Upgrade SIM to Device

So i'm due the upgrade in 6 days time after waiting 6 months - i've heard there are now credit checks? And that is change is imminent can anyone confirm?

As it's not the ideal situatuion given my credit isn't the best and one of the reason's i joined O2 from ID when my deal ran out.

The ways of O2 are past finding out.

As the phone will be on a credit agreement there will at least be a soft credit check, whether that has changed I've not heard anything

@kloppo964 - With O2 you'll need to pass a credit check to get any of their pay monthly products. O2 will pass on your details to their credit reference agency partners (Cifas, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) who will conduct the search (read O2's page on credit checks here: https://www.o2.co.uk/termsandconditions/privacy-policy

I already have a Pay Monthly sim only - which advises on my account I can upgrade to a device in 6 days.

@kloppo964

That date only means you are eligible to upgrade, it doesnt mean you will be accepted for a device plan, but as long as you have kept your payments upto date, and havent missed any or late then you should be ok.

But you know until you try and upgrade.

Then go for it - if it fails, you will know soon enough, I guess.
