Yes, I did several times with o2 and Virgin and EE. With o2 it was only upgrades and not new contract so no credit check but EE credit checked for new contract and I was accepted !. Upgrades are normally no issue.
I upgraded my phone a couple of times with O2. I did try to take out a new contract with 3 but they turned me down.

Post IVA my credit score and report are 'excellent' on all three CR companies but still got a NO from Vodafone. No such drama's with O2 though. My new contract was painless and the phone turns up on Tuesday. I was with Virgin mobile.

Enjoy your new phone Merlin, I love getting a new phone and hope the OP is able to upgrade too.
Years ago I couldn't care less for a mobile phone, now I can't imagine life without one. I echo your sentiments and hope the OP has no issues getting a phone contract.
