Benefits of Bell Mobility corporate vs Small business?
Hi all,
We've been with Bell at my work for several years, on a corporate cell phone plan. We at one point had 30+ lines but we're down to around 15 now.
Our 3yr contract is coming up for renewal, and Bell has offered us a $45 BYOD plan with 25GB per user, pooled, or $60 if user is getting a new phone. This is a CAN/US/MEX plan.
This would meet our needs and the pricing is basically a wash with our current plan (some users are 10GB Canada only, which will increase in price $10, some users are 10 or 20GB Can/US users, who would drop.
Looking at Bell small business plans, it looks like we'd save a bit of money, and have a lot more data, if we were to switch to that, instead of corporate. For the same $45 BYOD, it's 100GB, but only in Can/US, not Mexico. I don't care about this is as we don't operate in Mexico at all. This same plan is $55 if you are getting a device. The pricing notes this is for Bell business internet clients, and as we have a 500Mbps fiber connection through Bell, I believe this would apply.
Can someone tell me what benefits the corporate plan has over the small business? I've not dealt with small business plans in many years. Do small business plans still have centralized billing, so the company gets the bills and pays them, rather than direct to the end user?
Is device ownership different? On corporate we usually get a "free" phone on a 3yr term, so the bill is $15/month higher during the term but you own it outright at the end. With Small biz being 24 months, and only a $10 difference, is this the same idea or will you have a device balance left after the 24 months?
Thanks in advance!
