Anyone got a mobiel contract after BR?

fairihell

We were discharged in April and was wondering if anyone had had any luck getting a mobiel phone contract?
thanks again for your help

You will find it almost impossible to get a monthly contract for at least a few years yet.

What happens if you're on a contract when you go BR - does it get terminated? Or can you continue - oh gosh, does that mean I'm stuck on 3 forever!!!

I kept my Orange contract through my BR and a lot of others on here have kept their mobile contracts too. No need to tell them - they won't mind as long as they're getting paid.

Wrong.

I got an iPhone 3GS on contract 3 months after discharge.

Had to pay a £100 deposit to 02, which is refunded after 3 months.

It may be down to whom does the credit check, it may be harder via a multi network store seller rather than the actual network store.

I have been turned down by CPW/phones 4u but accepted by o2 (with a deposit) and 3 (no deposit) whilst on a dmp in the past.

problem is as well..NO consistency what one person manages to get isnt always a guarantee someone else will

took me nearly 3yrs before I managed a contract

not quite wrong....all i'll say is your one of the lucky ones

(good luck with the deposit as well..known o2 in the past to be a total pita when it came to refunding it)

My o2 deposit was a pain to get back in the past, the shop did say after 3 months it would automatically be re-credited (it wasn't!) and I had to highlight the fact to customer services to get it back!!!

Yes,

I got one with Virgin recently, with no deposit.

I failed the credit check with 3 about 6 months ago, (2.5yrs now after BR) but planning on trying somewhere else soon.
