Cell Phone Bil in My name for friend?

Question

I did something really stupid last year.I got 2 yr. cell phone contract from Sprint in my name for male friend. He never paid. Now I am getting letters from collection service Can I get out of this or should I just consider lesson learned and pay?

Answer 1

cell phone company doesn't care. but, you can take him to court if you can prove that he agreed to pay the bills. if you have proof that he was paying when you got the phone, then you're set! take him to court. good luck!

Answer 2

You are stuck with the bill because it is in your name.  They will tell you that they don't really care what you did with the phone - the charges were made and in your name.  

You got it right - pay up and count it as a lesson in the school of hard knocks.
