  • Canadian Carrier Telus Slashes iPhone 4 Price to $99

    Canadian Carrier Telus is the first carrier to slash the price of the iPhone 4 to CAD$99 ahead of the iPhone 5 launch.

    Users signing a 3-year plan (and I though two years was bad) with telus will see the price of the iPhone 4 drop from CAD$159.95 to CAD$99, but the offer is only available until September 7th. The end date to this deal seems a little odd considering the latest reports peg the iPhone 5 launch date on October 7th, with pre-orders starting September 28th or 29th.

    Other reports are claiming that Best Buy could be offering the iPhone 3GS for free with a two-year plan starting August 22nd in conjunction with a major promotion leading up to the new iPhone's launch.

    This is only the beginning to what is likely going to be a very long month of waiting and retail and carrier specials.

      Just one problem, Telus is a joke. They're owned by Bell

      3 years is too long to be locked into a contract. Period.

      i signed up with Mobilicity and got a $25 unlimited plan including data. I tether my iPhone 4 to it lol! $50 is a rip-off.

      With most Canadian carriers, contracts are 3 years but you can get a upgrade after 2 for the same price as a new contract

      Well you'd have to sign a contract in Canada, so no, not really.

      You can't buy a subsidized iPhone from the Big 3 (Rogers, Bell and Telus) without a 3 year contract. They are all in Cahoots with no competition, offering the same plans at the same price point.

      lol.. perhaps thats what i should of asked in my area, there are only 2 GSM carriers and only one of them has the 3G freq which the iphone uses. so, only one GSM carrier for the iphone. but we also have CDMA version.
