Yep, a credit check is par for the course, even for SIM-only contracts (ie bring your phone). This generates some extra cash for the telecoms by forcing some people to the much more expensive pay as you go plans.
- anigbrowl 17y agoMuch more expensive? I've used MetroPCS for years and I just pay a flat $50/mo., which gives me unlimited national calling, texting, voicemail etc. If I had a blackberry I think the data plan is about $75/mo. I might possibly do better on some other carrier's plans, but the convenience fact or having a flat fee and not having to keep track of minutes is worth a few bucks to me.
- mattmaroon 17y agoThat's not a pay as you go plan. That's just normal service on an MVNO. Pay as you go is where you have no monthly fee, and buy minutes ahead of time and have to re-up when you run out. That is way more expensive on a per-minute basis but much cheaper in total for people who carry phones mainly for emergency purposes.
