Sun Lotion? Passport? ...Mobile?
We’ve all been there, landing back in the UK with the nagging worry over how big a bill we have clocked up whilst out of the country. Just how much did that email cost me to receive? How long was that call? Or did I download that 5MB file twice?
There has been so much negative press and scaremongering surrounding data usage whilst abroad and it is easy to see why. Unlike calls, it is difficult to quantify exactly how much a 3 line email has just cost you to send – too many using data abroad is still a mystery. This is exactly why many people actually switch off data roaming the minute they leave the UK. This is fine but it does leave you or your employees uncontactable. Over the last 3 years data usage has soared; from checking social media to sending BBM’s we are now using our data functions more than our call packages. So why should this grind to a halt simply because we leave the UK?
Thankfully O2 have recognised this and launched the O2 Travel service, just in time for the holiday season. O2 Business have stripped away all of the confusion and need to select bolt ons. O2 Travel is a simple opt in service (available via Aerial – contact us here) which offer a whopping 25MB per day for £1.66. This is a huge allowance and we believe under 1% of O2 business users would ever exceed this in a day.
So what could you do with 25MB per day? Here is a quick Aerial guide to the services you could use:
- Spend 24 hours using Instant Messaging
- Send over 2500 standard (no images) emails
- Download 25 standard photos
- Enjoy 4-8 continuous hours of web browsing
- Download 1 movie trailer
Not bad for £1.66! Call your account manager today or our sales team on 02392 737 513 to opt in to O2 travel. O2 Travel is a free to sign up to service available from Aerial Business Communications.
The other big news is that O2 customers will also benefit when making calls when opting in to O2 Travel. For the first time O2 will allow you to use you bundle of minutes whilst abroad. The process is simple – there is a one off connection charge of 42p then the rest of the call is simply subtracted from your monthly minute allowance.
