Actually im sorry i don't work for them or something i just know some of the promotions they're running...but as for the deposit you can run your credit and if you have a high deposit they can set you up on smooth pay, which you have to have a debit or credit card to set up auto pay, you pay 150 at the time of activation and it is applied towards your first bill. You do have the option of paying an extra 100 to not have a "contract" as well..but bottom line is they will do a credit check...
