Doha: Ooredoo yesterday launched a new feature for their Business Group service. The new ‘Family Option’ enables business to monitor and limit the costs of personal calls made from company mobile phones, helping reduce costs and increase flexibility.
The Family Option was developed after discussions with local businesses revealed that managing personal calls on mobiles — and distinguishing between work and home calls — was placing a strain of company resources, and often led to unnecessary disputes with leading employees. The strain was particularly challenging for small and medium businesses, which require employees to be available on their mobile around the clock.
With the management control provided by Business Group, Ooredoo was able to offer a service to resolve this long-running management issues for its customers.
Ooredoo designed the new Business Group Family Option to enable companies to combine employees’ work and personal numbers on one mobile for just QR25/month per line.
This innovative means businesses no longer have to worry about the expense of company mobiles being used for personal calls. Personal calls by employees can be centrally-tracked, and the costs allocated accordingly in split bills for the employer and the individual.
As an added bonus, employees can take advantage of the fantastic rates provided for calls within Business Group, creating a win-win for both employer and employee.
Business Group enables companies to create Closed User Groups, so that all employees’ phones can be managed as a single account, even with hundreds of different mobile numbers.
With the new plan, companies can get more talk minutes than ever before to use within the group. Business Group Family customers get unlimited minutes for each employee to stay connected around the clock.
