Is it worth paying more for a contract mobile phone for the credit score benefits?

I am a soon to be university graduate and so i have starting thinking about ways to build my credit score. In researching a new mobile phone i have found that a contract option would be about £150 more expensive over 2 years than buying the phone outright with my current sim only contract.
Overall does it seem worth the extra money for the potential to build my credit score? I am not currently interested in getting a credit card and so am just curious about the potential benefits of a mobile contract

Get an Aqua or Capital One credit card and use it for petrol or a shop once a week.
Your score is neither here nor there since lenders dont see it, only you can see it, lenders/banks etc see your history.
