Will Business Tarriff be Cheaper than Personal? I am being pestered by cold callers

infocom

Hi

I am a director of my own business, but have my phone under my personal contract not work. Just never got round to looking into a business one.

I have had a few cold calls from companies who claim I can get cheaper mobile tarriffs if I moved to them from Vodafone, because it will be a business phone and I am a Director.

This sounds dodgy to me, I dont believe companies sell things cheaper to business than domestic, usually everyone charges business more for things because they think we have more money.

So I wondered if anyone knows about this, can I get better deals on a business line, is it a catch. I never just sign up to people who call me, as I know nothing about them.


P.S. As a side issue, this non-Vodafone company knew who I was, my number and the amount I was paying, they got the info from Vodafone, isn't that in breach of privacy laws or something, I am unbelievably annoyed a 3rd party can get this info.

Thanks

Business tariff are quoted VAT-free,and billed accordingly. Beware of apples and pears comparisons.

Vodafone don't usually give out details to 3rd parties unless they are outsourcing their renewals to a call centre.

No real benefit to business unless you have a number of handsets where you can share minutes over them.

As GD say, business acc are always quoted ex vat (as valid business can calm it back).

Also, the T&C's aren't the same for business acc's as they are for domestic acc.

So unless you are a vat registered business keep well away. . .
