Galaxy S10 Release Date: Tips & Tricks

You Need Important Information to Order

Buying a Galaxy S10 will require more than just a credit card number. You will need some very specific information on hand and it's important to gather that information before you order.

First, make sure you have your carrier login information ready. That includes the user name and password for the account you'll be using to buy the Galaxy S10.

If you aren't the primary account holder, you'll need to get the information from the person in charge before you can proceed.

Make sure you have your Social Security Number (or the account holder's SSN), and the account billing information ready to go when you go to order.

Some carriers might require you to ship your order to the primary billing address so if that's not your current shipping address, you'll want to address that before you try and buy one. 

If you plan on going into a store, you'll need this information as well. You also might need the primary account holder to authorize you to make the purchase so make sure they look into.

Over the year's we've spoken to people who are unable to order their dream phone because their credit card won't work.

When you buy an expensive item like the Galaxy S10 from a retailer you don't normally shop at, it may be flagged as fraud. If you don't normally buy expensive items on the card, it could also get flagged due to the Galaxy S10's price. 

This matters more if you plan to buy the Galaxy S10 without a contract, but it's an issue that can affect anyone, not just those with the biggest upfront cost. 

If you plan to use a debit card to buy the Galaxy S10, you should have a backup credit card handy just in case.
