cell phone


Question Posted Tuesday October 3 2006, 6:08 pm

I was wondering how do I get a cell phone plan? Do I have to have credit to do so, do you have to be at least 18? I don't want a prepaid one, I want one that actually has a plan. But someone told me that you have to have credit to do so. Can someone please explain it to me?
thanks

Without parental permission, you must be at least 18. And good credit is always nice to have attached to your name, but it is generally not a requirement. If they see that you are only 18, I doubt they will hold your no credit against you. Bottom line, everyone has to start somewhere, so let this cell be your way of building up credit. It's best to have zero credit than bad credit, so I don't suspect that you will have a problem.

You need to be over the age of 18 and in most cases, you need credit history.

So there's two options:

See if you can get on a plan with someone else. Like your friends family, and you can pay all the charges on your part of the bill each month with cash or something. Only do this if you can pay or this might bring problems.

Or get prepaid, but you dont want it so yeah.

Hopefully I helped!
