Is a credit check carried out on Sim Only Pay Monthly tarrif for 12 months and 30 days?

@AnonymousNot always but O2 do a lot of credit checks particularly on new contracts. It's dependent on whether you have been with them before and paid on time etc....

Any new contracts will require a credit and identity check, so yes in your case unless you are already in contract and just changing to a simo tariff.

Unfortunately yes unless you are upgrading or changing a current contract to sim only. Any company does that for a new contract to ensure you aren't overstretching your finances. This protects the company and more importantly, yourself.
