We use leading mobile phone
operator, EE, which is the UK’s biggest, fastest network, covering over 80% of
the population with double speed 4G data. For the first time ever, 4G data
usage has surpassed 3G data usage in the UK. EE has become the first European
network to reach the landmark level of 10 million 4G customers.
Provide
your employees with an employee benefit where they can really see the savings.
