credit check with value plan?

Can I use any tmobile phone with prepaid or just the ones listed?(those kinda suck)
I was thinking about getting the samsung exhibit

You can always get a different phone than the ones that T-Mobile offers with their plans. I have a prepaid plan ($70, 5GB/unlimited, no contract, no credit check) and I bought my Samsung Galaxy S2 from a local fellow on Craigslist. All you need is the SIM card, which comes free when you sign up.

Yes a credit check is required for a value plan. You can use any T-Mobile phone, and most unlocked phones with the prepaid plans. Sim card is free like John Jason said. All you will have to pay for is your first month up front, and a phone if you choose to buy one. There is a $50, $60 and a $70 plan for Unlimited Talk, Text and Web. The $50 comes with 100MB of fast data, $60 with 2GB of fast data and the $70 is 5GB of fast data. You don't even need to give them a real name if you don't want to.
