When using a Portel AV Limited Bundled package which includes a telephone and telephone time Portel expect users not to abuse the system, making unreasonable amounts of phone calls such as would be expected from a tele-canvasser or call centre user. The bundled package is aimed at small traders who usually make phone calls to mobile, local and national phone numbers in the course of their normal business activities. Excessive use will mean outgoing calls are blocked until both parties agree an additional monthly cost for higher usage or where the business concerned agree’s to move from the bundled package onto normal pay & go service as used by our higher use clients. For example a payment could be initially £60.00 + VAT plus Delivery followed by eleven payments of £60.00 including VAT after which the telephone becomes the property of the user. They may continue using the Liberty VoIP service provided by Portel AV Limited by buying pre-paid telephone time from £25.00 + VAT upwards.

19.1 Bundled packages allow phone calls to be made at any time of day to local, national and mobile phone numbers and excludes premium rate and international numbers.
