Of course. It's like anything else...you're only buying a product. You will however be subject to another credit search for this, so as long as you're happy, then no problem.

Its no problem. I have two contract phones for over 7 years now.

there can be limits to how many phones you can hold on one account but two should be fine, so long as the credit check is approved. After a certain amount they start to think you are a business!!

Hope you have fun looking for a phone!!

If your daughter wonts it on another network different to the one,s you and your partner are on ,one of you will need to have another credit check and provide usual proof.But its not a prob because you have contract elsewhere.

It would however be normaly more easier to add a phone to an existing account,as the system/network will normally be able to tell provider if your good for another dog and bone straight away without a check.

might also be worth mentioning that you might get a better deal (cashback) online at a provider like cpw/e2save/osps.

I got a 2nd contract for my teenager. £25 per month with so many free minutes and texts. 'Yes Dad, I won't use more than that!' D'oh, big mistake, first month bill was £60 and the second was £40. £rd month due any day now and should be around the £25 mark coz I was going mental at him.

Make sure your teenager knows the limits!

if you get an additional user on ur orange you can make a your group (there are quite a few t+cs tho) and get free calls between u and your daughter no out of your allowence,

you need to be on one of the new tarrifs tho
