We look forward to building a lasting relationship with you.
--------------------
I doubt that. Sadly, I went to act on a deal on the site...filled out all the information...and they said they could not take my account information. Lack or credit history, I guess. I am only 20 years old, I don't have the best credit score I imagine. Although I have never had late bills, and have been steadily paying car insurance and a few other montly bills on time every time for over 2 years. I'd like to know how to build credit in today's world, when every time you apply for a card you are denied for "lack of credit." Well, no kidding. Give me a chance and maybe I can build some.
The T-Mobile site wanted me to have a Smart Access account. I was willing to try it until they said it was a $75 fee. T-Mobile doesn't trust me to pay $46 a month so they are going to charge me a one-time fee of $75? Yeah, I could pay it...but why should I? If a company doesn't want my money I guess I could always go elsewhere. I won't though, since T-Mobile has the best rates. I'll just stay cell phone free for now I guess.

Don't blame T-Mobile....blame all the people who are currently delinquent and avoiding their bills. Companies have to do everything based on credit history to protect their assets. I am sorry you feel 75 dollars is unjust, but other companies may charge you upwards of 125 to 250.
In addition the 75 dollars is a deposit which you will get back at the end of a year of service, so it's not like we are stealing your money. We are establishing trust with you.

Technical Care, that is inaccurate, the $75 is an activation fee for a T class (credit rating) customer and is non-fundable. Based on your credit ToWhateverEnd you prob wont find a cheaper activation fee/deposit.

I stand corrected...my activation knowledge is weak......but yes a $75 dollar activation fee is cheaper than a hefty deposit....the downside is that it is non-refundable, but T-Mobile is basically taking a chance on you based on your credit history....althought your credit may not accurately reflect who you are as a person towhateverend, companies don't have time or resources to interview your personality before you get a cell phone.

lol, my friends father, who is currently (note: CURRENTLY) $25,000 in debt, was approved for T-Mobile. If they want to trust someone who is so far behind on paying his credit card payments that he's over $25,000 in debt...well, good luck with that T-Mobile.
I'm just not going to pay a company $75 to "earn" my word. They should have a sense of trust established as soon as I get into a 2 year contract with them. I'm already bound for 24 months...now they want $75 also? I work a steady job and I've had the same job for 3 years...if they can't trust me to pay $45 a month...then I don't know what to say. I'll go elsewhere.

Let us know what you have to pay for a deposit when you go elsewhere.
