Yes, but they will charge more for the new phone and extend the contract.
It still helps your credit and will make you more likely to be approved by those same companies for your own credit card.

If you are a joint account holder you can still use the card. The creditor should be notified of the death of the other account holder. They may simply remove the person from the account or require you to open a new account in your name. However, if you are the joint holder you are responsible for the entire amount owed on the account.
