There's noting stopping you applying for one but if they do a credit check then it probably won't be successful.

Most people just stick with their current mobile supplier provided they are up to date with their monthly payments during their BR period.

If you stick with your current provider, all they will do is just check to make sure that your payments are up to date and you will be able to upgrade with no problem.

I've followed the links on the website and it only takes you to the websites of the mobile phone companies. Personally I think it would be very unlikely for someone to get a contract with a new provider whilst they are BR (there's a difference between having bad credit history and being BR), but if anyone could prove me wrong that would be great!

Tomorrow is a mystery, yesterday is history, today is the present, a gift to make the most of.

I'd be surprised if you could get a new contract with a different provider as well.

Their are some companies out their that will help you with finding a good contract even with bad credit. It would cost you more.


There are some good pay as you go offfers out there too at the moment and some good mobile phones at cheap prices.

Best of luck

I've noticed as well that even the 30 day contracts are not usually available for people who are BR.

I certainly wouldn't be paying any more than I do for my contract.
