A checklist for your company mobile bill

Review active lines, allowances and renewal dates before requesting quotes.

Match lines to people and devices

Check that every billed number has a current owner or purpose. Investigate unused lines before cancelling: an alarm, router or backup device may use little data but still be needed.

Separate recurring and occasional charges

Identify the monthly tariff, handset payments, roaming and out-of-allowance usage. Check whether a one-off charge is distorting the comparison.

Record contract dates

Ask your provider for the minimum-term end date and any early termination charges for each line. Keep the written answers with your comparison.
