      Nope you can get it for less. It depends on what you haggle.

      Last year I was good at haggling - ok I threw my toys out of the pram at the right time - this year I was tulip.

      And you can sell the personal phone to the company immediately.

        I don't think its a question of money, more a case of evidencing you're running a genuine business. How can you say you're running a business if the business does not have a phone number under its name!

          So how many businesses only list a mobile number?

          If you're saying that a business should have a phone number, then it should be a land line, not a mobile. Unless your business takes place in a camper van/chip van.

            Has your company got a website?

            Even I don't really buy in to 'you've got to have a company phone to be a business' and that's kinda one of my catch phrases

              Lots do now actually especially tradesmen. It was also fashionable about 10 years ago not to have a landline number as a business.

                  I know it does and very nice it is too. Just interested to see if contractorbanking has a website if he thinks a business mobile is key to looking like a business. I'm more than prepared for them to say yes and I slink off quietly of course.

                    It does, it just isn't a mobile phone number...

                      For a one off tenner six years ago, mine spells the Co name.
