    They will do a credit check.
    Are you on the electoral roll? That helps.
    My parents are on a DMP though, credit history shot to pieces. My mum has a contract for my brother and my dad has mine (this is with 3 network) so it is possible.

    Good luck

    Indeed they do.

    Happen to have sims-only, and looked through the record the other day.
