Vodafone has introduced a series of capped plans for business users that it says are aimed at persuading businesses to abandon their fixed lines in favour of mobile phones.
The 'Business Plans with Mobile Office' provide price-capped calls up to a certain value across group members, plus Vodafone Mobile Office which offers:
- no charges for calls between phones in the business group;
- no charge for conference calls with up to six phones within the business group;
- no charge for voicemail retrieval;
- extension dialing - Mobiles in the group can have the same extension as desk landlines.

Businesses on the highest usage plan that sign up for a 24-month contract can get handset credits of up to $5000.

There are four plans charged at $199, $349, $599 and $999 per month plus the Mobile Office charge of $30, $50, $70 and $100 respectively. Included call charges are $700, $1400, $2600 and $5000 and the number of phones that can be included in the plan are 2-4, 2-8, 2-16 and 2-25 respectively.
