Quoting
Dogmatique
Personal feelings I may or may not have aside (someone grab Jimmy for me and him know), the bankruptcy code does not prevent you from buying a phone.
Unless (hypothetically) you (hypothetically) have a simple no-asset Ch 7, you'd be better off having a sit-down with an attorney. If - and this is a HUGE "if" - you can commit yourself to reading up (bkforum.com, is a great site) and educating yourself, you may be able to do it all yourself (with a copy of NOLO's Ch7 book perhaps)
I was able to successfully discharge (in a no-asset Ch 7) old tax debts, and we have the "release of federal tax lien or whatever it says" document in a nice frame.
It can be done.
