SIM Only - Credit??

Hi All,
I was declared BR on 23/03/2010 and was discharged 14/09/2010 i have recently sorted out my credit file and i have a credit card that was recently increased that i run pretty much up to the limit and pay off in full each month (Vanquis with a £1000 limit)
I applied for credit last month and it was granted through H&M of £100 so i have been ordering and paying in full.
I have now just applied for a SIM only contract for my iPad (thanks mammy and daddy!!!!) and had this approved.
Is this a form of credit? Does this mean my credit rating is getting better?
TIA
Steph

It will not do any harm to have any "green ticks" on your credit file, but to be honest whilst your BR is still there, your credit rating does not really mean that much.:pB&SC No. 298
