Future Telecom launches a shared package employer/employee

Business: When a company team employees in smartphones, personal use of these leads to administrative complications for the employer.

If the BYOD is a strong trend, the classical scheme where a company team employees in mobile devices remain in the majority. However, this feature is often troublesome for the employer.

As recalled by future Telecom, a virtual operator dedicated to SMEs, "personal calls of the employee from a professional mobile line shall be subject to the rules of benefits in kind, which is administratively heavy". These statements also vary depending on the size and the status of the company.

The operator therefore had the idea of launching a "shared" between employer and employees package that allows to bypass these hassles. Specifically, the company is billed the cost of purchase of the terminal and a lump of €29.50 HT per month per line, including dedicated services (free customer service 24/7, a single invoice, commercial Counsellor of proximity).

For its part, the employee enjoys an all unlimited package (3 GB of data, H +) with a phone placed at its disposal by the company for 19 euros TTC per month. "An employee can spend all his calls with the same terminal. For the employee, this offer is one of the best mainstream market offerings (packages of operators low cost does not include the cost of purchase of the terminal) ", explains the MVNO.

This dual approach allows therefore settle once for any question call pro/personal level statements administrative and tax because "the part" of the employee remains fixed whatever happens at 19 euros per month.

Bouygues Telecom wants to introduce the phased payment of smartphones

Upon his arrival on the market, Free Mobile has distanced himself from the traditional model consisting of a subsidy of the mobile - the 4th operator has also, in vain, sued.

With the explosion of without commitment or offers "SIM Only", other operators, mainly through their brands low-cost (Ageumaa435, (b) & You...,) have also had to adopt alternatives such as the payment by instalments of the terminal.

Choice: grant, credit and sprawl

The Subscriber therefore pays a naked package, to which it can add the price of a phone. This option, Bouygues Telecom intends to offer it to consumers in a few months, from the start of September. The operator guests thus spread over 24 months the payment of their smartphone - a possible staging at B & You with 1euro.com.

For the CEO of Bouygues Telecom, this policy change is essential to develop 4G subscriptions that require a compatible smartphone - and so often a renewal.

Holding the sale of mobile to little popular credit from French subscribers, Olivier Roussat promises, with echoes, "to be more transparent", that "the monthly payment of the phone will be clearly separated from the package price.

A customer wishing to purchase an offer to Bouygues Telecom may thus choose between subsidizing, credit and therefore payments averaging.

In 2012, naked terminals in France sales have multiplied by five - mainly with the traditional players in the distribution - to reach 15% of the overall sales of mobile. The timing is therefore an opportunity for operators to retain customers.

Bouygues Telecom lance un nouveau smartphone sous son nom

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
En avril dernier, Bouygues Telecom surprenait en relançant le principe du mobile sous marque opérateur. On avait vu ce type de terminal se multiplier il y a quelques années, notamment du côté d'Orange et donc chez BouyguesTel avec ZTE.

Mais l'approche avait été ensuite plus ou moins abandonnée face à l'hégémonie de fabricants comme Apple et Samsung. Pourtant, Bouygues Telecom estime qu'il y a un coup à jouer, notamment pour démocratiser les usages.

Prix cassés sans rogner les spécifications

"Nous souhaitons permettre à l’ensemble de nos clients d’accéder à toute la richesse des services mobiles, en leur donnant accès à des terminaux de grande qualité à prix réduit. Nous avons une grande ambition pour la gamme de téléphones Bouygues Telecom, qui est appelée à s’élargir et se renouveler régulièrement afin d’accompagner l’évolution des usages de nos clients" expliquait Olivier Roussat, Directeur Général de Bouygues Telecom.

L'objectif est de proposer des terminaux à prix cassé mais dotés de fonctions standards pour un smartphone et également de réduire la dépendance de l'opérateur face à deux ou trois fabricants qui monopolisent plus de 70% du marché...

Ainsi, après le BS 401 et le BS 471, l'opérateur lance le BS 351, selon nos confrères lesMobiles.com. Ce smartphone 3G+ est doté d'un écran TFT de 3,5 pouces, d'un processeur Qualcomm 7225A cadencé à 1 GHz, 512 Mo de RAM, 2 Go de mémoire de stockage, un APN de 3,2 megapixels, le tout sous Android 4.1.

Fidèle au principe, ce terminal est vendu à prix plancher : 109 euros nu ou 9,90 euros avec n'importe quel forfait de l'opérateur. 

Selon nos informations, les terminaux de Bouygues Telecom sont fabriqués par ZTE, Huawei et Alcatel OneTouch.

 

Bouygues Telecom launches a new smartphone under his name

Last April, Bouygues Telecom surprised by reviving the principle of the mobile operator branded. We had seen this type of terminal to multiply a few years ago, especially on the side of Orange and so in BouyguesTel with ZTE.

But the approach had been more or less abandoned facing the hegemony of manufacturers like Apple and Samsung. However, Bouygues Telecom considers it a stab, particularly to democratize uses.

Prices without trimming specifications

"We want to enable all of our customers to access the richness of mobile services, by giving them access to high quality priced terminals reduced. We have a great ambition for the range of phones Bouygues Telecom, which is called upon to expand and renew regularly to accompany the evolution of the use of our customers,"explained Olivier Roussat, Director General of Bouygues Telecom.

The objective is to offer terminals to price broke but with standard functions for a smartphone and also to reduce the dependence of the operator against two or three manufacturers who monopolize more than 70% of the market...

Thus, after 401 BS and BS 471, the operator launched BS 351 according to our colleagues Pz10.com. This smartphone 3 G + is equipped with a TFT screen 3.5 inches, a processor Qualcomm 7225 clocked at 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 2 GB of memory storage, a 3.2 megapixel camera, all under Android 4.1 APN.

Faithful to the principle, this terminal is sold at price floor: 109 naked euros or 9.90 euro with any package of the operator.

According to our information, Bouygues Telecom terminals manufactured by ZTE, Huawei and Alcatel OneTouch.
