AnOnYmOuS Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Question for you guys. I currently use a blackberry (I know) on Bell with about a year left on my contract. I'm interested in getting the iphone 5. Can I simply purchase the iphone 5 say from Bell or Apple, can use it for the rest of contract using my blackberry plan? Or do I have to pay out my contract and get a new one with the iphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown33429 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Agreed. 80 percent of the people who buy an iPhone have no idea what they are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 You have to buy out your contract or you buy the phone for regular price. You only get phones on discount with a contract, with a year left your looking at paying cancellation fees. Contact bells customer service, let them know your getting a better offer at Rogers with a new phone, and ask what they can do to keep you as a customer.

AnOnYmOuS Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks bro for the tips. But can I use that calling Rogers method even though I have a year left on my contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamikazeWatermelon Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Is the WIND25 plan compatible with the iPhone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyzer Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I have a iphone with a major career. Stupid move. I'm locked in for 3 years at approx $85.00 + tax per month. Most months my bill is more than $100.00 that because I go over the 500mb included in my plan. I love my iphone but not the plan it came with. Waste of money really. If you get an iphone go with one of those pay as you go plans. You can go to future shop and get a plan for $45 unlimited talk and data. Can't beat that. And you are not locked in at all. It's month to month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Don't get the IPhone 5, I heard its just a bridge for IPhone 6 which will be the greatest technological advance our society has seen. Wait for the 6! That is until the 7 comes out of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yes, using fido might be better because they have cheaper prices. Ask them what your cancellation fee is and they will probably ask why your asking. Let them know fido offered you an iphone 5 with a great price at around 50-60. Mention stuff like how long you've been with bell and that you would like to stay but for the right price. Hopefully they transfer you to their retention team where they always have the offers not advertised on their website or at stores and you get yourself a good deal.

GoaltenderInterference Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I always wondered if someone with a newer IPhone would snub someone who has a previous model. With all the perpetual bashing it would seem that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Singh Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I knew some people who, when the iPhone 4S came out, complained that there were no physical differences between the 4 and 4s; they wanted others to be able to tell right away that they had the newer model.

Markus Alexander Cody Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I had an iPhone 3GS and switched to the S3 just a couple weeks ago and so far I'm loving it! The battery life is amazing, no idea what that other user said about crappy battery life. Don't worry about the screen size because once I started using my S3, I got used to the size and when I look back at using an iPhone, I was wondering how in the hell I could survive with that tiny screen. For me, I would've gotten the iPhone 5 as well just because it was able to sync with my Mac and iMessage and all that stuff but at the same time, when I switched phones, the S3 was $0 at Telus so I just had to switch to the S3 to try it out. For my plan, I've got Fave 10 (unlimited text/call to them), nationwide calling, 2000 texts, 1GB data, unlimited calling after 6pm and weekends... I'm with Telus and I pay about $65 a month. Also got a whole crapload of extra stuff that I shouldn't have all for $65 just because we know someone who works with Telus. Honestly, I should be paying at least $85 a month with the type of contract I have. So its up to you. iPhone 5 isn't bad but so is the S3. As for plans, and serviceability, go with the Big 3. WIND and Fido have TERRIBLE call receptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
