Mobile SIM only Contracts Whilst BR

michael1983l

Hi, I was wondering if anybody had any luck with the Mobile month by month SIM only contracts. You can get a much better deal than PAYG plus I can build up confidence with a provider so that I can get a decent phone once I am in a position to be able to afford it.

Not quite what you are asking, I know but I switched from a full contract to SIM only 12 month contract just after my BR. I stayed with the same provider and was due an upgrade so I didn't have any credit checks. I didn't owe any money to them and although I put a phone allowance in my SOA, the company weren't named. I just kind of let it slip through. I don't know about starting from scratch though. I'm sure someone will be along soon who can shed some light.

Starting from scratch will be difficult although not impossible for mobile contracts most including sim only deals will require a credit check as owlet said if you stay with the currrent provider it's usually not an issue staying with them....

if not have a look at giff gaff they run as a virtual network with o2 for around a tenner a month (their goody packs) you can get a pretty decent allowance calls/txt data..and as they're PAYG no commitment or credit checks
