Want an iPhone on O2 yet have a bad credit record?
As you are no doubt aware Apple signed a contract with O2 which made O2 the exclusive network provider for the iPhone in the UK. People are trying to hack the iPhone to enable it to work with other networks but as far as we are aware they have not been successful so far.
We have been asked about the probability of getting an iPhone contract with a bad credit history. I am afraid that the answer is not one you are going to like to hear…
Basically it is incredibly difficult to get an iPhone contract with O2 if you have bad credit. At the best of times O2 applies demanding credit scoring criteria for normal mobile phone contracts and we are not aware of anyone getting a bad credit iPhone contract so far.
You might want to consider going for the HTC Touch Pro or Xperia mobile phones as these are also receiving great reviews and are regarded as good alternatives to the iPhone.
If you have any experience or feedback to add about O2 and the iPhone then please leave a comment.
