With hybrid working now embedded, mobile connectivity is more critical than ever — and mobile costs are under increasing scrutiny.

We’re seeing a clear shift across the businesses we support: leaders are actively reviewing their mobile estate in 2025, not just rolling over old plans.

Here’s why — and how you can approach it in your business.

1️⃣ Mobile costs are rising — but so are expectations

Annual CPI-linked price increases, combined with evolving usage patterns, are driving many businesses to seek better value on mobile. Employees expect fast, reliable data wherever they work — but that doesn’t mean you should be overpaying for it.

2️⃣ The workforce is more mobile — and more diverse

From field-based teams to hybrid HQ staff, there’s no longer a one-size-fits-all model for mobile. Segmenting users and providing the right plan for each profile is now key — and often overlooked.

3️⃣ Contract flexibility still matters — but smart deals drive decisions

With economic uncertainty and changing workforce needs, businesses want the right balance between flexibility and value.
That’s why many are choosing shorter 12-month options, or locking in exceptional long-term deals when the timing is right.

4️⃣ SIM-only adoption is accelerating

We’re seeing a marked shift toward SIM-only plans as businesses sweat their existing handset assets and seek more agile mobile strategies. SIM-only offers flexibility, cost control and simplicity — and is now the go-to option for many of our clients.

Final thought

In 2025, mobile isn’t just an overhead — it’s a strategic enabler.
Taking time to review your mobile plans now can drive real savings and greater agility. And with SIM-only adoption growing fast, it’s worth exploring what’s available — especially during limited-time windows.
