 Social security? Why the heck would someone give a cell phone company their social? That sounds so asinine.
 They use it to link you to the phone.  It's regulations
 @AdamOutler, Well if you want them to check your credit.
 But to get a cell phone or cell phone service bit isn't required.
 Yea for the credit part.
 It is actually required for all post-paid plans. They also use it to report accounts to collections if a person runs on their bill aside from financing/etc
 Pre-paid of course is not bound to this as if you dont pay your bill, they just shut off your service. Nothing is owed at that point
