1 quick question... need answer asap please
 

I have to buy an iphone tomorrow immediately because I need someone to bring it back for me to Asia tomorrow. Can anyone please tell where I can get an Iphone without any phone plan?

Just rogers or Fido? Would I be able to get it just a bit cheaper somewhere else?

Quick help is appreciated

:)

You can walk into any cell phone place to buy an IPhone without a plan it's just you'll end up paying A LOT for it..

Where in Asia are you going too?

expect to pay alot...

650 bucks pre-tax. Without contract I believe.

craigslist. a lot are still wrapped unopend.

But if your friend is going to Asia, why not just buy it there?? Can't imagine it being cheaper here especially with the taxes and stuff

Actually he said that in HK it around $4500?

got my 16g iphone for $6200 and 8g for $5400 in hk without contract
price may have dropped

I got it from fortress (kinda like furture shop) so its more expensive but i dont have to worry... !

Oh, if you buy it from a store here, you won't be able to use a foreign sim card in the iPhone. And since you aren't going to sign a contract meaning you wont have a Rogers or Fido sim, you are just buying an expensive iPod.

That is some A1 information right there.

Not questioning you or anything... but is this true though? Cause one of my friend bought the phone here and brought it back to Taiwan:confused:

^ Then most likely he is kicking himself in the balls and wishing he had read this post.

His friend might have unlocked/ jailbreak? (based on assumption) or roaming on Roger/Fido which =$$$$$$$

It depends when he bought his iPhone. If it was within the last month or so and has the updated baseband, then he wont be able to unlock his iPhone. The OP is looking to buy one today and all the phones distributed now that are brand new in the stores all have the updated baseband which is currently unlockable.

HK iPhones are not locked that's why they are more expensive
Fido / Rogers ones are locked and will need to get jailbreak in order to be used elsewhere

also keep in mind there MIGHT be more phones from Apple coming out in June

oh my god... sorry for being retarded... totally forgot about the lock and unlock thing that needs to be done with the rogers/fido phone

ROFL... yellowsnow my friends...yellowsnow

Uh...you know that only works on the older basebands and with the new iPhones on the updated baseband with a 5.9 bootloader, you still can't unlock it yet. So essentially, your post is garbage to the OP.

it's not garbage, if he went to pickup a used one that's still locked. don't be such a hater LOL
