mobile offer

[#1]

I just saw this news: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2015/03/bt-goes-quad-play-and-launches-cheap-uk-consumer-4g-mob...
Will Plusnet offer similiar to this soon for customer who have Plusnet Fibre/Phone to add on Mobile?

[#2]

Nothing I'm aware of at the moment. We operate separately to BT Retail so any packages or services we sell are our own.

[#3]

In this case, I might look again when my contract is fully expire as I do want discount on mobile tariff and also free bt sports. The only provider BT is doing this.

[#4]

In which case, they look like a better provider for your requirements.

[#5]

Nah I stay with Plusnet because they have a better discount in a long contract term than BT. Plus they have UK Call Centre too.

[#6]

Right on!!

So...

You should be able to offer better value mobile deals just like you do on landline and broadband? 

[#8]

If only we could, w23! Unfortunately, we're not equipped for mobile at the moment.

Well, Tesco and Giff-Gaff both operate as Virtual Mobile Network Operators on O2 network, Virgin does similar on Vodaphone (IIRC) all competing with (and often undercutting) the main operators, couldn't Plusnet set up as a VMNO on BT's mobile network?
After all, you have no Broadband infrastructure but manage to provide internet to a fair few customers.

[Edit - bracket moved to make better sense]

Plusmobile would be a great name!  

[#11]

Have you guys not noticed that the billing system already has more than enough challenges?  Surely now would not be the right time to add more?
It is not enough to want to and be technically capable of providing product - by whatever means  It has to be capable of being ordered and billed for proficiently.  If either if these fail, you'll have unhappy customers and no revenue stream, but still have provider's bills to pay.
PlusNET are working on both provisioning and billing system improvements.  Bringing new products to market before they are delivered would be commercial suicide, however that did not stop them up there launching cash back without the means of supporting it! 

[#12]

Like Townman says, we're currently working on improving the services that we already have before looking into other ventures. Better to be the best at dual play than mediocre at quad-play!

[#13]

Plusnet seem to be one of the few companies that get the point made above.
It isn't about making profit but wanting to be better and better!

[#14]

Amen to that. I remember BT's 'support' lines. Not pretty.
