Well yes, but also no. Buying a house or getting a mobile phone (a car too, but less so) are pretty essential parts of functioning in society.

Who the fuck needs credit to get a mobile phone? lmfao

As a brit who moved to America with a company sponsored visa and half decent full time job I could only get a 250 dollar credit card and a pay as you go phone.

If you’ve got a half decent job why do you need a credit card at all? And what’s wrong with PAYG? Phone contracts are for chumps!

I’d settle for an android that’s fully functional and programmed in multiple techniques.

It’s even being involved in job interviews and renting a house. I’m sure a bunch of others as well.

Sorry, we can’t just hire someone who’s in debt. Maybe come back in a few weeks when you’re in better shape financially.

My wife and I both have shit credit score, we still got a mortgage at a preferable rate based on our income and job stability alone.

Sorry to say, credit score is a meme

why do you need to take out a loan for a phone?
just go and buy one outright if you need it?
