Changing personal mobile phone account to be in the name of my company

[SueEllen]

I've recently moved my EE sim only contract from a personal account into my LTD.

Easy enough - just had to fill out an email and supply supporting document. All done in 7 days

The companies I've heard people have had problems doing that with have been Three and Vodafone.

Did mine with Vodafone. No problems.

Lucky you. I've had to listen to look moan about Vodafone...

I moved my number from personal to business with Vodafone. Transferring the number over was fine. Getting the right monthly amount has run into several conversations and a complaint.

If the Tariff wasn't so cheap, I'd have walked.

I await another bill, before seeing whether another promise of resolution has been fulfilled!

Likewise. Just moved my personal Vodafone to my business account, all went seamless.

However, an erroneous payment has been taken and I've got to wait for the first invoice before they can rectify it! Madness, let's see how quick they can resolve it.

Btw, what's the thinking around adding a second line to the business mobile account for the missus (Company Sec) - is it the done thing or frowned upon? I'd say less than half the mins will be used for business-related.

If your wife is carrying out duties as mentioned in the article above then yes you could. I'm assuming when it says employed a co sec would be included as an officer and doesnt need to be a clear employee.

That said I'd ask if the cost savings are really worth it bearing in mind i suspect your claim that even less than half use is for business is still grossly exagerrated.

The one mobile phone rule for mixed use can apply to every employee and company officer.

It's completely irrelevant how much it's used for business the rule is that one mobile phone can be provided for personal and business use. There is no minimum amount of business use.

Additional phones for an employee must be wholly and exclusively for business purposes.
