The credit check is done for purchasing a phone on a device payment plan and it is used to determine if you will pay $0 down or a % is the MSRP as a down payment. It is also done in some cases when signing up for service on a postpaid account. For obvious reasons.
I haven't seen any credit check for dpp. But obviously when you open a post paid account then they will do a credit check. You might be able to opt out of a credit check if you pay a deposit.
