How no-credit-check SIMs work

You pay at the start of each month, so the network takes no lending risk and has no reason to search your credit file. You still get the same masts and, usually, a 30-day plan you can cancel any time. Pair one with a phone bought outright, refurbished or second-hand. Options with bad credit.
