흑인 라디오 스테이션을 듣다보면 ComStation이라는 통신사에서 광고 가끔 하는데 거기서 "Everyone is approved, Guaranteed. We have preapproved plans for everyone regardless of your credit or situation. We can pre-approve you for Sprint, Nextel, T-Mobile or Revol on most phones without a social-security number or contract required" 이런 식으로 말하곤 하는 것 같았습니다. 하이스트릭에 있다고 했는데 찾아보세요. 근데 정확히 잘 알아보시고 하시길 바랍니다. 광고는 그렇게 하는게 뭔가 딴게 있을 수도 있으니 말이죠.

what about prepaid phone? Is that requare deposit?

If you are going to get a prepaid phone, you do not need to pay deposit. No contract, no SSN, and no nothing. All you have to purchase is a prepaid phone and its calling card.
