3Connect: The Perfect Alternative to Vodafone One Net Express
BY Three Business Blog Team

If you’re a Vodafone Business customer using One Net Express, you were likely contacted by Vodafone in recent months. This was to inform you they are retiring their One Net Express service. That means you need to find a new service. Three offers 3Connect which is a fantastic alternative for One Net Express customers.

What is 3Connect?

3Connect is the ultimate communications platform for small and medium business in Ireland. The service lets you manage and route both landline and mobile numbers through a central system. Have calls to your office appear on mobile. Have calls from your employees’ mobiles appear on customer phones as a call from your office.

This is great for businesses based in an office but also with people working on the road.

From a Funeral Director in Waterford to a school in Donegal, 3Connect has made flexible working possible for the businesses of Ireland.

3Connect vs One Net Express

Both Vodafone’s One Net Express and Three’s 3Connect have been designed to help businesses work smarter. One of the biggest benefits of 3Connect is that it is a VoIP system. One Net Express was dependent on a SIM card and does not offer a desktop or phone app. Vodafone’s One Net Express only allowed for an computer-generated voice. Another nice feature we offer too is the ability to record your own menu messaging.
