You appear to have answered your own question there!

great if you can make it pay, but at a minimum typical annual contract rate of £300 p.a and probably an average of £420 p.a., he must know a good place to sell mobile handsets at over the odds prices

As long as the network is getting paid on time every month, it probably improves his credit history.
Note some networks may limit the number of handsets you can have at any one time - if for no other reason than you can't afford to pay that amount of monthly charge based on your income, or otherwise they know you cannot use lots of phones at once so there is no benefit to them to supply you with so many contracts. But if you have a good enough credit rating and have the ability to repay, 2 or 3 contracts are not normally a problem.
1 for you, 1, for your partner, perhaps 1 for another dependent.
