[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 330354, member: 1963"] Well, the deposit is likely because he has no established/poor credit. In order to get a first cellphone account, at the very least you need to show you have been working and living at the same job/place for some amount of time--the usual stuff that comes up on a background check. If he's going to be paying for usage anyways (and I have my doubts), why not just get him a tracfone or similar with a few prepaid minutes. He can then buy more minutes as needed. If he doesn't pay? Well..."inhales to be you, doesn't it?" He can still call 911 in case of emergency, so long as the phone is charged. It doesn't matter if he has an account or is out of minutes, so that's one worry off your mind. [/QUOTE]
