As stupid as it sounds having a credit card gives you a better credit rating than without as your rating is based both on your history and capability to settle debts.
If you're applying for a phone contract with no obvious means (from your credit history) of clearing bad debts then you will struggle.
You are better off getting a Debit card from your bank. Less temptation. Works as well.
