How do you give a cell phone as a Christmas gift?

Answer 1

This answer is dependent on whether you are gifting a pre-paid phone or a contract cell phone.

THIS answer is fine if you are simply gifting someone a pre-paid cell phone:

Put it in a gift box, wrap it, let them tear it up and watch their expression.

BUT, if you are gifting someone with a contract cell phone, you will need to either:

1. Have the person set up an account in their name with one of the major cell carriers, then you pay for the phone the person wants to use with their new account, or:

2. Add a line to your existing account, purchasing the phone you are gifting the person with to your account.

THEN, you can wrap the phone and give it to that person on Christmas.

You will need to purchase the phone a day or two before you plan on gifting it to the person. That person will only have 14 days to decide if they want to keep the phone you chose for them or trade it for another phone they would rather own.
