Canadian Carrier Telus Slashes iPhone 4 Price to $99

[Phillip Swanson]

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.

for those who arent from canada, telus is pretty shitty. and 50 dollars gets u nothing. caller id, 100 minutes, unlimited txt, and 500 mb of data, very minimal, but whatever, this is good i guess lol

Wouldn't 99.99 Canadian still be around 149.99 American

Ummmm....ya no. Try using a currency conversion site next time. $99.99CAD is roughly $101.30 American.

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

Wind does not have the iPhone

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.

Telus isn't as big as Fido...

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.

Living in Canada sucks!!!!!!!!lol
