A Pay monthly SIM only deal is the perfect way to build up your credit rating quickly and easily. It gives the networks a chance to get to know you, putting you in a good position to get a contract later down the line. You can sign up for just a month at a time, so it's easy to swap to a contract once your credit rating improves. What's more you still get great value on minutes, text messages and internet data.

A credit check is still performed for a Pay monthly SIM only deal, but with no equipment included, lower line rentals and shorter contract lengths, the networks will take a more lenient decision. Whilst no guarantees can be given, your application would be more likely to be accepted for a Pay monthly SIM only deal than a Pay monthly Handset contract.

How to check your credit file

If you'd like to see the information currently shown on your credit file, you can apply for a copy of your credit file from these credit reference agencies. If once you have viewed your credit file you are still unhappy with the decision made by the network provider, you can then appeal directly to them, by supplying an up to date copy of your credit file with a covering letter.
