As far as I'm aware you need to provide your VAT number and Company number in order to register for a company account. Maybe you have a consumer account with a lot of phones and a business price plan?

Thats what i was thinking as well , other wise you do need a vat number to open up a new business account with both o2 or vodafone.

guys im a only user on my account. i have been on time share 500 for over a year but recently moved down to normal plans as i couldnot afford the bills.i have a business name registered but donot have a vat number as never traded.i have never showed any phone company my business name details and was never ever asked. i only showed them passport/driving licence hen i moved from speakeasy to bill.
thats it

So I'd bet you're not on a Company / BUsiness account then.

Anyhows, "yes I am" "no you're not" x 23 :P

nice to see your very grown up and professional in your manner, good luck with your 'business' in future.

drdre

no problem cabaal, its just im asking a simple question, why would ciaranfo me a liar, anyway i got a call from o2 and they have said they can offer me double take offer for 12 months instead of 6.so im going to go ahead with that, just waiting for them to get back to me for with a cool number:D

thanks for ur help guys

You're probably down as what's called a 'sole trader'. This is similar to a personal account. You cn still go on the Sharetime plans and get your trader name on the bills. It is not however a business account.

drdre

well i still have a name of a business account manager and i still call the o2 business line, so thats enough for me:D

If you're looking for call bundles, 3 is usually unbeatable on price. You have to sign up as an individual, they do not allow business names. But that shouldn't be a problem.

drdre

im going to stick with the o2 offer at the moment, thanks guys for your help
