What information do I need to buy next iPhone (5S or 6)?

Here's my dilemma… My wife has an upgrade due through for verizon and we're not the primary account holders… She does not have a smartphone or a data package. When the iPhone is released to buy online from apple store what info will I need to buy? Also I'm planning on getting the phone only to sell on eBay for more money… Will the iPhone be activated when it is ordered and data package set up or can I call verizon when I get the iPhone and say that I just want to stay with get phone without adding data? Best answer will get max points I'm allowed to give.

You will need to be authorized on the account by whoever the account holder is. The iPhone will not be activated until it arrives and you activate it because it makes no sense to send an activated phone that could potentially be lost or stolen and then used on your service by that thief. It also makes no sense for you not to have the phone that is activated while waiting for it. You will be required to add a data plan when you buy the phone.

Oh, and you can't decide how many points to give the answer you choose. It's 10 points.
