require for purchase

understand I realiE a deposit would have been required eventually but it was the fact that I had to PAU the deposit in order to purchase the phone. I might have then signed onto my uncles account as a family member. No credit check required thAt option was available on the activation screen on iTunes on line.
therefore the fact that they advertised your choice of credit check in store or just buy the phone and do paperwork later was not honored at all. I had a choice to walk out the store at that moment and not purchase anything. But after reading the ruled and getting in line for hours. I was determined to get my phone. I am complaining of the method used to attain new accounts buy dangling the phone in front of me with threat of deposit first .
