Billing

What is a credit card authorization?
A credit card authorization allows the renter to possess a rental cell phone and to receive other services from PandaPhone without having to pay a deposit. Upon receipt of a cell phone rental order, PandaPhone processes a $200 authorization on the renter's credit card which permits the credit card company to set aside a $200 charge against the renter's credit card for three business days. The credit card authorization also allows PandaPhone to not charge the renter for services received until the end of the rental period which most renters find beneficial.
