BT or British Telecom – is one of the best known companies in the UK. But they don’t just provide telephone services. They now also provide BT Broadband Dongle, and if you are looking to get online when you are out and about you might want to look closer at what they have to offer.
BT recognises that people will have the need to go online in a business capacity as well as a personal capacity. This means you can indeed sign up to a business contract as well as a personal one if you have the need to do so.
The main thing to be aware of is that you will need to look at the different contracts for both business and personal use as they are likely to be quite different. This applies to many providers as well.
Do you need to be a customer of BT to get a good deal from them?
It certainly helps if you are! You can see why when you realise that they offer their existing customers free mobile broadband. All you have to do is pay a one off fee – currently £39.99 – and you can get online without the need to pay anything or even sign a contract.
Needless to say this is a superb deal if you are already a BT customer. It means you don’t have to look for a specific mobile broadband offer to enable you to go online while you are out and about.
What if you aren’t a customer?
You can still take advantage of the deal but it will be on slightly different terms. Instead of paying a one of £39.99 it will be £59.99 for a one off cost. In addition to this you still benefit from having no contract to pay. The dongle works on a Pay As You Go deal.
For existing customers there is a full 1Gb free to use every month, so you can see it does pay to go with BT if you can.
What happens if you go over the 1Gb?
You won’t lose your service for the rest of the month if you do, so that is good news. You will just have to pay an additional fee for the extra amount you go over by.
This means you can always be online when and where you want to be, thanks to the way the BT mobile broadband deal is worked out. What’s more, the additional charges are clearly displayed on their website. This means you will always know what the extra charges will be before you go over your free 1Gb per month.
BT has always been a provider of telephone services, but now they have shown they are capable of providing broadband and other dedicated services as well. If you want to get online free of charge while you are away from home this could be the best way to do it.
