Can you get a cell phone in your name if you have no credit?
I will no longer be on my parents phone line and have to look into getting a cell phone on my own. I'm 18 with no credit history yet. Will I be able to get an iPhone or something?
LOL. You broke *** ******.
Yes. By prepaying each months charges you do not have to use to use credit
You will get a contract on your name and you'll only get a phone when you make a down-payment of certain amount. If the phone is $649 - $749 then you've to pay $250 - 300 when you signup and then pay the rest of the amount for 24-months.
Say, you get the iPhone 7 128GB from Verizon which is $749 and you've no credit history. You've to make a payment of $300 when you signup the contract and get the phone and you'll pay the rest of the price ($749 - $300 = $449) for 24 months, in your case, $18.74/month.
AT&T doesn't have anything like that. You can just get your phone without credit history and you won't have to make a hefty payment when signing up.
Just go get a prepaid phone. You don't need credit. Walmart has tons of them.
- Why does the iPhone 6 cost more if you already have a cell phone? Every where I look it says the iPhone 6 plus 64 gig is 399. If I want to up grade from my AT&T flip phone the iPhone will cost me 649.99 with two year contract.
- If you text a cell phone from your iphone and the number is out of service? If you text a cell phone from your iphone and the number is out of service, will your iphone indicate so? its a Iphone 4 By indicating i meant say something like "not delivered" i should clarify
- If i have cell phone insurance for my iphone can i get a new one? So when i got my iphone 4s i got insurance on it through verizon because i always drop it. So now, 6 months later, i've dropped it several times and the screen has some scratches and other blemishes, so i was just wondering if i could get a new one because of the insurance? I realize i could just call verizon, but i like asking you guys.
- How do you activate a cell phone that you get in the mail? I ordered an iphone that says its for at&t. I already have an at&t plan. Do I have to bring my phone to the at&t store or can I just switch the sim card out myself?
