I am interested in getting the new iphone xs max on pay mounthy contract.

I hva only been in the UK 7 months so don't have 3 years history. Am I still able to get the phone on contract or wil lI have to buy it out right?

Hi @Lizziec89

You will certainly have to undergo some type of credit check and pay a large upfront fee

Your best option is to contact customer services https://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

Until you call them, no-one here will be able to tell you what your options are.

Best of luck and welcome to the forum

@Lizziec89 It's possible that you don't have a long enough credit history. Do you have a UK bank account and utility bills in your name? Probably the best thing for you to do is speak to customer service, or call into an O2 store if you have one locally, and speak to them. https://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

If you have to buy the phone outright you would be better off shopping around.

They will certainly be cheaper than O2

I think your best chance is a sim only contract and outright purchase of a phone but they are cheaper to buy direct from Apple.
