New Contract Mobile But Bad Credit - Help

Hi,

Basically, I have started a new job that requires me to have a contract mobile phone, i need to be able to itemised all the calls and have a set allowance of free minutes which my employer will pay for upon me producing the bill each month.

The problem is that I have rubbish credit rating and as such I dont know what to do? I need the phone by the 7th as this is when I start my job, I have requested copies of my credit files already but these will not give me a quick solutions so I was wondering if anyone could give me some advise? I was going to go into the local town tomorrow and just try and every mobile phone store and sod the outcome with regards to credit searches on my file etc - that is how much I am in need.

anyone know what I can do?

Thanks
