your best bet is a skype phone on 3. they credit check on the handset applied for so your more likely to pass for that phone over any other.
It is better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

if you have a credit or debit card, three will accept you as long as they can take 1.95 out of your account!0

To process a connection online with 3 - they take an admin fee of £1.95.
If you pop into your local 3 store, you can apply for a Skype S2 phone on a 6 month contract. This is available on Mix and Match 300 and 500 (£15p/m and 17p/m). After the 6 months, you can upgrade and choose a better phone, etc.
This particular phone/deal has a credit check pass rate of over 95%.
You need to present a debit or credit card to apply (or paper proofs like passport + driving licence or bank statement, etc).
If you have a debit or credit card (not electron or solo), they will take £1 from your account and refund at the end of the sale (as part of the process of completing a digital signature).
The Skype S2 has a 3.2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, Bluetooth, etc.
You can only try.....0 -

this is what i was trying to say in a lazy way!!! i think you may be best off applying online first if you have the correct card, if not, pop into store.It is better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

I'd ask why a contract phone is even a consideration? The new deal from ASDA Mobile has knocked spots off the competition, especially when the 'inclusive' elements are stripped off.0

I have just moved to London to move in with my girlfriend, at her dad's house. His mortgage doesn't allow any non-family members to be on the electoral role at the property. I have been rejected by T-mobile, orange, o2 AND three for a mobile contract, and I take it this is the reason (not being on the electoral role at my current address). Is there any way round this?0
