All post-paid monthly (contract) cell phone plans require a credit check.
Each carrier has their own requirements when doing a credit check and
some are easy to get a cell phone through and some very tough. Below we
have a list of carriers in terms of how easy/tough it is to get a cell
phone through them in our opinion. If you are sure about your credit and
know it is good then you may purchase a cell phone from any carrier. If
you are not sure and your credit is not great then increase your chance
of getting a cell phone by buying from a carrier in the easy/medium categories.
If you do not have any credit at all, you should also purchase from a
carrier in the easy/medium categories.
