Virgin Mobile is a top choice for bad credit customers. Our research suggests that they have a very high acceptance rate on all deals, including mobile phone contracts and SIM Only contracts. This may be explained on the basis that in terms of customers they are the smallest network in the UK and so are actively looking for new customers by having a lower credit score requirement then the bigger companies. From the feedback we have received, Virgin have an easy credit check for most users – and if you have a poor credit history you can still get a contract phone with them. As such they are recommended by us if you are wanting to give yourself the best chance of approval. However like every other network, they don’t do no credit check phones.
