With Vodafone small business you get exactly the same as domestic customers.

I'm on Vodafone Red 20gb/month and I get spotify thrown in for 12 months, DD from company bank account.

So not solely/exclusively for business use - should HMRC look closely you might well fall at this hurdle.

When I will claim the ones which are eligible, I will meeting <mod snip>others</mod snip> in a venue booked specifically for this purpose. Thanks for the heads up.

To be clear. That is not a contract with your business.
Whilst it might be fine for a cursory overview by HMRC, you should not be claiming as a business expense as it is a contract with a person.

Very low risk, but not quite legit.

Yes you are right. My previous accountant told me it was ok to expense my phone bill so I thought its ok.

But definitely i'd be better to have a contract under company name

Vodafone red. 100gb for £20.

Register as customer with personal account. Then change invoice address and direct debit to your business

Three are good for roaming and let you use your data plan abroad but patchy signal in the UK (depends where you are). I have a WiFi dongle on a data plan that is great for holidays as EE want a kidney in fees when roaming.

Live in Selsdon (Off Croydon) and Clients are mostly in London (for UK) and now in Amsterdam and Sharjah. So need something which doesn’t want kidney when roaming (1-2 days per week at least. Next part time contract exploring in Dublin. Thanks

Hi

I am looking for a sim-only deal

Requirements are
- data around 20 GB+ (usual stuff + hotspot may be)
- minutes - higher side so that I can dial into Client calls (I am Risk/Control Specialist so I work as Advisor and my work is mostly talking to Clients and advise them)
- texts - not too much - reasonable (mostly solved by iMessages)
- Roaming (my Clients are in all over Europe and Middle East for the time being) (I also travel a lot for personal - upcoming trips - Central and East Europe, Aus & NZ)

So all I need a recommendation - which sim only to go with? I currently use Vodafone 4G personal and very impressed with 4G strength across London.

Also similar business sim only deals are much expensive than personal deal, what to do?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, newbie, so may be asking stupid and silly questions. Thanks

I would assume that a data SIM is like a phone contract, in that it has to be in the company name to be a valid expense. Hence the reason for the question.

As stated though. I bought the same SIM, for just £42, from Amazon and have the company name on the invoice. Happy days.

I've literally just found the same SIM. Brilliant deal.

I just buy it and expense it

I want a data only SIM for a laptop. Three do a good deal of a 24 month PAYG sim loaded with 24GB of data for £60.

That's pretty good, I buy their 12Gb PAYG DATA SIM, I pay around £28 from a third party supplier

Any ideas?
Or do I just buy it personally?
