Also, if you choose the standard or advanced package you will receive a free broadband USB stick so your employees can benefit from accessing their email on the move. With speeds up to 3.6Mbps you will always be able to communicate with colleagues and staff anywhere anytime!

Call Credits Are More Effective Than Minutes...
At Cortel, we want to give the best value for money to our clients and make your tariff as flexible as possible. That is why we offer a call credit instead of restrictive bundled minutes...
There are many different types of calls a mobile SIM can make, from a standard geographic call to a international roaming premium call. We have listed below some of the major types of calls that are not included with bundled minute plans with different networks.
0845 | 0870 | 0800 | international calls | roamed calls | Premium number | Directory enquires | Data
So What Do Cortel Offer?
Cortel offers a call credit instead against your bill which you can change with 30 days notice. The call credit is simply a discounted £ value against your first calls. So whoever your business is calling, the call credit will discount your calls even further.
