The social enterprise package

O2 is proud to have launched a new package of support specifically designed for the UK’s social enterprises, available by calling 0800 7816602.

The package, which has been created in response to a 2010 consultation of over 200 industry leaders, social enterprises and entrepreneurs, includes financial benefits such as free mobile broadband as well as devices and accessories to support this burgeoning sector.

Having launched the consultation in May, the respondents identified three key areas where O2 could best support the sector: raising awareness of the sector, using the business’s marketing channels to promote enterprises and providing attractive mobile and broadband packages together with technical support. Having listened, we responded with a package that includes:

• One month free line rental

• Free mobile broadband for three months

• Bill credits for each successful customer referral

• A Bluetooth headset with selected sustainable devices

We're the first network in the UK to share information about the social and environmental impact of the products we sell, to help customers make the right decisions for them. The range of sustainable handsets available in the social enterprise package are listed below, along with their eco rating out of 5.

• Sony Ericsson Elm™ - 4.3

• Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro - 4

• Samsung Wave - 4

• Samsung Monte - 3.9

• Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ Pro - 3.9

• Sony Ericsson X10 mini - 3.9
