Vodafone Pulse Connect removes the challenges of managing multiple collaboration and calling tools by bundling together market-leading solutions, such as business-grade broadband, mobile (unlimited calls to UK mobiles and landlines), collaboration (Microsoft 365 Suite), and cloud calling tools, into one complete solution – with just one monthly bill covering all the services.

Vodafone is the only UK network operator to offer customers greater flexibility, allowing them to amend their package as priorities shift without being charged a recovery fee. In any given month, Vodafone Pulse Connect customers can add new users or disconnect up to 20% of mobile and collaboration users [1].

Vodafone Pulse Connect automatically includes best-in-class security features to help protect your employees and data, including Lookout Security for Small Business and Cisco Meraki’s Advanced Security as standard.

To ensure they only pay for what they need, customers can use Vodafone’s simple digital configurator tool to help build their own personalised package. They are also rewarded with discounts and rewards when purchasing additional services – giving them more, for less [3].

V-Hub 'an amazing service for small businesses', say entrepreneurs

Three burgeoning entrepreneurs tell us what V-Hub has done for them, as Vodafone’s guidance service for small and medium-sized businesses marks its first anniversary.

Andrew Stevens, Head of UK Small and Medium Business, Vodafone, said: “With high energy costs and the cost of living rising significantly, the ability to have some level of flexibility with their business solutions has become increasingly important to SMEs who want to be able to quickly adapt to business and economic fluctuations.

“With Vodafone Pulse Connect, we have combined our market leading connectivity, security, collaboration, and cloud calling tools all into one ultimate package to help SMEs focus on what matters most –  being reliably and securely connected to their customers without the complexity. And, with only one monthly bill covering all these services to think about, SMEs can invest their time and resources where they’re needed most.”
