My credit is bad I have a free iphone and want to activate it at AT&T will they allow this?

I have a free iphone and want to activate it. I am worried they will deny me an AT&T phone plan when I am at the store b/c of my poor credit. I have this from mistakes in the past which have been corrected but they wont know this. Will they allow me a service plan or will I just get embarrassed in front of strangers?

iPhone credit check for existing AT&T customers?

I’ve been with AT&T/Cingular for about 5 years now, and I’m about to get the iPhone, but I was wondering something. I know that a credit check is in the set-up procedure… but do existing customers have to go through it? If so, why? They obviously know our credit history if we’ve been paying our bills for X-number of years.

The reason I ask is because my mom has really good credit, but she just co-signed on a big loan for my brother… and she already failed to co-sign a loan I need for school, so I doubt she’ll pass the credit check for Apple…

Do existing customers need to go through the credit check process when setting up their iPhone through iTunes?

iPhone 3g says slide for emergency when restoring without an at&t sim. How do I fix it?


I bought a used iPhone 3G jailbroken (and I don’t have at&t) and tried to restore it via itunes in order to sync my music. Now my iphone is stuck on a screen that says “slide for emergency” and I don’t know how to get out of this. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Does a unlocked iphone on the tmobile network work just as good as a iphone on the at&t network?


I heard that unlocked iphones with a tmobile network have trouble connecting to youtube or websites? So just wandering if the unlocked iphone is any different from a iphone from at&t.
