London, 23 March, 2010 -
PageOne Communications, the UK’s leading provider of mobile messaging solutions to the education, public and enterprise sectors, today announced that JANET(UK), the UK’s education and research network, has selected PageOne to provide its JANET txt service for a further four years.
Following a rigorous procurement process, PageOne was chosen due to its commercial pedigree, financial credibility and its incomparable commitment to data and information security through its ISO27001 accreditation. PageOne’s resilient infrastructure, and its high levels of technical and customer support were also key considerations.
Attractive low start up costs that allow any school or college to cost effectively set up SMS communications were instrumental in JANET’s decision-making process. In addition to enhanced technology integration, PageOne’s transparent pricing model, lower SMS costs, no set up fees and low recurring charges were also key factors in securing the deal.
Under the new contract educational establishments will not only benefit from a new low message rate of 4p, but also a free upgrade to their standard accounts. The new upgrade includes improved reporting, diary function, as well as support for extended messaging types such as voice broadcast capability, fax and intra-account messaging.
JANET(UK) has partnered with PageOne to provide its JANET txt service since 2007. In this time, the JANET txt suite of products has significantly grown and developed to meet the specific demands of the education sector.
