Switch from Personal to Business Account - not a simple how too....

[Anonymous]

I am 2 months into a personal contract with o2 and have a samsung s3.  I have joined a new company and been given a blackberry on o2.  

I want to have just one phone (the samsung s3) and one phone contract - is this possible?  

Options I'm aware of:

Cancel the personal account (pay 22 months line rental at £36 p/m - no thanks)

Put the business sim card into my samsung S3 - fine but then I'm left still paying my personal contract.

Can I move my personal account over to a business account?  I don't need to keep my personal number.  I've been told you have to wait until you are half way through your term. I called this morning and was told that's not the case (until I got cut off after being on hold for 20 mins).

Has anyone experienced this before.  Once I've moved my personal account over to the business account, I can then re-allocate the business account to some one else or cancel just one handset from our business account.

Unfortunately I believe your stuck paying for your personal account.

Could you speak to your new company and put forward the idea of supplementing your contract? It's what I do for one of my guys. It saves me the extra cost and actually works out cheaper for me.
