Local communications provider KC has launched its first range of bundled phone and broadband services for businesses and consumers in Hull and East Yorkshire. 

The new services come on the back of Ofcom’s recent decision to lift the regulatory controls that have prevented KC from offering customers bundled services in the past.

The decision means people who take one of the new packages of two or more services will benefit from a single bill and enjoy better value for money than if they bought the services separately, with some customers set to save £179.88 per year.

For consumers, KC has introduced bundled services which offer a KC Talk call plan and a Karoo fixed line broadband service, with two bundles also including mobile broadband.

Priced from £29.99 (inc. VAT) per month, they give consumers high-speed broadband with generous monthly download allowances, plus a call plan that includes:

• free local calls
• free calls to national, 0845 and 0870 numbers
• free calls to local directory enquiries (197)
• free landline to mobile minutes
• free caller display and KC Message Minder

 

Customers who choose mobile broadband as part of their bundle will also receive a mobile dongle with a 3Gb monthly usage allowance.

 For businesses, KC’s Office Bundle is priced from £43.50 per month and includes a business phone line and business broadband, plus:

• A SMART number to ensure businesses never miss a call again
• 120 free landline to mobile minutes each month
• A free domain name
• A free wireless router

 

The free mobile minutes included in the Office Bundle mean businesses stand to save more than £120 in call charges each year, as well as benefiting immediately from the £100+ worth of services the bundle includes.

Businesses can also choose to add mobile voice and mobile broadband to their bundles, for maximum flexibility to suit the needs of their business.

Sean Royce, KC’s Commercial and Finance Director said: “Our new bundles offer great value for money for local households and businesses, with the added benefit of a single bill with a single monthly payment.

“Many of our customers will see the monthly charge for their phone and broadband services go down by switching to a bundle.

“Many other customers will also pay less overall for their phone and broadband each month because of the extra free calls, download allowances and other services included as part of the bundles.

“These are the first bundled services we’ve introduced, and we’ll use the feedback we receive from customers about them to help shape future packages we offer.”
