    FYI, Mobile phone companies like 3 are not too strict with their credit checks.

    Agreed!

    I managed to get a rolling contract SIM about a year after discharge and after 6 months they were fine to move me onto a normal contract.

    Three are especially un-strict.

    They gave me a Sim-Zero before I was even discharged from my Bankruptcy.

    Well, I managed to get a contract with them @ £15pm for 500mins, loads of texts and 1gb data, went for a refurbed phone which made it cheaper. I'm hoping they report green zeros to CRA as well.
