[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 702180, member: 1963"] Either cell phone companies/resellers don't check credit anymore, or they have very low standards. I was very lucky that I already had an active contract when I first moved up North. My credit was so bad with the fresh bankruptcy and foreclosure that I couldn't open a checking account. My phone was with Verizon and the only service with decent coverage was Altel. Altel didn't want to open an account for me until I begged them to call Verizon to verify my payment record with them over several years. Once Altel spoke with Verizon, they were willing to open a basic account for me. I dealt with abusive collectors both before and immediately after the bankruptcy. Abusiveness, calling if asked not to call again, threatening, calling at work, calling and threatening relatives not listed as contacts, etc, are all illegal, as is calling more than once per day and calling outside of business hours.
