It's different with every carrier. I work in sales activating for Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile and ATT is one of the most difficult company to get service with. I have done a credit check that will require $500-700 dep with ATT, but 0-$50 dep.line with Sprint. T-mobile also has a relatively lenient credit check. They never require a deposit, but you may have to pay for the first month in advance to get their service or full price for the phone... As far as getting more for your $$, Sprint is the best. Let me know if you have other questions
 
Honestly, I'm not sure if I have good or bad credit. I have student loans and haven't missed any payments on them, and I've had various credit cards without late payments. I have however had a credit card and an overdraft that went into collections while I was out of the country, but everything has been paid off now.

Will this be bad enough to not allow me to pass the credit check and not get a plan?
