Sorry charlie! Ask for the money for Christmas and make all your payments on time for a year and you will get it for Christmas again the next year!

IMHO, that is the dumbest thing I have heard of. Cingular will not give service to someone who just turned 18 (no credit history) without a deposit, but I know people who have filed bankruptcy and Cingular has given them service without a deposit. Doesn't make much sense to me. 🙄

Yeah. It sucks, but, thats the way it is. Ive heard that if you keep a go phone active for 12 months, they send you a letter telling you you are eligible for contract service.

Get a Debit Card through your bank account that has a credit card logo on it. Every time you use it, ask to use as credit instead of debit (still draws from acct., not from Visa or Mastercard). I have done this since getting a checking account at age 18. I am now 22 and my credit is in the high 700s.

try buying online, the deposit might be different

also, if you have absolutely no credit, my store can do a request to get it down to $150

try going to a store in your area and ask them if your credit application came back "Z class"

if it did, there should be a way to get a $150 deposit

Anyone in CA know how to do it here?
