When you buy a cellphone over the internet how do you know your credit is approved?

Question

My question is basically what it is above. My grandmother is in a different state them me. And She's going to get me a cell phone and plan under her name. And I'm paying for it. I'm thinking of doing it over the internet because, it cost 50 bucks less. And Before I put in all the information and stuff how do I know her credit is approved? Do they send me an email or something. Do they send my phone before I know her credit is approved? By the way I'm getting Verizon Wireless. Please if you can help me I will select yours as best answer and give you 5 stars. Thanks so much to everyone who answers.

Answer 1

If her credit isn't approved, you'll get some kind of message when you order it saying that it's not going to be shipped.  If in doubt, give them YOUR e-mail.

Answer 2

Chances are it will be approved and they will ship it out no problem. They would probably call you or email you if it was denied. I think you can go ahead and order and within a week or so will probably recieve your phone. Happy Sailing!
