Can getting a cell phone contract help your credit score?

Good question?

It might be hard to obtain a cell phone contract if you have bad credit, but can obtaining a cell phone contract and always paying your bill on time help your score?

cell phone companies dont report your on-time payments so it will not improve your score but if you do not pay your bill they will report it thus lowering your score. Credit cards are the best way to build your credit very easily
