Mobile Broadband with a Bad Credit History
An increasingly common question that is cropping up nowadays is ‘can I get mobile broadband with a bad credit history?’
Our research indicates that this is possible, just like with bad credit mobile phone contracts.
The secret is to apply direct to the major network providers as their credit scoring systems are different from the other high street and online retailers that they normally sell through.
Note that 3 Mobile have a good mobile broadband option at the moment which is a rolling one month contract giving you 5Gb data allowance per month for £15 and you only have to give them 30 days notice to terminate if you want to, which makes it low risk for them and you.

However, you should note that you are highly unlikely to get one of the ‘mobile broadband with free laptop contracts’ that are selling very well at the moment. These contracts are a great way of getting online with mobile broadband and getting a modern laptop with a monthly payment instead of paying hundreds of pounds upfront.
Unfortunately the network providers do not want to take the risk of providing an expensive laptop to someone with a poor credit record, so you are going to have to go for one of their standard tariffs where you get a mobile broadband dongle plus between 1Gb and 15Gb per month of data allowances.
