Cell phones and credit history

[boardqueen]

I have heard that cell phone companies can report if you pay your bill on time like a credit card. I was wondering if this is true and if so what are the stipulations? Can they report if you just cancel your account and don't pay? is it if your service is interrupted, or if it is simply late? I know they do a credit check when you first open your account but what about afterwards?

Credit is credit and when you fail to pay for a sevice the was sign and agree upon by your signature you loss. Nothing is free in the world..

They wont report to the credit bureau that youve paid every month on time and in full. Phone companies only report if its going to screw you - even if you dont owe any money or ever even had an account with you.
