    Personally i would doubt it. Why would a mobile phone company give a person who is bankrupt credit?

    T-mobile have some priceplans available for people with little to no credit history, Cant send MMS or anything or add internet. Was a sim only too, Maybe worth having a look into.

    Wouldn't PAYG be a more sensible option?
    I'm not quite clear if the OP means, can they start a new contract once made bankrupt, or, what happens to an existing contract if made bankrupt?

    It should be covered in the relevant T&Cs. This isn't a contract for 'credit', but 'service' so won't affect a bankrupt unless specifically covered within the terms of service supply.
