Default Will T-Mobile allow co-signers

I currently have a FlexPay account with T-Mobile, and would like to switch to an actual contract. (Part of it, so that I can get the new Curve for less than $500). My grandmother has offered to co-sign for me, since I really don't have credit.

Does T-Mobile allow co-signers. I've never tried to do this with them before . . . has anyone ever had an experience with this? What exactly happens with someone co-signs?

I don't think they do. If credit isn't good they make you pay a month in advance. That's it.

I have no idea just call them up and ask. Their CS is good and they'll definitely be able to answer your question.

They have a FlexPay contract version for people in your situation with little/no credit. Call them up and inquire about switching or go to tmobile.com and browse their details. They do not require a deposit for either version of FlexPay

Tmobile requires min credit requirements. Go to a tmo and get you credit for free an they will tell you instantly.

How long have you been on FP?

Normally as long as you have not missed a payment they will normally switch you over after you have had FP for a year.
