Hi - my daughter is coming to UK to study for the next three years. she is British but we live in Europe.
Can my mother, her grandmother, who is a UK resident, take a contract for her at her address? Can it then build up a credit record for my daughter who is likely to remain in the UK after her studies. My mother already has an ID contract - does this cause a problem?
the SIM deals are so much better value than the Pay As You Go deals.
thanks for any help you can give.

Hi
Welcome to the Community!
In order to take out a contract she must be at least 18 years old and have 3 years UK address history.
If she doesn’t meet the criteria and somebody else takes out a contract, they would require to undergo a credit check and the contract would be in their name.
The contract would only affect the credit record of the account holder even if your daughter pays the bills.
