get credit score

Question by Chardy:
Do you need good credit to buy an iPhone 4?
Just heard a rumor that you actually need to have a good credit score before you can buy an iPhone 4 or you have to fork out $ 400. Is this real? I used to be signed under a family plan phone, but I threw out the phone because of ——-beep——— . LOL. Now, I need a new phone.

if you don’t have an at&t account already then they will check your credit. if you don’t have a high enough credit score, then at&t will make you pay a security deposit before you sign your contract. this would be true for any phone you want to buy, not just the iphone. the deposit is usually $ 400, but you get the money back after you make 6 on time payments.

if you are still on the family plan, or already have an at&t account, then they will not check your credit.
