Orange Contract Upgrade- Will they creditcheck me?

peterpan12_2

I have been with a DMP for about 1 year now and before I entered into the plan I had two mobile phone contracts, one with Orange and one with Vodafone, both have been running and all been paid via DD on time and the full amount.

I have had the Vodafone one for about 3 years and the orange 18 months, I am due an upgrade on Orange as of now but have been waiting for the Iphone to be released, now I know that normally you dont get creditchecked when you upgrade (well different people say different things) but I have read that o2 were doing additional checks on customers changing to an Iphone contract.

My question is will Orange run a creditcheck on me to upgrade me to an Iphone, as I will fail this due to my DMP? Is there anyone on here that works for Orange?

My plan was to upgrade on the orange plan and then in 2 months when I can, cancel the Vodafone plan, but what I dont want to do is run the risk of having the account closed as I really need a contract for work.

With Orange my bills have always been £25 a month for the last 12 months.

Can anyone give me any advice on there current way of dealing with upgrades?

I don't remember getting credit checked when I upgraded to iPhone on O2. A poster called Jon01 works for Orange but I don't think anyone will be able to answer this question until the iPhone comes out on Orange.

I dont think so I was bankrupt at the time of mine and still got an upgrade.

You don't get credit checked when you upgrade. As long as any outstanding balances are paid with Orange your fine!
