Why do cell phone companies not report to credit companies, yet they to check your credit and charge you a depoist to get a phone? Some how that doesn't seem fair to those who have poor credit but can afford to buy a phone. Although I will say if you have bad credit pay your bills before adding another expense to your list.

The weird thing about cell phone companies is they don't report when you pay your bill on time. They only report when you owe them money. LOL. You only pay a deposit for bad credit, of course, because that's just how credit works. LOL. Punish those who may have made a few mistakes. I don't thnk people intentially mess up their credit. I mean when is the last time you heard someone say "Hey. I refuse to have good credit. Let me think of ways to mess it up."? LOL.

probably because they are a service like a utility.
they are not actually loaning you money.
just charging for a service they provided.
