You can help expedite the order by reviewing your info before submitting an order and by including a daytime contact number where you can be reached. And check your e-mail for status update. The most common reasons why we may need to contact you before shipping your order:
    Carrier-related:
    - You ordered a new activation, but you already have an account with the carrier
    - Credit check info is incomplete or mistyped
    - Carrier requires additional identity verification
    - Carrier requires a deposit
    - The service plan you selected is no longer available

    - For our customer's protection, we may need to verify your credit card/identity with your financial institution.
    - Your products are backordered

Occasionally, we post the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for popular products that are out of stock. Otherwise, we do not offer ETA on products, due to industry intangibles.
