One.Tel has today launched two new "bundles", which offer a single price for fixed line, mobile and unmetered broadband services - all from £29.99 per month (NOTE: Free Broadband connection, USB modem and £20 call credit):
One.Tel customers first to enjoy one price for fixed line, mobile and unmetered broadband
For the first time in the UK market, consumers will be able to enjoy one price for fixed line, mobile and unmetered broadband, as One.Tel, has today launched two "bundled" communications packages, bringing together fixed line, broadband and mobile services.
Research commissioned by One.Tel*, revealed that 43% of respondents said that they would be more likely to switch fixed line telephone provider if offered a bundled package of fixed line, broadband and mobile - that equates to over 8 million residential telephone customers.
For a monthly fee of £29.99, One.Tel customers will now be able to enjoy an unmetered full-speed broadband connection and an all-inclusive UK calls package (normally £23.99 and £10.99 respectively). This bundled package means that One.Tel customers can now make an additional saving of £59.88 annually. BT customers on equivalent packages (BT Together option 3 and BT Yahoo! Broadband) can save £144 annually.
Additionally, for a monthly fee of £39.99**. One.Tel is offering a bundled package with fixed line, broadband and an additional mobile component, the One.Plan 60+, which offers 60 free cross-network minutes per month. Respectively, these plans would cost £10.99, £23.99 and £14.99, so the bundled package represents an annual saving of £119.76 for One.Tel customers. By switching to this package, BT customers (on equivalent packages - BT Together option 3, BT Yahoo! Broadband and BT60 mobile) can save an incredible £240 per year.
Ray Leclercq, Deputy Managing Director of One.Tel said: "On one bill, One.Tel are giving customers a great mobile package with 60 cross network minutes per month. We're also offering an uncapped, full speed broadband product and unlimited calls to approximately 20 million UK land-lines. Each of these packages is a superb deal in its own right, but as part of our bundled packages with the significant discounts that delivers to our customers, we're offering unrivalled value. Whilst our competitors are talking about bundling services, we are doing it."
