14 DAY TRIAL // Today, mobile phone carrier Orange UK announced plans to refresh its BlackBerry lineup for business customers, offering secure email access to more businesses, regardless their size. The new BlackBerry plans put in place at Orange should enable customers choose the option that fits them best based on cost, security and access to support. Moreover, the carrier notes that all of the new plans are meant to offer businesses the possibility to provide their employees with access to email, calendar and application while on the go, so as to help them remain productive at all times.
Orange's portfolio now includes the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) from £6.38 per month, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BES Express) at costs starting from £15 per month, and BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES). The carrier says that the full BES solution is capable of offering enhanced security levels to customers, as well as a full suite of BlackBerry monitoring services, yet those interested in a more affordable solution can chose the BES Express plans, which deliver the same technical support from Orange.
“Customers won’t have to worry about implementation charges or complicated set-ups, as the technical support includes IT administrator and help desk training, managed operation support and all the latest BlackBerry network updates. For those businesses with workers out on the road, Over-the-Air email activation of users is also available,” the wireless services provider announced. Additional details on the new BlackBerry options from Orange are available here.
UK mobile phone users willing to purchase a BlackBerry device from Orange won't benefit only from the BlackBerry plans and pricing, but also from built-in UMA technology meant to enhanced their signal. This solution is meant to ensure businesses that their employees will enjoy a reliable connection at all times. Moreover, BlackBerry smartphones from Orange come with Personal Line, a service that enables one device to have two separate phone lines, a great option for those interested in staying in touch with both their personal and work lives.
“We’re always striving to make the lives of our business customers easier, offering greater flexibility and value for money. Businesses of all sizes need to be flexible and can’t afford for staff to lose time through travel or a weak connection. These new plans are the ideal solution for all types of business. Smaller customers can now have an affordable solution to help them enable mobile working, while larger businesses can offer field or flexible workers secure access to emails, calendars and applications, with full technical support from Orange,” said Anthony Keyworth, director of Business Products for Orange UK.
