Mobile Broadband Contract - Not Uk Citizen

[oppilif86]

I am an Italian student, and I have moved into UK two weeks ago. I have rented a house in UK and I expect to live there for about an year. I would like to get a Vodafone Mobile Broadband USB stick with a monthly contract: what are exactly the requirements for this?

Hi Oppilif86,

A warm welcome to the eForum!

When a new contract is taken out, a credit check is performed and I’m sure that one of the factors is the amount of time you’ve lived in the UK. As this has only been a couple of weeks I’m not sure how this would affect a contract application.

If you do have any difficulties due to this then you may find the Top Up And Go modems really useful! Take a look for more information!

If you’re going to be making calls back home, take a look at the Vodafone international calling information on our website. We’ve got some great Pay As You Go plans with cheap international calls!

All the best,

Jenny

Well, as far as i'm aware, as a foreign student you wouldnt be able to get a standard contract - But - If you were willing to put a £100 deposit, I think the stores/telesales would be able to give you a contract. You get the deposit back after 6 months..

Otherwise, Id get the top up and go modem - £15 per gig - but you can buy them in Tescos...
