T-Mobile - 95% Acceptance

Hi,

Just to let you all know . . .

A lady I was talking to in the mobile phone store a month ago informed me that all "Sim-Only" deals are a 95% Aceptance rate.

Phoned them up and they posted a sim card straight out to me the next day :beer:

£20 a month for 600 mins, Unlimited Texts, Free Internet. 30 day rolling contract

Curious though me getting this will this help improove my terrible credit rating ??:confused:

Thanks,

    Only if you make payments on time ;)

    The U-Fix tariffs were also pretty much guaranteed as they were similar to PAYG although you had a £15 DD each month coming out. I was on that for a year before asking them to change it to a 'normal' tariff. I guess the monthly payments showed I was able to meet regular payments and maybe they dont credit check existing customers once you're on board.

  • Just to let you all know, i been with them for 13 months now and they have given me an iPhone 3GS and im on a tarriff thats £45 a month. so itmust of done something as I have never been able to get a contract phone before, especially one as expensive as th iPhone 3GS :-)

    thanks for this info guys a friend who was having difficulty getting a contract uplied online got a call back from tmobil and guess what he got it was told its in the post so I think tmobil is doing great here cause just imagine how many people out there who cannot.get contracts so tmobil could be in for a winner my mate told he can change tariff after 6 months so wil they credit check again then ? and what other networks offer the same and if someone went into the branch rather than online do you guys reckon its the same acceptance criteria ?

    Generally if you've been a SIMO customer of the network for 3+ months (and have not had any payment issues) you can be accepted onto a normal Pay Monthly contract without a credit check - this goes for at least 3 of the big 5.

    I applied after reading this thread & my credit it poor 2 defaults at my address and 2 at 2 previous addresses.

    They rang me offering £15 deal 350 mins & unlimited texts do you get a statement? and therefore it updates credit reference agencies?.

    Also if I wanted say a internet dongle how long would i have to wait before getting one? 6mths? do they still credit check you if you had a mobile account?

    for £10 per month could be better than cashplus credit builder for sure as you get a service out of it for your money!
