    I just wanted to thank you for all your replies and advice.

    I have chosen the 30 day rolling sim from 3 which comes with 600 mins, ultd texts and unltd internet for £18 per month.

    I do have bad credit so didn't want to risk getting rejected for a 12 month sim.

    Thanks again! :beer:
    Does anybody know how many payments for the 30 day rolling sim you have to make before you qualify for a handset?

    I have heard different timescales from different people

    Three do an external credit check for every new contract irrespective of how any existing contracts have been managed. I know people who have been turned down for a second line despite having a perfect payment history with them.

    Best to apply and see what happens! You never know......

    I have heard that phone contracts have a higher acceptance rate towards the end of the month as sales targets need to be met etc, is this true?

    Companies that offer credit can and do change the acceptance criteria from time to time. I doubt that Three's credit vetting is easier to pass at the end if the month compared to other times. Just apply and see what happens.
