Hey, can someone help me with something basic on the current iPhone plans from Bell? I realize the plans might change with the new iphone... but:

Bell has the $50 monthly fee, but it says to get Call Display I need to pay $40/m extra for some stupid combo pack? Is this reality or is there another way to get Call Display without paying $90/m. I'm happy to pay $50/m + $x for call display.

My phone is almost 6 years old so maybe im coming from a new era. Do we even need call display nowadays?

Thanks in advanced.

Very good question, I'd also like to know.. :)

What Does July 30th Mean.

iPhone 4 Will Be Able to Be Pre-Ordered

Or


iPhone 4 Will Be Sold At Bell,Rogers Etc.

Hopefully both if everything works out. If any carrier does noy release it on the 30th then that would be bad for them

10 days to go.

I like the way this guy thinks!
 
Question...why is Rogers advising their employees not to speculate on a July 30th release? That kinda makes me nervous. All I know is if it's not released on the 30th I'm going to get stabby! lol

haha, stabby sounds familiar, is that a Simpsons reference?

It's really stupid. They could simply ask employees to say it'll launch on July 30th and as of now we don't have any other information.

Everyone is assuming Rogers gets it. But nothing is official until they say so everything we have been hearing is speculation.

No where on rogers.com/iphone does it say July....

But really if Rogers, Bell ANDTelus do not get it on July 30th then that would be terrible

haha I'm not sure where I heard that from, but yes it was probably from the Simpsons or an alike show. :D But in all honesty though, I will get stabby! Come on Rogers, get to work already!

My money is betting that they will launch on the 30th...just can't figure out what all the secrecy is all about....maybe like you said earlier Draz, they are keeping it hush hush just so they can surprise us with a great announcement.

Guess we'll know soon enough.
 
Well Bell's website says Launching July 30th.

So we know Bell will get it for sure. I doubt that Rogers will be left behind.
 
Has anyone in this thread ever used Zagg invisible shield before?

I'm thinking maybe I'll purchase Zagg for the front and back of my IP4 and just keep it in a vertical belt clip leather case. I read it also comes with a side protector film to cover the antenna. They say it will stop any issues of poor reception due to death grip.

I'd love to hear some thoughts on Zagg, good or bad if you've used them for your 3G or 3GS in the past.

Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out.... http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/apple-iphone-4-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

Thanks in advance!

I am currently using the invisible shield on my 3gs. I really like the shield as it offers great protection and comes with a lifetime warranty. That being said, I don't use one on the screen anymore because it is not entirely invisible. It gives the screen a strange texture similar to an orange peel. I do highly recommend it anyways.

Also, if you have never installed one before set aside some extra time as it can be tricky. I suggest you watch the installation videos on zagg.com before starting.

I know the iPhoneInCanada site loves Zagg them but I opted for a wrapsol Ultra
www.wrapsol.com
They gave me a coupon code: chatter

Anyway, my plan was to get a bumper too and put it on with the wrapsol skin.

I heard wrapsol's first batch was bad but you like me am waiting to put it on to know for sure.
 
I used a skin from FullBodyFilms on my 3G and while the back started to yellow and peel after about a year, the screen cover was absolutely invisible and found it to be head & tails better than Zagg for clarity. No "orange peel" whatsoever.

This time around, however, I opted for a custom design from GelaSkins for the back & sides. We'll see how that goes, might still go for a screen cover from FBF.

wow that's great thanks for the link....it's a tough decision between Wrapsol (first I've ever heard of them, but product looks great) and Zagg.

The Wrapsol is a couple bucks more, but not by much.

What to do, what to do??
 
Guess not eh. Omg Rogers. Maybe tomorrow...

one can only wish but I think we will not hear anything until Friday at the earliest. Rogers loves doing everything last minute. I wouldn't be surprised if we had to wait until mid next week to hear anything about upgrades.

Also, who wants to take bets that the rogers HUP system will crash on launch day.

Fair odds are probably 1000 to 1 that it WONT crash.

I wish rogers would just admit "Hey, it costs us too much to increase the robustness of our system for one day a year, so you guys will just have to wait for hours and hours to get your transaction complete" I'd rather this than just being surprised by waiting until 1pm every launch to leave the damn store.


ugh.....even though ATT has a crap network, at least its well prepared for every apple launch (in terms of communication surrounding pricing and HUPs)

Question : I currently don't have any cell phone but I really want to get an iphone4, I checked the plans and I wanna go with telus. So how does it work... Can I just go to telus store on the 30th and buy one with a new contract or do I need to buy one with apple??

You can go to either of the places.
They will activate the phone for you at the Apple store too.

Go where you will get less lines, more phones.

Go to Telus. I am not certain that you will be able to purchase anything except full price, unlocked phones directly from Apple.

Until more info is confirmed, if you know you're ok with a contract, just go to the carrier on launch day.
 
Hey, thanks for the fast answer.

And if there's preorders from apple do I need to tell them I will be with telus because I don't get that unlocked iphone thing.

sry new to smartphones ;p

Preorder info is still to be determined. But if it comes to that they would ask you what carrier you want
 
And it I get a 500mb data plan can I still upgrade it or change it to a 1GB plan whenever I want or Am I stuck with the same plan for 3 years ;p
