Hi all, so I need a phone for my sons birthday, he is willing to wait until I can upgrade. But I feel really bad on him. Do o2 credit check existing customers to take out an additional line? I know other companies don’t. Thanks in advance

Yes, for an additional line you will be checked, but not if you upgrade the current one.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

For an upgrade they wouldn't credit check but they almost certainly would taking out a new line.

Not applicable

@Ebritton14 Normally they don’t credit check for upgrades but if it’s an additional line then I’m not entirely sure maybe @MI5 @jonsie could corroborate
