Mobiles 'vital' for small businesses
Posted by peopleperhour.com - 26/06/2008 09:00
Research from the RadioFrame Networks has found that mobile phones are vital to small business owners.

The survey also found that many bosses are now using their phones for a variety of purposes including email, instant messaging and internet browsing.

Author of the report, Rob Bamforth said: "The mobile phone has become the hub of business communications activity, and a vital link for the [SME] workforce.

"Contact numbers and address books in the handset mean that it is very often the default instrument for making calls, in or out of the workplace."

He added that lack of coverage is often a "frustration" to small businesses.

The research showed that more than a third of SMEs have had problems with their mobile networks at work, but many still use it over a fixed phone even if there is one at their desk.

Mark Keenan, a general manager at RadioFrame Networks said that the most important thing for a company was that its mobile phone has "good quality voice services".
