I read on here on another thread that t-mobile tend to be more lenient if a person has not good credit. This has been repeated elswhere on the internet.

I decided to opt for an htc desire with tmobile - but was declined

i then for a laugh thought i would apply for a same phone and tarrif with orange thinking i would be declined again - but in fact i have been accepeted through orange and the phone is coming next week.:T

    KB did you apply direct or via a third party?

    well i went via dialaphone and got accepted

    i went through mobilphones.net for the tmobile originally and got declined

    dialaphone came back within 15 mins of making online application and said credit check had passed

    also went through topcashback to get £35 cashback. they are more liekly to pay up rather than quidco i find nowadays.

    3 i have read have been quite strict credit apps- my friend applied to 3 and he got declined but he went to tmobiole and got accepted

    I heard 3 are pretty lax - I have multiple defaults and they accepted me without a murmur! Phone was rubbsih though so I went SIM-only with Vodafone.
