A recent poll has revealed that nearly 90% of business people would choose a business mobile phone over a landline as their preferred method of communication.
Mobile telephony company GoHello carried out the poll, speaking to over 200 workers in London. Over half of respondents also found their business mobile the easiest handset to use. This displays a clear move away from the desktop phone. According to e-zine, the ITportal.com, ‘this makes good business sense to allow employees to use just one phone in and out the office.’
But it seems the business landline won’t be totally obsolete - 73 per cent of respondents still claimed that they would be hesitant to totally dispose of their office desk phone just yet. However, if they had to choose between the two, the mobile phone would emerge triumphant.
Skype and other VoIP systems barely registered in the poll (just one per cent chose it as their favourite and no one thought it was easier to use than their mobile or desk phone).
A quarter of respondents would love to throw their office phone in the bin and use their mobile exclusively – more evidence that the mobile is a clear favourite among employees who would prefer have a business mobile contract, and use their mobile in the office over and above all other phones.
