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.

    Can you trust her enough to take out a contract in your name (on her behalf)?

    Hi Quentin - have thought about that. It's my backup plan if I can't find anything better.

    Thanks reehsetin - will check that out.
