Yes and it has been said on other sites that if you put in a something like 999-99-9999 you will then in turn be offered pre-paid service for the iphone.

anytime you give out your SS # you inturn have upped you chances of fraud but thats life.

Right, because writing down your SS number on an application and handing it to a 16 year old kid working at a kiosk in a mall reeks of safety.

I dont see that you ansered the question. You said the phone has a credit check built into the phone. It doesnt, you still want to push that story?

They do run one in the store but you insist on saying its built into the phone.

Any device that allows you to sniff packets can be broken but what does that have to do with this?

I do find it funny that your spelling gets better on here everytime jsanders tells you to clean it up.

Not a single link you posted mentions anything about a "built-in" credit check on the iPhone. They each speak of the CSR being suggested to do a credit check before you take the phone home and giving you a multi-digit approval code to enter into the iTunes app, but there is not a credit check built into the device. Read your links again.

Why would he? He doesn't even bother watching video clips of the same thing. It would seem he's as thorough at checking his sources as he is his spelling.

Newsvine - Why the iPhone is as Worthless to Me As My Crippled Legs

Practicalmadness by David Demaree | iPhone Service Secrets Revealed!

While the SIM card is technically removable, the activation process is done entirely through software. Even if you have an existing AT&T phone, you canxxx8217;t just swap your SIM card into the iPhone xxx8212; you have to tell AT&T to switch your account over to the iPhone and its built-in SIM card.

The entire signup and activation process is handled via iTunes; as far as I can tell, not even AT&T salespeople will be handling activations for it in-store. This includes every aspect of switching to the iPhone, including porting your number from another carrier and letting AT&T check your credit.

The really interesting edge case here is gonna be what happens when someone with shitty credit buys an iPhone retail box for $500-600, brings it home and goes through the whole 15+ screen activation process, only to find that they canxxx8217;t actually use it because AT&T wonxxx8217;t give them an account.

You do know that plagiarism is illegal right?

Ok, I can't figure out what you just posted, but I'm going to assume that you're trying to argue with me.

When you copy someone else's words without providing credit to them, it is considered plagiarism, and thus, illegal. This is exactly what you did.
