    in the the eyes of the CRAs it shows stability
    I am sure other existing accounts can also show stability.
    It shows they are allowed to reside in the UK

    Are you saying those non-EU residents holding a valid visa don't have the right to reside in the UK??

    Yes credit score is affected more by taking a handset contract. always easier to get a sim only contract.
