Any contract phone could be a problem but if you don't apply you'll never find out I guess... You might want to check with your DMP provider however if applying for a mobile contract is seen as getting further credit and therefor even though it's cheaper might go against your agreement with them meaning they may reject the DMP - not the end of the world as you could self manage it...DFW Nerd #025DFW no more!

I'm have a horrific credit rating and i got a 35 a month contract with t mobile. they have certain restrictions on it like i have a credit limit, and have to pay a deposit to use it abroad but its not much hassle. as long as you dont owe any money to any other mobile providers you might be ok0

You are doing right looking at the sim only tariffs, I am personally on one with O2 for £10 a month with 1 months notice and this covers all my usage.
As said above, give it a try.Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017

hi just thought i would let you know that tesco do a pay as you go sim card for around £2.50.
Whatever you top up they triple it we top up £15 per month so get £45credit.
The calls and texts are cheap too.0 -
Hi no money
Getting the best deal you can and a good service at the same time is important.
If you'd like me to take a look at your account to see if I can make it any better value for you, send me an email from here with a link to this thread and your username. Make sure when you send the email that you include the code WRT135 in the subject line so it comes straight to my team.
I'll do all I can to help.
All the best

what is it you need the mobile for most
calls
text
internet browsing?
if calls go on a sim only deal as you can get good deals there
if texts go on o2 pay as you go £10- a month gets you unlimited txts
if internet browsing o2 pay as you go again if you top up £15- you get unlimited texts and unlimited internet browsing.
hope that helps0 -
Strange, I was with vodafone & when my contract was up they offered me a new one & dropped the old one to less than £15 in vat. 300min / unlim txt.
Pay & go offers dont seem as good as some rivals though.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
Make sure you get any deals in writing from vodafone, the telephone sales team have a bad habit of offering deals but fail to mention they do not last the length of the contract. £40 1/2 price down to £20... *cough* but only for 18 off the 24 months..... *cough*. Its well documented on the mobile forums. Get it all in writing.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
