LG Wireless Phone

cell phone plans (att verizon ect)?

my family had tmobile for a long time (like 3-4 years) but in June we got rid of them because they sent us a $500 bill and we couldnt pay it. But since then, we have tried to go with ALLL companies (verizon, att, boost, nextel, sprint, everything!) but the rates were so much. We would need 4 cellphones. For Verzion, they needs a $2000 deposit and $400 per line (just line, not phone!) it was crazy. Then ATT Wanted $2600 and $400 per line&phone. Sprint only accpet 2 phones and wanted 800 per extra line within a year. Are these normal!?!?!?!!? My dad and mom both have really (like. realllllly) bad credit and going without phones has been heck for us. No one can get in contact with my dad at work and he has forgotten about myself and sister at school (i was left there for 2 hours cause i couldnt get in contact with anyone!!!) We do have prepaid phones, but we are paying like $200 a month per phone (4) and my dad and sister go throught their minutes in like 2 days! What can we do? Are there any ways we COULD get an actual company name plan without paying these outrageous rates? MY parents dont really want to keep up with the prepaid because its getting so expensive and hugely annoying to have to keep my minutes! no no no, i realize you have to pay a deposit but YOU payed 100 dollars not 1000! I am wondering if 1600 is a normal amount.

1. Sounds like it's ringing true. If you have poor credit, they'll ask you for a deposit. I had to pay an extra $100 to get started with AT&T about 4-5 years ago but after a year, I got that money back. For a couple of months, I didn't have to pay any cell phone bills! Sweet! Is it possible for you yourself to get a phone alone and then gradually add everyone on later? You'd still have to pay a deposit, but I think you might be able to get around paying +$2000 dollars.
2. Hi,I have a great solution for you.I just signed up with a company selling Verizon airtime.You can use the verizon phone you have as long as it is clear of any past bills.You can bring your number also ,again as long as it is clear of any past bills or contract.The cost was an unbelievable $ 39.95 a month.Only $10 to activate.They had me done in 15 minutes when i got a new number.I was very please with the customer service.They answered me in 30 minutes.The plan i mentioned was for the unlimited talk 'N' text.They have another for $29.95.You get 1200 min 'n' 1200 text.I went with the unlimited for $10 more so i can not worry about it any more.This is a great solution to your problem. I know there is no credit check or deposit.I strongly recommend this company.
