should work fine there are so many credit classes it's pretty hard not to get accepted call 1800tmobile and they will tell you what you are or are not approved for

I called 1800 tmobile number they said they can't tell this thing unless until you apply for new connection. That's why I was looking for an fair idea about credit requirement to get approved.

sorry should have been more specific, call the number and apply for a new acct, the sales rep that you talk to will be able to tell you within a few minutes what you're qualified for, you can also request a flex pay acct, this is either contracted or month to month, if you go month to month you will pay more for the phone to start up, if you go contract you will get a pretty good break on the phone or it will be free depending on what you choose, but it's a great way to try the service

Or goto a store and say "hey I wanto see what it costs to start a neew acct". Should take 5mins. Bring your Id.

It looks like it's hard to be denied T-Mobile service... I have an old debt that went to collections 4 years ago and I was approved for a regular contract with them back in July.

ive heard them and sprint have the lowest requirements from a friend who has a dealer that deals in everything except verizon. only reason he doesnt do verizon is he says "they dont pay out well and that their deposits are to high for his customers" as his store is in a mostly lower and middle class neighborhood.

TMOB service is good for what your spending. if you are sure it works for you then i say go for it if thats what you like

The credit policies aren't set in stone... It's best if the OP just go and try. He/she may be surprised. People with a few credit dings are approved for contracted service with all the providers all the time... Although some are more flexible than others. When I signed up for Verizon back in 2005, I had a $125 deposit requirement at a third party kiosk... But I waited a month later and I was approved at the corporate store without the deposit.

in downtimes during the year it is amazing how bad your credit can be, but bottom line if you get denied with one carrier another will approve you SOMEBODY is going to get your business.
