Reply to: iPhone 5s - Business expense ?

I just upgraded to 5s from 5. The reception is crap. The signal is very weak in my house where the 5 was good. How can that be? I have changed network, still with Orange.

You could use your wifi to make internet calls on your mobile whilst at home, thats another option

People make phone calls with these contraptions

What? You haven't stated how you think his IR35 position would be affected.

and you haven't added anything useful again so at least one of us is still true to form today.

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.

Got the 5s and the signal seemed weaker with the new nano sim.
So I put the sim in my old 4s and it was the same... so could be the nano sim's at fault?

P.S I miss my jailbreak

Stupid Apple claiming to invent the waterproof phone. Doesn't everyone know the S4 already had this feature?

It's cheaper to buy the phone up front for £549 and use GiffGaff at £12/month.

If you want to do it over a longer time period, then £170 up front and then an 18 month contract with T-mobile @ £36/month.

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.

Buy the phone outright using your company credit card and ask them to put the company name on the VAT invoice. This is a valid company expense, even if the phone will be used privately.

You can now get a cheap sim-only deal for £10/month. If you get this in the company name and paid for directly from the company account then there are no tax implications and you can claim it against expenses.

If you already have a contract in your own name (rather than the company) then you can continue to use this but you can't claim it on expenses but you can switch to cheap sim only tariff if you are out of contract.

No it's special hardware only in the 5s, and it's guaranteed to be waterproof at least till the next iTunes update

Oh cool! Happy days. Can take it in to the sea to read kindle on it now. Thanks for that!!

I thought just upgrading to iOS7 did that for all Apples?

You've got to get the 5s it's the first waterproof iPhone

You can have a pot noodle while watching porn on it now, and if it gets messy it doesn't matter.

You really need to upgrade, get a business contract through your company and you are good to go

Sorry mods, I know it's a professional forum but this really should be in general.

You can use it in the bath now and if you drop it, it's not a problem

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