T-Mobile Pledges 'Smartphone Equality' for Credit Challenged

Jan 22, 2015, 10:10 AM by Eric M. Zeman

T-Mobile CEO John Legere posted a video blog today announcing Smartphone Equality, a new program that will help customers with little or poor credit get the best deals on devices. Legere explains that more than 100 million people in the U.S. have credit scores that prevent them from qualifying for many of the carriers' $0 down and no-interest device payment plans. Beginning next week, any T-Mobile customer (prepaid and post-paid) that has made 12 consecutive payments on time will automatically qualify for T-Mobile's best smartphone sales and prices even if they still have poor credit.
