"edit" got through and askedf or settlement figures and returns operator could not hear me advised normal level spoke louder tol;d no need to be agressive then yet again in middle of trying to sort issue cut off clearly it all has to be in writing and probably recorded what is it with the concept of customer service?

hi there @Anonymous

As promised, I've confirmed it and officially its actually 4, so you already have 1 extra one... Although I spoke to a manager that confirmed that you will be allowed 10, but it all depends on your credit score. So as long as you have a good credit history you should be allowed to add the new account. Do bear in mind that after the 4th account it will be looked at by the credit referral team, so it's their decision.

Did the store manager told you the credit check was refered or declined?

Hi

Contracts are declined for many reasons connected to your credit file and it's known too many applications together can result in a decline too.

Perhaps check your credit file via experian.

Keep trying cs until you get told the exact reason for refusal just so we know how to advise you further.

Just out of interest @MI5 ...Is there actually a limit to how many phones/devices you can have on contract with O2?

suspect there is as a "credit limit"clearly they would have concerns if somone with no history wanted to suddenly have one phone after another its frankly therudeness lack of clarity and failure to remember where the office staff get their money that gets up my nose

x number of phones coming up for renewal one after other this is how its been 4 me 4 years

Their is no limit to how many contracts a person can have as long as their credit file is good and the company involved, who ultimately make the decision to allow or decline are happy to do so.

Too many requests for credit can come across as a person over stretching themselves too when a company looks at a credit file.

That's interesting information to have as that's the first time I've heard that O2 place a limit !

I'd heard 4 or 5 mentioned as a limit before.
