Hi, 
I am totally exhausted trying to start building my credit history. Can anyone recommend any provider (it must be powered by  EE only unfortunately due to bad coverage where I live) that offers above without checking credit history?
Thanks

    Its a no credit check plan where you pay a fixed amount each month (in advance?), no idea if they actually send you monthly bills. But given that you don't want a credit search (= unable to take out regular EE sim only plan), the flex plan might be your best bet if you want to go with EE direct. I imagine EE might let you upgrade to a regular sim only plan after X months once you build some sort of history with them on their Flex plan.

    well, I am paying now monthly as well by renewing my pack each month, no signs of putting me on a standard plan.

    Their application process looks like a regular credit check? Usually soft searches are not visible on your searches.

    But the Flex plan is NOT PAYG.
