All carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint) have websites where you can buy the cell phones and pick the plans and stuff. I'm not sure if you would have to call or anything though. I believe that going to the store is WAY easier (personal experience) because it's less likely to get tricked into paying extra. That way you can ask questions so you know there's nothing wrong.
