The easiest way to become an authorized wireless dealer would be to
buy into a franchise store that already has pre-existing contracts
with various carriers. In todays wireless market you will need to
offer more than just 1 carrier choice. Some franchise stores require
investments upwards of $100,000 USD.
A good example of a wireless franchise opportunity:
