Why yes, that is a bag phone
Hello guys,
I need some advice. I got an offer of $500 for my white iPhone 4, 32GB (only two months old...I thought Apple was going to change the design, so I upgraded through Rogers). However, I do want to upgrade to the 4S, but my other line I currently have, I upgraded in May of 2010. I have a couple of questions.
1. Since it's been about 17 months, am I able to upgrade (I know I need to pay an early upgrade fee)? Is it $15/month or $20/month? The phone I have on that line is a BlackBerry 9700.
2. If I'm able to upgrade, can I go to the Apple store on Friday and HUP through Rogers? Or are they only selling unlocked phones at the moment?
3. Should I dish out another $350 for an unlocked 32GB?
Thanks for your time. Really appreciate it!

1. No idea.
2. If it's anything like in the past, you can definitely HUP at Apple stores. The phones come unlocked but are locked upon activation if you're not buying them at full price.
3. Do you need your phone to be unlocked, or do you just want it to be to say it is? I find that's the case with many people for some reason, heh.

pretty sure its $20/mo for blackberries and smartphones.
should eb able to at apple store, i have before.
if you NEED it unlocked, yes. I do, i travel every month for work, howwever most people, as mentioned just do ti to do it. It does help resale value down the line, but no where near what you will pay extra.
Lastly, you would be paying(i think) $319 + $260 + $35 for the upgrade = $614, if it is $20/month. a 32gb unlocked device through apple is $749. At that point, it is almost worth the extra to go to apple to spite rogers IF you travel every while and use your device while you're gone. I can easily save 200 per trip if i use my unlocked phone vs my locked one. You see, rogers jacked up the phone price by 50 adn then had a 'rebate' which in terms is not a rebate, because apple sets the prices points.. so, they are jsut charging more and offering a credit to look nice rather then actually offering any type of promotion as they have in the past.

if you really want to upgrade so early, simply buy from apple store.

I'm fully eligible... But off-contract, so I'm not sure whether or not I want to renew just for the 4S.

If you're not sure then wait for the iPhone 5.

Why are those prices $50 higher than the advertised price?Originally Posted by IrishWake

I would assume it's because there's the $50 mail-in-rebate on top of the offer. It's the only way it makes sense, since I haven't done a HUP since September 2008 and am off-contract.

So for the honour of staying with Rogers you have to pay HST on an $50 higher price and deal with the hassle of a mail-in rebate. That might be enough to make me switch.
Have you heard anything about this assumed rebate?

That's decent of them. I've never seen a mail-in rebate that included the tax.
Will everyone who qualifies for a fully subsidized HUP get the rebate?
