New Credit card advice needed

Hi there, i have 4 "satisfied defaults" from 3-4 years ago,
and therefore my credit rating of course isnt going to be amazing

i am looking to rebuild this, and i recently got accepted for a 3three mobile phone contact, given this does this mean that my crdit rating is not that bad, and am i likly to be accepted for a credit building card like vanquis or aqua?

    What is your credit rating score? If you apply for your credit rating from say Experian they give an overall assessment score and points out of 1000.
    ie. score good
    810.
    Have a look at yours and take it from there.
    if you get stuck or are unsure post here again.
