What kind of deposit to expect?
The story continues...
I cancelled service with 2 other lines, leaving one line on Cingular. He wanted to stay because a lot of his friends are there, so, oh well. He doesn't use it much so the service issues don't really bother him, I guess. What really helped me to make this decision was that this one guy I spoke to gave me a $100 credit, for all the problems.

The last few people I spoke with were really nice. I kind of wish I could stay, but I do need something at least semi-reliable.

I believe its a year. He may not have to go that high. I too have 5 lines with no deposit.
...
$150 is the lowest deposit they give in my market, but it is the most common for a no-hit. I have seen a few $250's pop up, but that was on older individuals.

I got a 0 deposit when I was 18. Credit is inherited so if your parents had good credit, it helps. Tell him to get a credit card and hold a balance on it and make payments for 3 months.
