Hi...I want to buy a monthly plan phone but do not have 3 years of address history in UK. So I am unable to checkout.

How can I buy the phone?

You can’t pass credit checks without at least 3-years UK address history @Danyalm.

Perhaps buy a SIM free handset from Apple, Google or Amazon online, then get a PAYG iD SIM card with a bundle, and set the bundle to auto-recur.

No UK address history or credit check required with iD PAYG - good luck @Danyalm

Hi @Danyalm 

 

Unfortunately we’d require a minimum of 3 years of UK address history for a credit check, if you don’t have this we wouldn’t be able to sell you a contract.

 

It may be worth as @andewhite suggests to look into a SIM free device and Pay As You Go.
