Working for Telus Mobility, I can assure that every credit check you do counts against you as far as credit rating goes. I haven't applied for credit in over a year I think and mine is still low. It's the reason we've changed our credit policy so that if you activate more than one phone, you only have to do the one credit check. Doesn't matter what it is or how much you're looking for. They assume that if you have money, you don't need credit. If you need credit, you must not have money. It's a dumb system that doesn't take into account things like home phones and such where you have to do a credit check.
