    Default Phone Help.

    So.
    I need to take out a contract phone for work.
    Pay as you go is totally not subtible when when your making shit loads of calls everyday.
    Problem is, I have really bad credit. BAD BAD credit.
    Are there any networks/Companys that dont do credit checks?
    Im looking for a contract with unlimited texts, internet and decent amount of minuates.
    Phone, Blackberry.

    Thanks.
    Wreck your life.

    Erm I don't no much but i took out my first contract and they asked for a deposit from me, that was from 02.
    So maybe they'll offer you that?
    I had put a deposit of £150 that will be credited after 6 months. so that'll pay of my bills for after the 6th month...
    and well if its for work? are your work paying for it? cuz maybe that could be your loop hole to show that your not actually the one that will be paying for it so it don't really matter about the bad credit?

    Find out what is causing defaults, and pay a tiny amount towards it? That's if you have outstanding debt lol. If there's nothing outstanding you should be okay.

    Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4u will do credit checks for every network for you, so you can see which one comes back okay. And then they'll help you choose a phone and give you good deals etc. But that depends on which network is looking for extra/less customers that month. It will vary. O2 is tight.

    PLAN B - there is a twist. You can basically get a sim-only contract for three months with orange that anyone will pass a credit check for. After three months you can upgrade to a contract with a phone considering you have paid the amount on time which will only be like £15, so you go in and can ask for a Blackberry, iPhone etc. And that way you've bypassed the credit check cos they don't do it again.. my friend really wanted a blackberry and that's how she got one. Her credit is REALLLY messed.

    Hope that helped!!
    OooOo. What does this button do?

    All networks do credit checks no matter what happens, its the only way to find out about how well or unwell someone's financial history is..

    Sweetsuga's right about the Plan But if you have THAT bad credit then you WILL fail the credit check and either be declined or have to pay a deposit towards the sim only contract...

    P.S. Sweetsuga you haven't worked for Orange previously have you? didn't do a b ad job of selling the Sim Only there

    OMG De Ja Vu, No! it's INCEPTION!!!

    Simple rule.. TS asks you.. You don't ask TS..

    You could get your parents to take out a contract for you in their name... so it's their contract on paper but you still pay the line rental etc?

    Lol hi there Shelim. My plan is fullproof! Anyone can take out a sim only lol unless you've been bankrupt. Lol, you don't pay deposits towards sim onlys? In fact my friend signed up for this £2.99 insurance thing and got £20 cashback (i.e her first month free) it's a loophole to get a contract
    Thanks thanks *takes a bow* I haven't actually worked for Orange.. yet. I might give them this link for reference though lool.
