I order all of my phones for my family using this site now that I have gotten it all figured out! We all use basic phones in my family so we don't even have to pay a cent. However, this site also has the cheapest rates for smartphones as well. I know it sounds to good to be true buy here is how this company makes their money: Whenever someone orders a phone from Wirefly and gets a contract with a network, that network pays them a commission. The other way they make money is on people who don't read the fine print. The fine print goes like this: (I recommend skipping the reading because I will summarize it)
Wirefly promises you savings in the form of
instant discounts with no rebates or gimmicks when you sign up for
wireless carrier service on a 2 year agreement. We are able to offer
these great discounts because we get paid by the wireless carrier for
having helped them get (or retain) a good customer. Delivering on this
promise means that you must agree to maintain your agreement for a
minimum of 181 days after activation. If we are notified by the carrier
that they are not going to pay us because your phone has been
deactivated during this period, then this may lead to additional
charges.
To provide you with significant savings vs.
buying in a retail store, the price you paid for your device includes an
Instant Savings Discount from Wirefly.
By accepting this Instant Savings Discount,
you agree to repay $200 of this discount ($400 for smartphones, tablets,
and netbooks) and authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment
of this amount if, you signed up for a 2 year agreement and during the
181 days after your new equipment is activated, your wireless carrier
notifies us that the services you purchased have been suspended,
disconnected, or deactivated, or if you return your purchase outside of
the return and exchange provisions of our Satisfaction Guarantee.
Other than simply deactivating a line we’ve activated, your wireless carrier could notify us that you deactivated if:
- You fail to pay the carrier in accordance with their terms and conditions
- You transfer equipment we activate on one line to another carrier line, even within the same account
- You activate this equipment on a new line of service with your current carrier and use it to replace an existing line by deactivating the existing line.
