Mobile Phone Contracts

mummybear3

Hi, hope someone can give me some advice.

My brother is in the Army - currently posted in Germany and his son goes to college in England. He has been trying to set up a phone contract for his son but has been declined twice because he has a BFPO address. He has an excellent credit rating but cant get a contract set up without a UK billing address.

Has anyone any tips or can suggest companies that accept BFPO addresses?

Thanks m

Tell him to try using the following address for the contract:

His Name
His Unit
BFPO XXXX
BFPO London
West End Road
Ruislip
Middlesex
HA4 6DQ

Is he trying to do it online?
Tell him to phone up, a lot of the time the people on the phone can enter the address even if the website wont accept it...

Use your address?

I used my parent's address for many years when I was in Germany but single.

All sugestions above are good, why not use the address his son lives at or any UK based relative

Presumably sim-free handset & sim only payg combination has been ruled out?

International calls would eat your credit alive in nano-seconds.

VOIP compatible handset - Simples ;-)

use the postcode NW7 1PX rather than BFPO XX and the rest of address as usual
is what i found via a google search

sorry to state the obvious but should he not just get it in his own name? - why send a bill to dad when you can knuckle down and pay it yourself?

Don't think name is the issue - it is all about address.
