is there anyone with some sort of hook up who could possibly look around the $500 charge that i am requried to pay just to be approved for serivce with a cell phone company....... this is my 1st cell phone on my own... i have had one with my parents before and with companies before but i thought it would be a good idea and go ahead and get set up with either tmobile or nextel ....i just need some help people....

 

does tmobile even require for you to pay up front?

 

you probably have shitty credit, bc that huge charge is usually bc of bad credit.

 

Try a different provider...some providers are more strict then others.

I believe T-Mobile is pretty good about not charging, I've heard Sprint is pretty good too.

I've been told the two worst for this is Cingular and Verizon.

 

Depends on who you ran credit with. With a lot of companies that's a "no credit" decision. PM or IM me and I'm pretty sure I can help you out.

 

i had been on the family share plan for about 3 years until my parents told me I had to be on my own plan (because I had ran up our minutes)

so i went through verizon..i had a credit card for less than 2 weeks and had only put gas on it and then went to the verizon store & they did the credit check..i was for sure I'd have to pay at least a $100 deposit on the phone but luckily i didn't, and it ran through at zero

 

yeah well i dont have the most perfect credit


but at 22 who does?

 

people with self-control? I never had to pay such a large fee. but that's the price you have to pay when you get yourself in that situation.

 

yeah the only reason its not so perfect is cause of some medical bills....nothing major

 

Try alltel
