To help you finance your new purchase, we’ve partnered with Klarna. Klarna offers a different way to buy your phone by spreading the cost over monthly payments.
Please note that to get a loan with Klarna you’ll need, as a minimum, to:
Be aged 18+
Have a valid UK billing address
Have a debit or credit card
Provide any other information that might be requested by Klarna
Note: Please be aware that you are responsible for all payments on the phone until loan completion. This also applies in the unfortunate event that you lose or have your phone stolen. You should contact Klarna’s customer services team if you have any questions relating to your loan repayments.
Does Klarna do a hard credit check?
Does Klarna do a hard credit check?
Yes, financing is dependent on a full credit check, a member’s previous credit history, an affordability assessment, their age and several other factors, including at what time they placed their order. This credit check can influence a members’ credit rating.
More information can be found on the Klarna website.

Heads up:
If you don't have an active giffgaff SIM you’ll need to buy a minimum £10 plan with new and refurbished like new phone purchases. You can stop future plan purchases at any time. You cannot cancel this first one without cancelling your phone purchase
You don't need to purchase a plan with any refurbished phone that’s graded good, very good or excellent (unless you intend to use giffgaff, which we hope you do)
No payment will be taken from your card until you pass the credit check and buy the phone
