I've heard people talk before about signing up with AT&T and using an iPhone legitimately with them instead of unlocking it and using it on Fido or Rogers. That may seem like an ok idea until you realize the costs assosciated with doing that. It is definitely not a good idea.
Here are the costs:
-iPhone monthly plan -$59.99
- Roaming package for Canada:
-- AT&T Canada $3.99 per monthWith AT&T Canada, get our lowest rates when you travel to or call Canada.
--59¢ per minute while roaming in Canada
--19¢ per minute when calling from the U.S.
--Outside this destination, standard rates apply.
- Pay per use data roaming rate - $0.0195 cents per KB (almost $20 a mb)
- Or you could get a data roaming plan:
-- $24.99/month: 20MB Data Global Plan gives you 20MB
-- $59.99/month: 50MB Data Global Plan gives you 50MB
-- $59.99/month: 50MB Data Global Plan gives you 50MB
-- Overage rate of $0.005 cents a kb
Other problems incurred:
- You will have a USA phone#
- If you want a Canadian phone # you will have to get a forwarding # which costs extra
- Your friends and family will have to call you long distance unless you have a forwarding #
- You might have to get someone from the US to set it up for you
- It will cost a fortune.
Summary:
Buy an iPhone at the Apple Store and unlock it yourself. Use it on Fido or Rogers.
