Help Please - mobile contract
My daughter has just started uni and has a PAYG O2 phone - which is proving very costly.
She wanted to sign up for a sim only £25 per month O2 contract. It's a 1 month ongoing contract with no phone up front. Unfortunately she was turned down due to her credit rating.
She's never been in debt but has a student loan, a new bank account and practically no money - though she's had a part time job for 2 years.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
