Contract phone without a job.......

Jimbeam3678 · 8 May 2010 at 11:32

In a month or so I'll be coming back to the UK after 18 months of travelling. I've got plenty of saving etc etc.

Question is I need a phone and I've always gone for contract phones , will I have any trouble getting a contract with no job? Previous credit rating is A1 and i've been at same address for donkey's years......

Anyone know a definite answer ? I heard a something about maybe having to put a 100 quid deposit down or something.

If it doesn't look like I can get a contract phone i'll grab one over Taiwan or Thailand when i'm there

Thanks in advance

I've never been asked who I work for or even if I work when getting a contract phone, and I've had them since I was 18 and earning 20p a week

Ha ha 20p indeed , been a while since I got a contract , from memory I don't even think they ask about jobs. don't they just check your bank details and house address etc etc ?

I've been surviving whilst travelling on some crap Nokia from 4 years ago!

Sounds good , i'm all ok with the credit stuff. Just a little worried about not having a job etc etc. they don't need to know i've been travelling right

I don't think they ask , just do a basic check on yor bank account by the looka of it from google
