Will a credit check of fair be okay with a Vodafone contract application?

Options
I applied for a new phone contract with Vodafone. They took a £50.00 upfront charge. Then the online application came up that they will do a credit report check. My banking app says my credit score is fair. Will this be okay for Vodafone?

    Nobody knows except Vodafone. They won't see your score. Nobody sees your score except you. They will look at your 'HISTORY' - and then compare it against their internal acceptance criteria - and if you meet that criteria - they'll say yes - and if you don't - they'll say no.
