OPTUS OFFERS BUSINESSES A PHONE SERVICE WITH NO LINE RENTAL

Optus today announced its new 'Business OptusOne' plan, offering small business customers the option to save money with a plan which combines the business phone with the mobile - including line rental, mobile phone value, local, national and international calls.

Optus Small and Medium Business (SMB) Marketing Director, Stuart Tucker, said Business OptusOne was the first combined business and mobile plan in Australia to include both line rental and calls to international destinations.

"Small businesses can say goodbye to line rental with OptusOne and receive excellent value on their business and mobile phones for one simple monthly fee," Mr Tucker said.

"The Business OptusOne plan offers a smart way for small businesses to manage and plan their monthly phone bills, whilst saving money on their business and mobile services

"They can also choose to bundle an OptusOne plan with OptusNet Broadband or Dial-up to receive additional benefits. Customers who combine the plan with a broadband service will receive four months free broadband access every year and those who bundle with a dial-up service will receive three months free dial-up access every year.

"This offer is a great example of the benefits Optus is delivering small and medium businesses. We bring together a variety of products and offer better value - making life much simpler for them.

"Business customers who take more than one product from Optus are making a real commitment to us - so we want to make a real commitment in return by giving significantly better value," he said.
