    Save up some money, buy the phone unlocked.. or wait until you're 18 and can get credit.

    Also, tell your Dad that his "credit score" is just a meaningless number dreamed up by CRA's to enable them to sell to punters, ways of improving their "credit score." If you see what I mean.
    The only thing your dad should concern himself with is his credit record.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
