A fairer way to get a new phone
If you have been turned down for a phone contract before, you are far from alone. Missed payments, a thin credit file or simply being new to the UK can make the big networks say no. Pay monthly phones for bad credit customers work differently: instead of a 24-month airtime contract tied to a hard credit search, you spread the price of the handset itself over 12 manageable payments, then choose whichever SIM deal suits you.
Why a no credit check limit helps
Checking your limit with us does not leave a hard footprint on your credit file, so looking around will not make things worse. We look at affordability rather than past mistakes alone, which means many people with bad credit history can still find a spending limit that fits. A limit is never guaranteed, but the check is quick, free and lets you see your options before you commit to anything at all.
Choose a phone that suits your budget
Bad credit mobile phones do not have to mean old or basic models. You can pick from popular Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel handsets, plus great-value models that keep monthly costs low. Because the payments are split equally over a year with 0% APR, the amount you pay in total is the same as the price of the phone — no interest building up in the background and no surprise charges later.
Rebuild confidence with simple payments
Twelve equal payments are easy to plan around. Set them alongside your other bills, and you will know exactly when you will own your phone outright. Paying on time is a great habit when you are working to improve your finances, and since the handset is unlocked you are free to move to a cheaper SIM-only plan whenever you find one, keeping your overall phone spending under control.
How paying monthly works with us
Choose the phone you want, check your spending limit in about 60 seconds and, if accepted, split the cost into 12 equal monthly payments at 0% APR. There is no airtime contract attached, so you keep your current SIM or pick any network you like. Your phone is delivered free to your UK address, and you always know exactly what leaves your account each month. Credit is subject to status and available to UK residents aged 18 and over, so please only borrow what you can comfortably repay.
