What percentage of people get turned down for a mobile phone contract?

I've been having alot of problems getting a mobile phone on contract, as have friends, just curious really as to what percentage of people roughly get turned down when applying for a mobile phone on contract|||My friends and I pretty much all qualified for 5 phone line contracts (like we needed them) with Verizon when we were teenagers. I had very little credit at the time (albeit no debt, late payments etc) so I was very surprised. Verizon tends to give contracts to everyone so check with them if you have not already. Not sure your age or credit history but if you have absolutely no credit (ie have never even had a credit card in your name) I would start by getting one as this helps build credit. Good luck
