    im not sure wat ur asking ....

    3 are not a bad network ...there pretty good but the limit of phones do make it seem bad and also the sims not working in non 3 phones ...

    If you have been rejected by all network and 3 asked u for a deposit and u didnt take it then ur crazy because everytime u do a credit check your ratings go down ...like with 3 if u do the check and then u dont take it ...they may not pass u again
  • Hi Jam555s,

    I have a far from good credit file. When I took out my '3' contract just over a year ago they asked for a £150 deposit which they returned after the 12 months. I've just renewed my contract with them without the deposit.

    Hope this helps.

    Jam...I've already told you!! Anyway, no network is easier than any other to get onto anymore. It used to be the case years ago when three first started out and desperately needed customers. If your that bothered, I can go in and do a credit check on you at my old 3store and then you know for sure.

    Just make sure you can afford the contract you've signed up to -- if not suggest returning in the 14 days or whetever and go PAYG with a basic handset (sorry).

    If you default you won't be doing yourself/credit rating a favour longer term


    Good luck.
