I ordered a Nokia 6230i on O2 yesterday through the dial a phone website. After I placed the order I got an email saying it will be delivered this morning and that I will be kept up to date with it progress and receive a phone call if there are any problems. All well and good I though.

I paid extra for morning delivery which was through Royal mail. The postman came and went at 12.00 with no phone, so I phoned dial a phone.

"Oh were sorry that has been declined a credit check" Nice of you's to bloody let me know,so much for keeping me updated. I sat in this morning waiting on it. Cheecky sods even debited my card for the delivery.

Blue chip? I assume you mean working for a blue chip company? How many people work for large corparate enterprises and what has this got to do with mobile phone accounts and credit referencing. Even people who work for the most prestigious companies in the world can have bad scores, in fact some of the biggest companies in the world don't exactly have good credit ratings. Ford anyone?

Usually if you have a credit card dial-a-phone and phones4U will allow you to use this as proof of credit. However that said many people fail credit checks.

Well if you put words in the wrong context what can i say. Blue chip would usually be used to describe an investment or a company not an individual. Something that is safe (an entity) could be blue chip. However I would not associate that term as description of ones credit worthyness.

"Blue chip" originates from the traditional colour of the highest value gambling chip used in a casino

In relation to the financial world, 'blue chip' signifies those companies with the highest market capitalisation. (e.g FTSE 100 companies within the UK)

Blue chip has nothing to do with the credit rating of a company, nor the credit worthiness of an individual which is usually assessed by credit scoring.
