why cant you buy a cell phone with bad credit?

you can Trekphone and MetroPCS have specialized in people with bad credit (not sure if still true after merger with t-mobile)

I think if you paid full price and bought service monthly you could with most companies

why

well think about it

u need a contract

and u must pay it each month

and if ur credit is bad

they may not get paid

and u would be a huge waste of their time

someone with good credit

cares about paying their bills and on time
