As it is only a month by month contract rather than a 12 month deal for the O2 online extra tariffs (double mins double texts), what do you all think the chances of a 19 year old with no credit history getting it?

    only way to find out is to ask!

    If your working and have been in the job a few months, probably you will be accepted. If you don't ask you won't get......but at the same time if you ask you still may not get :)

    Dont worry about been accepted by o2 online.

    Dont think they do anything to check credit ratings etc, they certainly dont ask anything about employment status or income or anything.

    I know a 15 year old on an o2 online contract and hes still at school :-/ mad eh! lol

    So you will be accepted unless ya address is blacklisted or something.

    So go ahead and apply :)

    There site is sometimes shockingly bad.

    It wouldnt accept my credit card for payment for my phone for some reason so had to use my SWITCH card.

    Site really should be improved for such a large company imho.
