Mobile Phone Contracts??

Can anyone advise on these?

I currently have a contract with T-Mobile which I use for my business, obvioulsy this is on all my letterhead, business cards and all about the internet on various sites I advertise on.

Will the contract be cancelled when I go BR or is this something we are allowed to keep?

Can I swap it over to pay as you go and keep the number?

Its just something that popped into my head this morning on the train.

Thanks
:)

  • Usually mobile phone companies will let you keep the contract if you haven't missed payments regularly in the past. That's the general trend I've seen as its a common question.

    I'm with T-Mobile and keep upto date and haven't heard a peep from them since going BR last month on the 20th.

    Is the mobile account in your personal name or the business' becasue that may be different but I don't see why it should be.
  • Thanks for that, thats good to know.

    Its in my personal name, didn't think to take it out in business as its only me as a sole trader. Its all up to date and i've never missed a payment so fingers crossed it will be fine.

    Many many members here have sucessfully kept mobile contracts (as long as the monthly bills are not too excessive) while BR without any probs...its if you ever wanted to switch to another provider then you'd have problems

  • I went BR 18/08/08 and applied for a contract with T-mobile in october, to my complete shock it went through!!
