I just checked the link above.. it's fine. no redirects

I think you probably got some adware.. run your antivirus.. AVG.. Microsoft Security Essentials.. Norton etc to try to remove it..

I sure hope the release is smooth, quantity plentiful and that everyone that wants one can easily get one in the fastest time.

I basically have the same but quite a bit more "overage" minutes, unlimited texting, and unlimited picture messaging

My bill is $64 taxes in every month, I think I could probably shave off a couple bucks here and there but I don't feel like spending another 2 hours on the phone with retentions

fucking Rogers

so i've been chatting with their retentions dept for 2 days and I finally get through the web site but there's all these hidden fees each time I get further in the process.

so this is what its going to cost me for an early upgrade:
32gb $329 (with a $50 credit back after)
early upgrade fee $80 (i normally get this waived since i upgrade about every 1.5 years but they said they cant since its an iphone5)
$35 activation fee
$40 reservation fee (is this scam or what???? reservation fee??? wtf???)

i think i should just buy the phone from apple, fuck ROGERS!!!!

as i posted in the robbers retentions thread,

i spoke to a retentions agent and they came out with a new incentive today for customers who are upgrading to the iphone 5. any customers who has an early upgrade fee of $100 or less will automatically get that waived if you upgrade to the iphone 5. this will not apply to any other phone.

maybe you should call them back and make sure you speak to retentions, not just a regular CS rep.

Logged into myrogers account I was eligible for every phone they had as an upgrade so it will be rediculous if I'm not for the 5

Called into Rogers to check eligibility for upgrade and pricing on iphone 5. I am eligible and here are the prices quoted:

16gb: $229
32gb: $329
64gb: $429

Anyone else think this pricing is kinda ridiculous?

http://www.rogers.com/web/content/Apple-iPhone-5

16gb: $179
32gb: $279
64gb: $379

I'm speaking to them as we speak and he quoted the same price. You will get a $50 credit on those prices. Which is gay because the $50 credit will just put the phone price on a regular 3 year term price. Basically the $50 credit is a scam lol.

ok I've been out of the phone game for years now so I've become more of a newbie now a days. Is unlocking an iphone different from unlocking any other regular phone? I keep seeing people talking about unlocking iphones and sometimes the difficulties with it so I'm not sure.

I'm considering buying a brand new Iphone 4 (Yea old but beter than my 9780) for cheap but it's locked to Fido, I'm with Rogers. I can get this unlocked and working on my Rogers easily correct? Can I just walk into a Fido and ask them to do it for a fee?
