Hi Team,


My phone contract with Orange is now up for renewal. I’ve searched around and it appears staying with Orange / EE is my best option. My boyfriend is also with them and has just renewed as a business customer. I can save around £10 per month if I close my contract with Orange and go on a shared tariff with him however, I’m not sure what to do. In the past my phone contract helped with my credit rating (I’ve since purchased a property) and I just wanted to check that in doing this there would be no such detriment to me.


Thank you

    I would think being a homeowner helps your credit rating much more than having a phone contract. I wouldn't keep it just for that purpose.

    Ok thank you I agree. Does anyone see any other negative impact in doing this?

    Only if you split up with your boyfriend. Things could get awkward if that were to happen.
