Can I claim?

More information
No business is complete without a phone, whether it is desk-based or a mobile. Only business related communications can be set against your income, any private use should be entirely excluded from any bills. As a freelancer you should be able to express the private use percentage or amount to keep track of your business accounts. You can claim each phone expenditure, without its private usage percentage, separately OR you can go instead with the HMRC’s flat rates for using your phone for business use. Flat rates apply a standard value per week for the total “home as office” expenditure including rent and utilities.
