    Hi

    I need to get a new phone for business use.
    Would it be better to get a business account or should i just get one on personal terms and conditions.
    Im currently with o2 speakeasy,who would be the cheapest or offering the best deals,as far as i can see maybe o2 clear?

    Any advice would be great,thanks.

    I had a look at this about six months back and to be honest, if you are only looking for one or two phones, it is just as cheap to get a private contract. the business rates look cheaper, but they don't include VAT.

    I also decided there wasn't a lot in it, so i went with meteor because the Vodafone and O2 signal is rubbish in my house. I also went for the meteor Mail which seemed a cheaper option than a Blackberry.

    It may have all changed now, but that was my decision anyway. I did end up thinking that they were all much of a muchness though.

    Its just one phone for myself.I missed the vat,sneaky :rolleyes:
    I suppose i should just go for the cheapest network then?
    I don't know if there are any other advantages of getting a business account over a personal one!

    I couldn't see any, there may be better customer care, or maybe a different billing set up, but it all looked pretty much like a personal contract to me.

    it was also harder to set up a business account, they want more information than for a private one.

    I just claim my bill back on expenses and claim the VAT back through the company (So it still saves me money :))
