Some of the third party dealers can be pretty easy...

well for what it's worth, I applied to 3 a couple of years ago with a terrible credit rating and they accepted.

when I was looking to leave them, I applied to Orange and I thought i'd been rejected, so I went to T-Mobile who accepted me on a sim-only deal.

Then, Orange emailed me a day later to say i'd been accepted on a full contract and i've been with them ever since.

I believe if you use PAYG on orange for 3 months they often accept you on a low value contract with little hassle.

SIM only would seem to be the way as they are not risking a phone.

I've heard that about Orange but also about 3 as well. It works overseas with non UK network providers so I don't see why not.

However, if you want a top of the range £500 phone, your credit score will come back to haunt you every time.

If you get a sim only with Orange (pass rate around 90%) and pay three direct debits on time you are able to upgrade to a full contract. I'm not sure about other 3rd party companies but this is definately the case with p4u.

Hope that helps

I would agree with the above about Orange. Generally I would say they are the easiest company to get a contract with, and personally I think they have the best Customer Service!
