T-Mobile Business Plan

1. Introduction

T-Mobile’s business plan is a set of solutions for businesses, as opposed to the typical consumer T-Mobile offers. The plan offers an introduction, “pool” rate plans, and most of the popular T-Mobile features covered in a way that is not only useful for business, but depreciates the cost. Business plan is offered in a host of different rate structures. But the best part is you have options. This is not a case of one size fits all. You can mix and match between either regionally based rate or volume rate pricing. With options for integrated service, unlimited calling between plan members and free night and weekend minutes it’s just what you need to keep your business running while saving money in the process. Best of all, you can do everything online! This is all centered around various sizes of businesses and the best pricing available for each one. Too often you find that there company only has one option for a business plan and it does not fully satisfy the needs of the business at hand. T-Mobile avoids this mistake and offers the best path of solutions for its business customers. Solutions and built-in competitive pricing is the easiest way to summarize the business rate plan. Slightly different from the rate plans, the T-Mobile solutions are centered around lumping several different features together to form package deals that are at a lower cost. These can be mixed and matched and have no specific term agreement which makes it great for small to mid-size businesses that are uncertain of future business growth. These packages are designed to be a low-cost way to get features that are most commonly used by businesses. An additional plus is that many of the features (i.e. Wi-Fi calling, underlying BlackBerry services) run off the standard rate plan and are available at no extra cost for businesses who subscribe to these services. Overall, T-Mobile business plan is a wonderful solution for business customers who want to save money and get the best options to satisfy their communication needs.

2. Benefits of T-Mobile Business Plan

Lower telecommunications costs T-Mobile’s simple pricing structure and low-end cost for its one-size-fits-all plan set it apart from the competition. A single user will pay $40 per month, while a group of 20 users will only pay $36 per line. When provided with an estimated price from a competitor, we discovered that for a group of 10 users T-Mobile would save us around $800 per year. This is what T-Mobile emphasizes as the “Uncarrier” difference. With no service contracts and the promise of a locked-in rate. This means that regardless of how much data employees end up using this year, you won’t be charged more next year. Specifically mentioned was the simplicity of international pricing. With data and texting free in over 120 countries, and simple flat-rate calling at $0.20 per minute. This also includes free in-flight texting and an hour of free smartphone Wi-Fi on all Gogo-equipped domestic flights. High data-cap definition Whereas many popular carriers throttle data once a predetermined 4G LTE limit has been reached, T-Mobile simply lowers network priority after you exceed the cap. For unlimited data this cap is set at 28GB, which is very high compared to other carriers. This means that in cases of network congestion your data will be slower, but you won’t be charged any overage fees. Understanding that modern businesses rely heavily on cloud-based services, this is a very important feature. The alternative is a charge of $15 per GB from the big red carrier, which could culminate in a very hefty fee at the end of the month. Continued simplification of billing is seen in the fact that T-Mobile now includes taxes and fees in the plan price. Through a third-party analysis it was estimated that this could save customers 20% off their typical monthly bills.

4. Pricing Options

There are a variety of pricing options to choose from based on your team’s size and talk and data needs. All plans include free mobile to mobile calling, free nights and weekends, no domestic long distance, no roaming, and no activation. The main difference between plans is the amount of included anytime allowance minutes and the price. Anytime allowance minutes can be used for calls to people or groups inside or outside your company, or for calls to 411, T-Mobile 6-1-1, or care center. Staff and data usage fees are included in the anytime allowance minutes price and are billed at the T-Mobile services rate, which is 35 cents per minute. Staff and data usage fees are time spent on calls to people inside or outside your company, or voicemail, and incoming/outgoing TXT messaging and T-Mobile wireless internet. Staff and data rates per minute for calls are the same no matter if the call is local, national, or roaming. If all of this seems confusing, don’t worry; all of this will be explained further as we look at individual plans. Keep in mind that these prices and included minutes apply to new and existing customers. However, for the customers that were “grandfathered” into older T-Mobile business plans, different prices and included minutes will still apply.

5. Conclusion

Overall, the business plan has shown that there is a large potential for profitability and success. The counter-entrepreneur trend is quickly increasing and this is the time to continue to push and innovate. Market trends are showing a lower demand for traditional phone lines and specifically states that WiFi and mobile phones are some of the highest consumer demands in 2018. The same trend analysis stresses that the needs and demands of small businesses are rarely met and many small businesses feel that their wants and needs are overshadowed by the consumer and enterprise groups. Given these few points and the potential for long-term success with the right innovation, it would be illogical for T-Mobile to not look into re-entering the wired category after it has been abandoned years ago. This will open a whole new market segment that T-Mobile has yet to explore. Now to decide if it is beneficial to move forward with implementing the business plan, we must weigh the potential profits and compare it to the cost of investment. According to projected revenues vs. project expenses, the plan will turn a moderate profit in the first year and jump up to a substantial profit (defined as 2-4 billion USD) by the end of the second year. This may be considered a slow start for a large company, but it is crucial as T-Mobile will be facing many new concepts and unestablished markets for the first time. This would be considered a calculated risk and should not be a deterrent for success. By looking at all quantitative and qualitative data, there is no doubt that this business plan will bring T-Mobile to the next level in terms of both success and innovation.
