Why are personal phone contracts a lot cheaper than business

[Chasingmytail]

Im stuck now got 4 phones on 02 business with contracts ending from next summer onwards however, everyone I know seems to be paying a lot cheaper than any business deal I can get. Family are always telling me they are paying £10pm SIM only while Im paying £15 + VAT.

Is it better to change all phones over to personal contracts next? Still put them through the business?

Phone companies rely on user laziness....

Call customer service and ask the question, they will soon move you to a better deal IME.

However, I always use SIM only contracts.... Much better options all round that way

Unfortunately, like so many things now you've got to keep them on their toes with constant threats to leave. SIM only is an appealing option if you can keep your phone in good nick. We've got about 5 contracts and generally rely on new phones arriving every few months to cover breakages!

I used to get the choice of new phones or several hundred quid back. Moved to sim only now as I can't be bothered with the hassle.

Sim only contract here & buy phone seperatly. As long as I can avoid dropping the phone through the slats for at least 18 months I`m better off
