Hi I've just got a mobile on contract with sky how long do I have to wait till I can get another one because it says my credit check was unsuccessful but I'm putting that down to them not telling me when my first payment is so I haven't paid any monthly payments yet

thank you in advance

@Martinb2021 If you credit check was unsuccesful it won't be anything to do with when your 1st payment is, you need to check your credit report which is free from the likes of Clearscore & CreditKarma

Sky uses two credit checking agencies in Equifax and Experian. so it might be worth signing up to these two perhaps via a free trial (don't forget to cancel) to see your record with them.

To answer your question about how long before you can try again, if you take out a sim only deal then you could try again in 6 months time as per this:

Hi I've just set up a sky mobile plan and was successful but my upfront payment can't be done till Thursday does it save until I can pay the upfront payment? Because I can't find my order when I log into my account
