Wirefly.com is a legitimate business and a seasoned veteran in the online cell phone hardware and plan sales business. Wirefly is certified by both TRUSTe and VeriSign for safety and good business practices. They also offer a money-back guarantee on any hardware and plans purchased, minus shipping.

On the Other: Brick-and-mortar Stores Have Benefits

Any time a product or service is purchased online, the customer lacks the face-to-face interaction with an employee in which questions can be asked and terms can be cleared up. Wirefly's bright, flashy website may overwhelm some users, causing them to purchase extra hardware or services they don't necessarily need. If you do not keep your contract for 181 days, you will need to refund the price of the phone.

Bottom Line

Wirefly.com is not a scam. It is a trusted company to do business with. Even better, they offer many high-end phones for free, which literally cost hundreds of dollars to be purchased from the carrier directly. That said, if you as a customer want to discuss your contract and hardware directly with your chosen cell phone carrier, it may be well worth it to shop directly in order to ensure you know what you are getting into.
