    iPhone 5s - Business expense ?

    Ok, I'm looking to buy an iPhone 5s through the business but was wondering if its better to buy the phone outright (e.g unlocked)
    or on Contract (24 month) as I don't know how long my contract will last and I don't want to be tied Into a 2 year contract.

        And what has the length of your current contract have to do with your works phone? You not doing another contract after that? If not you will have to sell it back to yourself.

          You know it's better asking random strangers on an internet forum as they will give you the answer you want.

          The answer to your question Cloudwalker is "Yes".

              Or
              Code:
              IF want_phone AND NOT want_24_month_contract THEN
                buy_phone_without_contract;
              ELSE
                get_contract;
              END IF;

                Define "better".

                What do the other sheep suggest?

                  This thread should really be in "General".

                    I don't think posting a photo of some iPhones makes the question that much clearer.
