iPhone 4 Purchasing Methods

Canadians will have three methods to get their iPhone 4:

1.) Canadians will be able to order the unlocked, full price iPhone 4 16/32GB in Black through the Apple Canada Online Store starting Friday July 30. Any online orders are shipped to the billing address (no store pickup).

2.) As an alternative for the unlocked iPhone 4, customers can also visit their local Apple Store to purchase an outright, unlocked iPhone 4 starting Friday July 30. There will be line-ups this weekend.

**3.) **For customers that want iPhone 4 locked on contracts with activations or upgrades (usually with promotional pricing), visit your local Apple Store or Canadian wireless dealer (Rogers, Bell, Virgin, Fido, Telus) store starting Friday July 30. There will be line-ups this weekend.

To summarize, if you want your iPhone 4 IMMEDIATELY, do either method 2 or method 3 above.

Please note that the iPhone 4 is limited to two per customer.

Anyone eligible for an "upgrade" is strongly advised to call Fido and request to be transferred to "Retention Department". Do not go to local stores.

Depending on how good you are with words, you can get upto 40% off your monthly payment plan.

Otherwise, (If not eligible for an upgrade) just head to a local store.

Good luck.

Eligibility for an upgrade: Less than 6 months before the expiration of your contract!

P.S. And NO! I am an Auditor working at a reputable Auditing firm.

So I called Fido’s “Retention Department” and threatened to switch to Bell if they dont offer a good deal on Iphone4 to me and this is what I was offered and I accepted:

  • 250 Outgoing Minutes
  • Unlimited Incoming
  • Weeknights and weekend unlimited from 5:00 p.m.
  • Unlimited text
  • 100 picture messages
  • Call display, voice mail
  • 6 gigs of data

All for $55.00 plus tax per month.

Bad news:

I have to purchase an Iphone4 for $159.00, then call back and give them reference number to apply the plan…and There is NOWAY, I am wasting my time standing in a line !!

So I have an awesome plan but no phone for couple of days!! Ughhhh. :cryb:

Edited later: I also got 100 long distance minutes too. :d

Okay, I called back to see if I can do better. (Yes, I am greedy…:()

and this is what I got final offer and I accepted !!

$17.50

  • 200 daytime minutes
  • 5:00 pm evenings & weekends unlimited

$30

  • 6 Gigs data
  • Visual voicemail
  • Call display with name display
  • Unlimited text & mms (Picture Messages)

$10

  • Unlimited incoming (or choice of instead 200 bonus minutes )

-$7

Credit applied to the account but not to any element of my package, which means that I can adjust/remove any of the above and never loose my $7 credit

Total: $50.50 plus tax = $57.07

Plus, I still have to purchase an Iphone4. :cryb:

So I called Wireless Waves Store right beside Radio Shack at Square One mall to inquire about Iphone4. I wanted to make my purchase from there because of a prior positive experience. There was this totally unprofessional desi dude…

He was multi tasking, talking to god know who while being on the phone and giggling like an idiot. His answer was “I dont know” to every question of mine. When I asked him around what time do they normally recieve shipments? his response was “it is classified” as if I was asking him about guns!!

Anyhow, I went to Apple store today and got an Iphone4 and the best part: I didnt even have to wait for 10 minutes !!!



Edited later: this phone rocks !!
