Customers are credit checked by the contract provider when taking out a new phone contract. There is a possibility you could be rejected for a contract if you have a bad credit score. This is down to the discretion and policy of the network provider offering you the contract.
In most cases, new models will require an upfront payment as a contribution to the contract plan. Many older models have no upfront cost, and many plans include add-ons and incentives.
A SIM-only plan allows you to select the number of minutes, messages, and data you require, then keep or replace your current phone. It's a cheaper option to a monthly contract that includes the cost of a new phone.
Most carriers do not need you to pay a deposit before receiving your phone and starting your monthly payments. After you've completed the required number of months on your upgrade plan and made all of your payments, you'll be offered to exchange your phone for a new one.
Yes! Rather than choosing a traditional mobile phone contract, where you pay a monthly bill for both your handset and network tariff, a handset only (or SIM free) option means you just purchase the mobile phone and are free to choose a SIM only plan from any network provider.
Your new network will begin migrating your number from your old SIM to your new SIM once you've given them your PAC code. Your old number will be transferred to your new SIM on your new network. For the time being, keep your old SIM in your old phone so you may make and receive calls and texts.
You can search for different carriers by going to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Operators and tapping Search Now. If you see different provider names, your phone may be unlocked. This strategy works a lot of the time, although it isn't always perfect.
