does at&t need to check your credit when you activate?

i'm not really sure on tthis. do they check your credit? and how long does it take before your iphone is activated? thanks

You don't activate your phone through at&t you just buy it from them. You activate it through itunes. I don't know of any credit check, but I was an existing customer.

yes they will check you credit

they didnt check mine. But, I have been a Cingular (now AT&T) customer for yrs. I would assume it would depend on whether you are a new account for them or migrating from a regular account to an "iphone account" setup through Itunes.

yes i assumed it was a new service he was going for :smile:

if you trying to get new service with them, then yes they will. I dont know of any cell phone company out there that doesnt check your credit before signing a 2yr contract, unless you are renewing and are already an existing customer, hope that clears up the confusion. if you arent currently an AT&T customer, then yes, they will check your credit.
