Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help, basically, my partner does not belong to any banks (please don’t ask why) :) and I want to take out a mobile contract for her. However, I would like it in her name but the direct debit coming from my bank account.

Anyone know if this is possible with any of the networks?

Thanks for your help.

    best people for this are orange what you will have to do is take it out in your name if its your bank and your card you will be the account holder then phone them and set it up so that she is the account user that means all the bills should go to her and she will be able to change plans etc

    You can put the DD in any account you like, but if she has no financial record then it's unlikely that she'll pass the credit check.
    Don't use a debit card with a continual recurring authority, use a DD.
