Buying your cell phone online

The authorized agent, in this case Wirefly, will charge your credit card for the equipment price -- IF you pass the carrier's credit check. The monthly recurring charges are then billed by the carrier.

If you do not pass the credit check, you may be asked for a deposit or given other options like a phone and plan with a different carrier.

Hope this helps.

Take my advise, if your credit card is not charged, have them put a block on the transaction and cancel the deal. Wirefly is a scam outfit and doesn't pay rebates.
