Do I need credit to get a cell phone plan?

Question

I want to open my own cell phone plan with Verizon. Can I do so without having any credit. It's not that I have bad credit, I just don't have any. I've just turned 18 recently.

Answer 1

no but the deposit, if any, might be more

Answer 2

You won't get a credit account with Verizon unless you have your parents co-sign or good credit. I had no credit and could easily get a contract with T-Mobile. If you don't want your parents co-sign then you might have to pay a high deductable.

Answer 3

My kids have a pay as you go phone called net 10, available at wall mart or target. The phone cost 88.00 and you can buy 300 minutes for 30.00 and last 2 mos. No contract, plans or credit cards.

Answer 4
