In the UK I think for at least a decade. I think I can remember submitting to a credit check for a mobile phone contract in 2012, and certainly again when I changed provider in 2015

Hmmm... I probably changed provider within that timeframe so maybe I just don't remember.

Thanks for the info!

Is it an actual credit check, or used as a proxy for an identification check?

Last year I took out a new line with a EE and from looking at Experian it was a hard pull by them and a soft pull by Lexis Nexis for identification.

I don't have my records from 2015 to recall if it was hard or soft.
