Looking for a mobile phone contract with a free gift? Even if you have a bad credit history, you may still succeed in being accepted, however it is very difficult. We do not recommend bad credit applicants apply for a phone deal where you also get a free gift. The reason is because the credit checks are very strict. Not only is the retailer giving away a free mobile phone, but also a free gift – they combined value of these means that retailer offering such deals are looking for very reliable customers with a good credit history. Unfortunately anyone with a low credit score will be deemed to be too high risk and is likely to be refused.
However, not to worry. You can still get a contract phones, but we strongly suggest you apply direct with a mobile phone network. For more tips on how you can increases your chances of approval, be sure to check out our homepage which has all the latest information on making it easier.
One of the best ways to get approved is to apply for a cheaper tariff and a cheaper handset. This effectively makes you less of a risk, and networks can be more flexible in offer a deal where they would otherwise refuse to offer a contract. Another great idea is to apply for a SIM Only deal where you get no handset with the pay monthly plan. You still get your minutes and texts though, and it’s cheaper than Pay As You Go but easier to get accepted for than a contract phone deal. With good payments on time, after a few months you should then consider ringing the network up and to ask for an upgrade to a full contract if you still want a new mobile phone.
