Help re Mobile Phone Contracts

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice about mobile phone contracts in WA. We want to sell our UK mobile phones and all get contracts (including a nice shiny new phone!) when we arrive in Oz at the end of August.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience of getting a contract with no credit history?

Also, can anyone recommend a good contract at a reasonable price and where within Perth/surrounding suburbs to go and get this from? The kids use theirs more than us (both teenagers) and will probably use more internet and texts than us.

Thanks :cool:

It's exactly the same here as anywhere and difficult to favour one over another. All I would say is that Vodafone seem consistently terrible. I instantly know when I'm talking to someone on Vodafone because the reception is awful.

I managed to get a contract with Virgin after being here a couple of months but I had to open a vein and provide 10 generations of DNA sampling to qualify.

Likewise I went with Virgin within a month or so of arriving. AS long as I had some photo ID, a bank maccount and some form confirmation of address (bank statement letter etc) then we had no issues. Here they tend to assume a good credit history to start with, and its up to you to disprove it.

 

Although a nice phone is great, we went initially with BYO (bring your own) phone, so the price was cheaper.

 

I"ve had no issues at all.
