Likely only apple. Rogers or other telco's may sell it contract free, but it will likely be locked to them still. If you want contract free AND unlocked, go to Apple.
I looked on Google Maps, i only saw 6 or 8 Apple store's in Canada....

So, can i walk into a roger's or telcom store and buy a iphone 4 contract free?? unlocked???
FACT: Only Apple will sell the iPhone 4 or 3GS 8gig unlocked.
Damn, The problem is that there are only 10 apple stores in all of canada. wtf???? :O
You can also order online from Apple.
1. Month-by-month means that you can cancel at anytime without penalty you are not under contract. You have to tell them that you want this type of plan, they will complain and offer you free stuff if you sign up for 3yrs but if you want this plan you have to bug them for it. So yes it is like signing up for a $50/month plan but not being locked down for 3yrs.
2. Rogers might claim that some plans aren't offered on month-by-month but you can get nearly all plans on a month-by-month offer.
But if the month to month plan costs the exact same as a 3 year contract plan, what makes a month to month plan worth it? Assuming you want to be on a plan for the same length of time...
You're basically paying $300 (iphone) + $50x36mo = $2100
vs
$800 (iphone) + $50x36mo = $2600
So... what's the point?
Alright, so I'm wondering if someone could tell me some stuff to say to get some deals when the iP4 comes out. Here's my complete situation:
-Looking to get an iP4 with a plan <$50/month
-Been a Rogers internet and cable user for 5+ years
-Also on my family account is my brother's Nokia cell which he pays around $70/month for MY10 Nationwide.
-I want unlimited text, caller ID, visual vm, and 1gb of data.
Is it possible?

I'm a little torn about whether I should just get a 3GS. Honestly, the 3GS would be enough for my needs, since I don't really see myself using FaceTime and I doubt I'll use HD video much. But I like the idea of improved camera, nicer screen and higher storage capacity on the 4 (if I got the 3GS it would be the unlocked 8GB one from Apple).
The 3GS is still a very nice phone. But consider that you can easily transfer stuff from the phone to the computer at anytime, do you really need all that space?
But it is up to you and what you want... If you want wait a week or so after launch for the Apple store as well as your cell phone store to have a demo iPhone 4 on hand and also a 3GS too, try it out, take some pics, record some videos, and then decide. I wouldn't line up on launch day or pre-order one if you totally aren't sure you really want something that you have doubts about.
That's like the best plan of all time!
How long have you been a customer and how long did you have remaining on your contract when you made the call to retentions?
So when you call C/S and say "I want to cancel" they'll automatically send you to the retention department right away??
I've been a customer for at least 4 years, have always had bills in the hundred range and now have 2 years left on my 3 year contract. My plan is like this....
$30 - 150 day min. Plus double your minutes and an additional 50 minutes on top equalling 350 day minutes total plus free evenings and weekends
$9 - starts my evenings and weekends at 5pm
$20 - iPhone value pack - call display, visual voicemail, unlimited text and picture messaging and who called
$30 - 6 gig of data
$2 - name display
$5 - auto roadside service
They also give me a $5 credit every month, I forget why that happened though.
Plus system access and 911
Do you guys think I can do better??
yes you can!!
here is my bill to look at, this was after 2 calls , once you threaten to have a better deal at another carrier...in order to cancel you go to customer retentions which HAVE the power to make almost any deal they want with reason to keep you.
i have been a customer for 2 years with internet, my phone bill used to be 80 a month....now you can see its 63...with some other charges...normally its 55 or so.
Hello, Another question. srry for bieng annoying.
but,
Can someone from the USA order a iphone from the canadian site and have it shipped to a USA addrees??? Or it has to be only Canadian address???? Or can someone order a from a canadian site at all using a USA pc?
thnx
I know I heard somewhere it has to be a Canadian address, but it wasn't from an official source. Best thing to do to know for sure is contact Apple Canada and ask them.
Canada Apple store only ships to an address in Canada. US store only ships to US address. If Apple stores shipped outside of their country thousands would just have ordered from Hong Kong, Australia or other countries where it is illegal to sell locked phones.
Ok, thats fine, i have relatives in canada. and can someone order from a USA computer on the canadian apple site???
Did you guys hear Rogers is opening a new telco called Chatr (I think that's how it's spelt, as in "chatter")
they should worry about current customers rather then another brand.
rogers while, less coverage and usually more expensive has the best customer service and it truly is the most reliable network (that i have experienced all across canada).
my biggest pickle with rogers is that there network is mostly EDGE unless your in or close to a major city, where as bell i get coverage almost anywhere and its always 3G.
i will most likely stick with rogers for the time being, they have cut my internet bill in half and significantly decreased my cell bill.
