Sim only deal

I'm 6 months in to a debt relief order, can I get a sim only contract at £18 per month?! Would I be breaking any of the rules?! 

Thank you in advance.

    Hi there
    The only rule is that you cannot apply for more than £500 credit without letting the lender know you are insolvent - this is stated in the DRO paperwork, and unless you are paying for a handset, a mobile phone contract m is paying a service, not taking our credit. So if the provider accepts you, you should be fine. 
  • Thank you.

    It`s highly likely you will be declined though.

    Much better to use a PAYG service such as giffgaff, or similar, unlimited mins/texts and massive data packages from £6 per month.

    Or Lebara ... worth having a look at the cheap sim only deals section on the main MoneySavingExpert website
