Weird credit check - BT

This doesn't sound odd at all. By any chance were you trying to get a newer iphone/android model? Those are the sort of questions used as an id check for high priced newer devices

Nope renewing 2 sim only deals and moving 2 handset contracts to sim only.  And it really was odd - I got a mortgage with less questions that weren't multiple choice and which weren't blatantly wrong. Lol

"Broadband and 4 sim only deals (normally at least 2 handsets but being good)."

So doesn't sound like expensive handsets. Could be checking whether op can commit to pay for next 24 months (would question why anyone would commit to sim only for 24 months though and frankly what have they lost if you stop paying? They can just disconnect you)

Sim only was pure laziness as I'm too busy at work to get a better deal and was taking the easy option. Obviously not now - there goes the weekend free time (along with car insurance renewal - BLAH).

I've been paying them for multiple years so baffled why suddenly they're worried I  can't afford to pay less. Lol

Have you checked your ofcom coverage checker?

Lebara (on vodafone) have got some good deals on 5gb and 12gb. and 15gb is a good price.

Or smarty (on 3) 12gb or 24gb
