All that should be required to set up monthly payments are your bank details (sort code and account number) plus proof of ID to set up a direct debit, that is how my monthly payments work.
A card is not required for this purpose and it gives the supplier power to take money out of your account at will in a way that can be difficult to stop as other posts on this forum show.
Do not deal with any company that insists on your card details rather than a direct debit authorisation for monthly payments as DD can be cancelled by you at any time (if the need arises).

The are NOT taking the card details to set up DD, it is an authorisation process to take first payment via a CC/DC. ALL major providers will ask for this.

Nope wrong again, if there is an up-front payment required you can pay that by other means.
You will still have to make a pre-authorisation payment through the card for £1 or £2.50 which they process to do security checks and the payment is then refunded to the card.
Still waiting for the answer to my question by the way

Why is it every time someone points out you are wrong you suggest that you are being attacked ?

You were wrong, read what was written.


You said Tesco will take cash for the initial payment implying the OP would get a contract without a CC/DC


I said no because they have to have a CC/DC to take a pre-authorisation payment.


You then said you then said it's a process to take the first payment via CC/DC


You were wrong again because as I pointed out, if they require an up front payment this can be paid by any means.


I then went on to explain what a pre-authorisation payment was and you still failed to grasp it

You can report it to whoever you like it's still not going to stop people correcting you when you are wrong.

What is a debit account?

is the deal a contract? if your cashcard isn't on a debit account, how will you set up direct debits for your monthly contract payments? Have you tried asking carphonewarehouse online?

Of course you could just use PAYG if budgeting is tight.
