How to Pre-Order the Apple iPhone 5C on 4 USA carriers, Apple store, Walmart and Best Buy.

Apple.com: The 5C is now on sale via Apple's website. Choose one of five colors - white, pink, yellow, blue, or green - and select whether you want a 16GB or 32GB smartphone. With a two-year contract on AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon, the 16GB is $99 and the 32GB is $199. An unlocked version via T-Mobile is $549 (16GB) or $649 (32GB). Apple is currently listing a Sept. 20 delivery date.

T-Mobile: T-Mobile recently switched to the "un-carrier" model, meaning it no longer offers two-year contracts like its top rivals. As a result, you now hand over a one-time down payment and then two years of monthly payments. With the iPhone 5C, the 16GB has no down payment and will run you $22 per month for 24 months, while the 32GB is $99 up front, also with $22 monthly payments.

With the iPhone 5C, the 16GB has no down payment and will run you $22 per month for 24 months, while the 32GB is $99 up front, also with $22 monthly payments.

AT&T: AT&T is offering the iPhone 5C with a standard two-year contract at the $99 and $199 price points. Those who opt for the carrier's early upgrade Next program, meanwhile, can get the iPhone 5C 16GB for $22 per month, while the 32GB will set you back $27 per month.

Verizon: The 5C is up for pre-order on the carrier's website. You can commit to a two-year contract and get the phone for $99 or $199, get the device on a month-to-month basis for $549 or $649, or opt for Verizon's early upgrade Edge program, which costs $23.06 per month for the 16GB for 24 months or $27.15 per month for the 32GB.

Sprint: The carrier is offering the 5C with a two-year contract for $99 and $199, though from now until Oct. 10, Sprint is offering up to $100 off on any phone when you port your number to Sprint. So new customers could conceivably get the 16GB iPhone 5C for free. Sprint has a note on its website that says it will do its best to deliver the 5C by Sept. 20, but it might take up to two weeks. The yellow version of the 32GB iPhone 5C, meanwhile, will take up to three weeks.

Walmart: The store will sell the 16GB iPhone 5C, in all five colors, for $79 with a two-year contract, a $20 discount. Walmart will start accepting in-store pre-orders on Sept. 13 at the customer service desk. You can then pick it up on Sept. 20 or wait until Sept. 21 to trade in an old smartphone for a further discount through Walmart's new program. Pre-orders must be picked up by Sept. 25, Walmart said.

Best Buy: The big box retailer is accepting pre-orders in stores. It is also running itsregular iPhone trade-in deal between Sept. 13 and 16, though it applies to a new iPhone 5.
