Many companies will check your credit when you try to sign a cell phone contract. They will also usually ask you to pay for the phone after you sign the contract. You may get a discount, but that discount doesn't always cover the entire price of the phone. However, if you've never owned a credit card, and you have no way of paying for cell phones, you can still get free cell phones.

Hop on a family plan. Many cell phone companies have plans where a family member can get free phones to give to other family members just for signing up for the plan. If you have a family member with a cell phone, ask him to go to his cell phone provider and inquire about a shared family plan to get your free phone.

Use Worldmall. Worldmall gives free cell phones to people without requiring up-front cash or a credit card. Go to Worldmall to select your free phone (see Reference section).
