There has been a rise in demand for SIM-only contracts in the car industry but what is driving this demand?

The industry

It has been widely published that new car sales have risen at their fastest rate for nine years, which seems to indicate that car dealerships selling new cars are enjoying a bit of a boom, so why the switch to SIM-only contracts?

No need for new handsets

Well one reason is that the sales staff have already treated themselves to the latest iPhone so are no longer pushing for the latest models from the office.

New suppliers offering better deals and a better service

The office managers responsible for sourcing the best mobile contracts have recently seen new entrants to the business mobile market. They are no longer limited to offerings from the major mobile operators and they have been inundated with offers from their telecommunications and IT suppliers, offering not just great deals but a reliable and trusted service too. As the person also responsible for calling the network operator when there is a problem they are well aware of the hoops needed to jump through to get what they need when they need it by.

We are seeing car dealerships turn to their IT Support or business telecommunications contact who can:

• Quote for business SIM only contracts from £9.50 a month with inclusive minutes, texts and data
• Put each staff member on a monthly contract 
• Advise on the best deal for each team member and sort out new contracts and cancellations face to face, via a direct dial or personal email address
