They do not actually check your credit rating. We found that out when my partner who joined Experian and Equifax discovered that no credit check had been made even though we were told by Virgin that we had both failed (for no reason of course). Today I successfully took out a Blackberry with Vodaphone. My thoughts are that they have a certain quota of Blackberrys to give out and when that is filled, everyone else is excluded by so called failed credit checks. It is insulting and they should be shamed.
