I don't know of any cell phone company that regularly reports to any of the CRA's. It seems they only report the negative stuff, especially lates.

no, it will only report for nonpayment AND is sent to collections. so it'll never positively impact your credit report

T-mobile will not report however they might have pulled your credit before allowing you to sign a new contract - I believe that creditors can pull your CR with just a address & name.

No, only thing reporting wise would be an INQ for new contract and/or a collection for non-payment. They will not report as a tradeline for normal reporting.

Well, I would like that changed. If an entity can report the bad, they should also report the good. I don't think I'm asking for too much.

I agree, same goes for all regular monthly bills (utilities, rent/lease payments, etc).

I agree. I guess only Congress can create a bill requiring that if you want to report neg, you need to report pos too. I wish mobile, cable, electric would report. Even if they only reported annually or very rarely.
