Why choose a corporate cell phone subscription instead of buying one?

Joining a corporate cell phone subscription plan is a strategic decision that benefits companies, regardless of the industry. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the adoption of these plans, driven by the search for more economical and efficient solutions in mobile device management.   

With the subscription service, the customer can choose new or renewed devices (so-called as new orlike new) from major brands, including Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi, to be used for at least 24 months. During this period, a much lower monthly amount is paid than what would be an investment in a new device, which can vary depending on the model and brand.

Cost reduction and logistical ease  

The corporate cell phone subscription significantly contributes to reducing companies' operational costs, as it eliminates large initial investments in devices and provides predictable monthly costs that include maintenance and updates. Additionally, the monthly fee can be fully deducted from Income Tax under the Actual Profit regime.  

Another major advantage is the ease of device management and continuous technical support, relieving companies from logistical and technical complications related to device management. This service also offers greater flexibility in device exchanges and the guarantee of always-updated devices, in addition to being much more sustainable due to the circular logistics that are part of the business model.  

Increased productivity and engagement  

Not only do companies benefit from the subscription plan, but employees do as well. This freedom to choose and exchange devices according to demand increases employee satisfaction, as they have access to more modern devices suited to their needs, along with technical support available at all times, improving productivity and engagement.   

On average, companies replace devices every 24 to 26 months, ensuring that employees always have access to updated technologies without overburdening the budget with frequent purchases.  

Performance and operational efficiency  

In general, companies hire a plan aiming to increase productivity, facilitate internal and external communication, improve the security of corporate data, and provide employees with appropriate tools to perform their duties. In the geographic aspect, metropolitan regions and business centers have the highest concentration of contracted corporate devices, where the demand for efficient communication and device management solutions is greater.  

For this, they usually opt for smartphone models that offer a balance between performance, security, and cost-effectiveness, including brands like Apple, Samsung, and Motorola. Among the most sought-after features are advanced security, long battery life, remote management capability, support for corporate applications, and high durability of the phone.
