Solved: First pay monthly phone

Megan_jolenex · ‎10-08-2020

I’m thinking about getting a pay monthly phone and I have a few questions that I would want to know.

1- do you pay the upfront cost and the pay monthly cost together when purchasing the phone for the first month?

2- do you have to have a credit score as I don’t think I have one? As I’m 18 and live with my parents

3- Can you pick the day you want to pay for the monthly cost?

Hi @Megan_jolenex

1 - Upfront cost is paid when you order.

2 - Yes, you will be credit checked. You might find it easier to start with a sim only tariff and build up your credit.

3 - you first bill is approx 2 days after you buy the contract and then the same day every month after that.
