I heard that the main reason companies do a credit check on you and want you to sign a contract is so that they can give you phones at a discounted price. And if you choose to pay full price for a phone (or not get a phone at all), you don't have to pay a deposit or sign a contract.

I really want the Palm Pre 2, which I can get with the developer discount making it around $250. It'd be unlocked so I can use any carrier I want.

Does anyone know any carriers that would let me get service with no deposit if I don't get a discounted phone from them? My credit is horrible. I really like sprint, and although they have the cheapest deposit ($150), it's still too much if I'm not even getting a discounted phone from them.

I'll check out some places tomorrow but does anyone have any ideas where to go?

Edit: Seems t-mobile has "flexpay" which is basically their version of prepaid service. This would be perfect except they're probably a little pissed that I never paid them the hundreds of dollars for the early termination fee. Anyone know any other major carriers that do this?

Verizon has prepaid cards you can use.

Just pay the deposit, they give it back to you by the end of the 1st year, and it's a small boost for your credit
