just want to give some quick advice on how you can get around the bad credit (even if you have good credit they still may ask) deposit
Many people know that virgin is knew for asking for deposits from people that do not even have bad credit and it can be aggravating. here is a neat little loop hole that i have done myself and it worked with no issue.
Me personally i have... not the best credit, i made some stupid mistakes when i was 18 and i am still paying for them. so needless to say when i when to get a new cell phone everyone turned me away even virgin mobile. so i decided to get a prepaid "dumb" phone and just use that. well then i was thinking that if i don't get a new phone and don't sign a contract and just go month to month they probably will not do a credit check, or have lower standards seeing as you are not getting a brand new phone, and it worked they put me on a month to month and i stayed on it for 2 month and thought i would test my luck and try to get a new iPhone and to my surprise i went in to virgin told them that I would like to upgrade to an iPhone they looked at my account saw i was on month to month and next thing i new i had a new iPhone in my hands, they just did a soft credit check on me and to see if i was paying my bill, once they saw that i had no issues they signed me up for 3 year contract no problem.. since then i did it with my girlfriend and added her to my account and it worked then too.. i signed her up with an android and took it and gave the the iPhone... Now i know this works from experience but it does take some time.. like i said i stayed on month to month for 2 months, i feel that that helped build a little rep between virgin and I... so give it a try if you need too
