Can At&t put all 0's for a social security number, and if yes, how much of deposit would it be?

Thanks

No, Osama, we cannot do that - The credit check will come back "INVALIDSSN" - contract phones (at least on this carrier) must be linked to a valid SSN.

so get a go phone or start paying your bills. To improve your credit. THey don't' require that high of a score for no deposit. So you must have a really bad score if you can't get a phone!

that's incorrect. there are provisions that allow customers who do not wish to give a social to activate. the sales rep would call in to get it done.

Do you actually have good credit or not? That is the key.

If you have a credit history you can't get away from it. If you use a false social it will go to a manual review process during which they will verify personal information to see if the credit file pulled matches your identity.

If your credit sucks, you owe $750 regardless. If you have no history at all it will be $500 or less depending on other factors such as address history, job history, etc.

What are you trying to avoid? Giving your social or letting AT&T see your credit history?

They will still try to find your credit profile by Name and Address and if they can't, it'll be a $500 deposit.
