| 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..

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

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

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.

Cause one of my friend bought the phone here and brought it back to Taiwan  | |

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
