Who are you with currently?
There are that many Rogers/iphone people?
A lot of Rogers/Fido iphone unlocking services are available on Ebay for less than $10 CDN, where Telus, Bell cost $70+
or does it mean most people don't want Rogers and need to unlock it for other providers?



Rogers/iphone 5S

dont get it.
cell unlocking is free in most cases--call your provider XD i feel like the general public doesn't know this. Many of the unlocking services just end up calling the provider for you and charge you a small fee.

Just call them up, tell them you need it unlocked for biz travel as you're always on the road...and they'll do it up. A law passed some time ago that required them to unlock when requested.

Rogers charges $50.
This thread wasn't about unlocking. Just wanted to see who the most popular provider is.

So you are trying to determine provider popularity based on unlocking cost?

Well, that's what made me wonder.
I don't know how unlocking is done, but seems like there are number of sellers on Ebay battling to get Rogers/Fido unlocking customers lowering prices every single day by dime or so.
I unlocked my friend's Fido iphone for less than $9 CDN.

and it doesn't happen with Telus/Bell.
Why? maybe because more sellers invested on Rogers unlocking equipment/software (I really don't know what they need) because there are more Rogers/Fido phones out there. More competitions - lower pricing.

Stop calling me a dumbass and tell me who you are with, asshole!

All my work phones have been with bell or Telus. I think rogers/fido are the most popular among the retail crowd...

I have the Bell equivalent to this. 6GB data with unltd calling to 10 numbers anywhere in Canada. 200 daytime minutes, ultd text/MMS and enhanced VM.


CSR called me trying me to switch to a new plan.. all i had to say is "look at my plan again" and they knew they can't touch it, basically admitted that i should stay put "but they have to ask".

one guy ended up adding 100 cdn LD minutes for 1 dollar.


compared to the best legacy corp plans my plan sucks, but compared to today's retail offers it's very good


I got my phone from Rogers on a promotion and unlocked it online for 15 bucks. Now I use it on Bell's network and with any simcard I want in the US or Europe.

My plan is $40 for unlimited talk/text Canada/US and 500mb data. If I go over the data limit I get charged a flat fee of $10 and I get an extra 10gigs (IIRC). So $50/month unlimited.

Mine is some old school corp plan.

Pretty much unlimited everything + 6gigs for $50 tax in.

What i don't have is that Visual Voicemail (which is an awesome option for iphone) ...To cheap to pay 10$ for it though.

It's not even that cheap.

Having been in the industry, it's pretty easy to do.

However, you'd be giving up a ton of personal information to some joe blow for an "intangible" item (plan switch).

They will but I need to bump my price plan up by $20 for less gb. Yeah that makes sense lol. In reality buying the phone outright vs. Paying more into the plan over 2 years is about the same. But fuck giving Rogers more money.
