Can I qualify for a contract phone?

[Anonymous]

HI,

I am looking to get an iPhone on contract next week, but my Mum doubts wether i qualify for a contract as I am a student living with my Mum.

Does this hinder me? What is taken into consideration when O2 give out contracts?

Thanks,
Kev

just apply and see what happens, I've got a terrible credit rating and had to put a £100 deposit down but I'm happy!

You need to be 18 they will carry out a credit history search.
