Personal mobile and enterprise mobile contracts have little distinction, which can often be a problem. With the constant flux of the enterprise, flexibility needs to be built into the contracts to ensure you are getting what you need, when you need it. If you are able, try and negotiate a more flexible arrangement, where connections and disconnections can be established for a small fee. IF this isn’t possible, be sure that you can move users around easily – for example – if one employee leaves the company, you want to be sure you can easily transfer that person’s device AND contract over to his or her replacement. Also try and work into this deal that the new hire gets a new phone number. It’s not unreasonable to ask and you CAN shop around. You should also let the carrier know you are shopping around – believe me, they want your business.
