New eSIM proivder - Boshhh Mobile (uses EE)


Their selling point is you can rebuild your credit file, prices don’t seem that competitive and I cannot find out much more.

Has anyone seen or tried them?
They came up on my radar, checked them out. Really like the concept. Think it'll be good for lots of folks.

Especially when they have silly names: Seeek, Firsty, Boshhh, Zoiko ...
To be fair, the first two never mentioned anything about credit ratings...

I've had absolutely no issues with the Firsty free tier other than I can't get Vodafone 4G (and I have to pray Red Bull connects to it since manual selection doesn't seem to work well).

I've had credit issues in the past, certainly I found especially if you call SIM only contracts are rarely an issue. I'd concur that a single telecoms contract is going to have a minimal affect in your overall credit rating, but you may find as an existing customer you can get a phone as well easier than as a new customer.

You can rebuild your credit file with any SIMO contract. Why does it have to be specifically Boshhh?

It's extremely rare to be declined for a SIMO because as I stated in another thread, it's a low risk product. You're more likely to be declined on an ID check (address history, different name, details not matching with bank etc.) than on credit.
 
Another thought - just get Loqbox. It's a credit builder where it's pretending to take out a store credit voucher on your credit file. You pay £20/mo and after the set period (e.g. 1 year), you get your money back. It's the same thing as Boshhh but better.
 
I would just keep expectations in check re any if these credit builder products TBH. IMHO the best thing to do is to budget and save where you can. If you can get a credit card (even if it's only a £200 limit) use it and pay it off in full.

It tends to be the best cure for credit issues is time, the longer since a default/missed/late payment the easier it is to get credit.

Only if they’re mugs who don’t mind being ripped off.
I commented on social media that their pricing is crazy and they said "we give access to your credit report on Equifax worth £14.99 a month!", replied again to say "you can request a statutory report free" and they just reverted to the "credit building" line.

So to be honest it appears to be geared to people who don't know better. Will they find a market? Doubt it, but maybe.
