Network Credit Checks

It’s a check the network carries out when you apply for a pay monthly phone plan, to protect you from identify fraud, and to help prevent you from running up unmanageable bills.

You’ll be notified of the network’s decision via email. You can also get updates by Checking Your Order.

Please contact your network directly to find out. We’re not given specific details about the decision.

You don't need to do anything. Your order will be cancelled and any payments returned to you. You could then buy the mobile you want SIM free - there's no credit check!

If you'd like to find out more about why your application was declined, please contact the network.

Yes, we’ll immediately refund any payments you’ve made. This could take up to seven days to appear on your available bank balance, although some banks may take up to 30 days. Please contact your bank for any updates.

The network may ask you to pay a deposit as a result of your credit check. This may be in addition to the upfront payment of your device. The network then returns the deposit after you establish a good payment history with them.

Deposit requests are prompted by your credit check results, although the network doesn’t give us specific details. Please contact the network for more information.
