Mobile Phone Network Credit Checks

lynxptc

I have a contract phone with T-Mobile which I signed up for direct with them.

I'm looking at signing up for another line and they have told me I have been approved for another one and that another credit check will not be necessary.

But I want to sign up for one through another company like the Carphone Warehouse or e2save for one of their cashback deals. If I do that will they do another credit check and set up another T-Mobile account for me or will it just go onto the same account?

You will get checked again, and if you are going for a cashback deal you will probably find it more convenient to have a completely separate account (which is what will happen).
