So i just want to brag a little...
"congratulations! you've been approved for service with Cingular Wireless. We'd just require a $750 deposit in order to get that set up for you today. do you have a credit or debit card you can put that on today?"
yeah right. see how quickly they hang up.
my deposit for $500, i'm only 22 and it was mostly because i didn't have ENOUGH credit built up. just stupid loans and such.

$200 isn't bad credit. that's a lot better than a lot of the deposits i see over here. you want bad credit? try telling a customer this:

eh, it didn't matter to me. i got my service with cingular set up 4 years ago, paid the deposit and it was like a nice little bonus check a year later (which was good since i had taken a different job and gotten a pay cut) so it worked out well for me. plus they gave me a free nokia phone! Oh Em Gee! how nice of them! cingular gives out free stuff! free free free!

That's not true. It can register a deposit for not having any. I got mine when I was 18 and had absolutely nothing to my name and I paid $300. It is considered a "risk" and that is why they wast a deposit for little or no credit.
or HORRIBLE credit
you're lucky you only got hit with a $300. most of the kids i get end up with the lucky $750.

I am only 22 & have NO credit. I do not want a credit card right now. I pay for everything with my Debit card If i want something, I save the money for it. This is exactly the way I have always done it & paid cash for my car, cell phone, EVERTHING I OWN.
For you to judge me so quickly shows how much of a buffoon you can be Temp.
i'm kidding temp, it's ok. that's just how you might have been informed.
consider yourself newly informed now!

When I activated service with AT&T, I had to put down a $200 deposit. When I migrated to Cingular, my final bill with AT&T was $99.54. The deposit paid that final bill & generated a credit of $100.46. They finally applied the remaing credit balance to my Cingular account. My monthly charge is usually around $125. My bill this month is $23.24 😁
