Postpaid Phone Apps

What phone companies does a HP on your credit file? Who do they pull? I know AT&T only does a SP when you open a line

Re: Postpaid Phone Apps

I know T Mobile did yrs ago. Verizon does. Thats how they gauge down payment or not. But its been a few yrs. Friend owns a Wireless Zone in NY.

AT&T does a HP.

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge I have learned from these forums. I am logging off as of November 9, 2022. I wish everyone great success.

Re: Postpaid Phone Apps

I opened my VZW account almost 10 years ago, so I don't recall, but I believe it was only an SP. I know new lines/phone upgrades are only an SP as well.

A friend just opened a AT&T account and it was a SP, it even said that when it said run credit.

I used to work at VZW, they pull Equifax. It was an HP when I worked there, but it's been an SP for years now.

I've been with Verizon since 1992, and just switched to T-Mobile this morning. So far no HP, and they pull TU.

Re: Postpaid Phone Apps

New service with Tmo is an SP on TU.

VZ SPd my EQFX when I was with them.
