I must admit that I wouldn't be happy using my phone - you've only got to lose it or have it stolen and there's the potential for your bank account to.be wiped out in minutes.

Never use mobile devices for anything like banking etc ... but, whenever I have disposed of a computer I have physically destroyed the hard disc myself.

It seems that a £15 transaction limit is set on it.Still not keen on the idea.

I wouldnt be happy walking through the tube stations with my phone in my hand!!![:0]

The £15 limit is standard for a contactless transaction, I have the same on my orange pre paid card, although I've not found anywhere it can be used 'contactlessly' yet, otherwise it's fine as a normal mastercard.

I tbink I'll be sticking to the normal transactions. The thought of contactless ones does worry me.

How long ago was that? They've actually stopped doing them now. I take you were an O2 customer?

kallis it was shortly after our IVA began - apparently it was the provider who refused. They must have credit searched. And yes I'm an O2 customer.

I had one after I started the IVA, if its a prepaid card then there should be no credit check.
