Some of my friends got T Mobile, Sprint, and then one who has Verizon. The two who have t mobile and sprint say they never get good service in my area. However Verizon just set up a communications station only miles away from my house. I dont have credit, but I do have luck.

Well, Sprint and Verizon work hand in hand so as long the area has coverage from one provider it shouldn't be a problem.
 
A friend of mine's credit is in the toilet. T-Mobile wanted a $500 deposit from him. My wife didn't have any previous credit history, and Nextel wanted...$200 maybe? Mine is only so-so and I got both with no deposit 🙂
 
I didn't pay a deposit on my sprint account. At the time my FICO was under 500. I just had a $125 limit, which dropped off after a year.
