Getting an iphone contract on 02 whilst on benefits excellent credit score advice

Hi

Is it possible for me to get an iphone £35 per month contract on 02 whilst on benefits DLA etc? I've got an excellent credit score my bank said, I've never defaulted in my life. I've got a Vodafone contract which I will pay off but I got that as a student, three years ago.

The iphone is a present that I'm being given the money for because I've coped being ill. I never go out and dont buy fancy food or clothes, it will be my one and only treat this year.

I dont want it on pay as u go, its not for me. I have a credit card and have proof of utilities etc for my address.

Advice would be appreciated, I dont want to go the shop and be turned down.

    Wait until 11th July for the new iphones on O2. Then you can apply online for your contract.... That way if you do get turned down, your not confronted face to face with someone.

    Thanks, I just phoned 02 they said as long as I pass the credit check it will be fine, it doesnt matter about anything else. I'm glad about that as I am currently have no mobile bec I sold my last iphone.

    Go through quidco online and you can also get some cashback!
  • Thanks, I would like to go through Quidco but I dont think you will be able to buy it online and if you can it might take a while for it to arrive. I wouldnt be surprised if they deliberately control stock levels to create more hype.
