    Hi

    Have you cleaned up your credit files?

    People have had luck with Tmobile but usually the best thing to do is get a sim only deal and often they will upgrade you to a full contract after some months.

  • T-Mobile seem to offer contract deals to those on IVA's. If you are discharged and starting to rebuild credit, they are a good start.

    I have heard that Virgin (Media) are pretty Ok and non judgemental.

    As mentioned in the post above, I managed to get a monthly contract with phone from Virgin Mobile one month after my discharge., they also let me add 2 more contracts and phones 2 months later.
