AT&T not accepting cash for iphone 3G!!!!!?

Question

Why!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? I can't beleive it! I knew apple wasn't accepting cash for iphone but AT&T!? How could they do this to costumers?!The law should get them for this because it's not fare to people who don't have major credit cards! People should be aloud to pay cash for anything! I was worrying about this all month long! I knew in the pit of my stomach! I called 1 day before the 11 and they said we had to make a $750 depostite! That is realy the reason i didn't get it because we originally had to pay $500 deposite we have no clue what happened! Now i will never get it because of the is ******* credit card stuff! It is not fair! My question is why?!!! I waited a moth for nothing! wasted my summer vacation for this!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

You have to sign a contract for 2 years with AT&T and they run a credit check on you. I find it ridiculous to pay $500 for a cell phone when your credit is poor. But then I am not 19 anymore :)

Answer 2

You are not just buying a phone - you're signing up for a service.  That's why.  Life ain't "fair" sometimes.
