Guaranteed bad credit mobile phones

There are many people in the UK who are sick of spending £10 a day or more on top up vouchers. Pay as you go mobile phones with no credit check can end up being very expensive especially for very high users. But if you have a bad credit rating what can you do? Well, some of the UK mobile networks have had a re think about these people with some bad credit and some history of poor payments.

Now a few of the mobile networks offer sim only contract deals which offer a sim with some inclusive airtime. So, why do they do this? Well, they are offering a contract to people with a lower credit rating without exposing those selves to the capital costs of a valuable mobile phone handset. They take a direct debit from

the person getting the sim only deal and then they are only exposed to the cost of the calls.
No credit check or rating checks

The Apple iPhone 3g s, Blackberry storm and some of the new Noika handsets are very expensive to buy even a trade price. Line rental of around £30 would effectively subsidise the phones value, but with a sim only deal you have to find your own unlocked handset. You maybe better off buying a new pay as you go mobile and throwing the sim away and using that as your new handset for your sim only contract deal.

All bad credit mobile phones are are mobile phones with a sim card. simple as. Its not rocker science. If you have bad credit it is highly unlikely that you will be gfven a mobile phone contract with a host of featurs such as long term contract and lots of free minutes.

Phone providers see bad credit people as a high risk. They will run up big bills and not pay them back is the perceived impression. Hence why they try and push sim free mobiles otherwise known as mobile phone contracts for those wityh bad credit. Anonymous, Donacaster

Do Vodafone or Orange offer any type of bad credit contract?

There are more people than you may think who have a problem with their credit history and are looking for a mobile phone contract that is sympathetic towards those with a bad credit history…
