Age to have a mobile phone contract?

skiddie2003 · 28-04-2007, 12:51

Hello,

I have asked this in a thread before but:

How old do you have to be to have a mobile phone contract (pay monthly) 16 or 18?

I have heard of people getting them when they are under 18.

I know you have to have a bank account for one.

Thanks,
Stephen.

Is it not generally 18 to enter into a contract? I'll see if I can find out. You can get married at 16 in Scotland though and that's a pretty major contract.

18. Just get your parents to get it, and you pay them the bill.

Consensus does seem to be 18.

Yeah its 18, the people with them under 18 probably have them in there parents name.

Thanks for your replies, I think I will stick to pay as you go.

The reason why I asked because with T-Mobile you pay about £15 a month and get £34 worth of credit and a free mobile (one of them is a Sony K800i), it is a 18 month contract though.
