Unless your parents have bad credit, you dont have to pay that much money up front. Most cell phone companies have it where you get a basic (starter) phone free and just pay for the plan. The plan varies in cost depending on how many minutes you plan to use. You can also look up the websites of cell phone companies you are interested in for more information.

thank you xD >_< i never knew cellphones costed 500+ >_> xDDD

i wonder what companies cheap...

[*jooleeah*]

You should look up the websites of the cellphone companies to see if they have any deals or plans that are less than $500. There should be some.

Edit://What company does your mom use?

I've never heard of that.

ACTUALLY... it DOES depend on what plan you get.

For example, if you get a plan with T-Mobile with a yearly contract for the $39.99/month plan, it costs about $50 for activation fee or something, I believe. 12 x $40 = $480. Plus the $50 activation fee. That's about $530 total that you'd have to pay (it all adds up), if you DON'T go over minutes. Not to mention that if you also get a high-end cell, it'll cost more than $530 overall. Or you could get a low-end cell and the cell is free.

And yep, Kiera's right--if you have bad credit, you have to put at least $500 down for the cell. I heard because they want to make sure you have the money for it.

unless if ur friends actually pay for their own phones and know what actually is paid, pfft.

as christina said, it varies from plan to plan. usually 30-50 buck range per month i think. and there for signing up with the plan, u have to stick with the company for x amount of years, or u can pay like, 50-100 bucks to cancel it altogether. overall, it does cost 500+ bucks.

or u can just get a rock and paint buttons on it and pretend that it's ur phone.

my dad got 4 cellphone for the price of one(verizon wireless) at radioshack and the bill for all 4 phones is about $500 a month so go figure =). oh plus when he first got them it was a $10 activation fee for each of them.
