The answer

The sale of financial credit has details:

1. If it is highly probable that the buyer will use it for permissible things (like calls and messages), then the sale is permissible.

2. If it is highly probable that the buyer will use it for impermissible things (like gambling), then the sale is forbidden, due to its involvement in cooperating in sin.

3. If the buyer's situation is unknown, and since the majority of credit usage is for permissible things, then the sale is permissible.

This applies to everything that has both permissible and impermissible uses. The default should not be prohibition, due to the hardship involved.
