Buy the iPhone 3G from Rogers/Fido With No Contract (STARTING JULY 24TH, 2008)

[TraxApparel]

Hey Everyone,
Just spoke with Fido, and they have announced that they are allowing people to buy the new iPhone 3G without signing a 3-year contract starting July 24th, 2008. They were are many complaints from customers that are under a contract and are not eligible to purchase it on the day it was released up until now. Don't spend over $800+ on the iPhone 3G and buy it off those who already signed a contract just to make money because your wasting your time and money. The 8GB is going to be $499.99 +Tax and 16gb is going to be $599.99 +Tax. Prices are unconfirmed, because it can be more or cheaper. Look on the Fido or Rogers site when it gets more closer to the date.
Thanks for reading and have a good day!

I'll believe it when I see it. The last things Rogers/Fido has been over the last few years is consistent. They've completely kiboshed the entire iPhone ever since version 1 was initially announced. If it weren't for my retention plan, there is no way I'd be with them right now.

IF they do the no contract option im willing to bet it will be about 200 more then the prices you listed (unless the catch is that you already have to be tied into a contract to get these prices). Im glad they finally came to their senses if this is true. Not because I want one anymore but because it gives me a bit more leverage with Telus when I go to buy the Touch Diamond. LOL

Had rogers given me this option a week ago when the phone came out id (unfortunately) be a rogers customer right now.

So all the people who bought an iPhone and tied into the 3 year mandatory contracts will all be able to get out of them because they're well within their 30 day period?

no, bc it's also within 30min of usage. and they will have guaranteed gone over that.

+1...

$400 for the 8GB with a 2 years contract makes a lot more sense than $400 with no contract. As much I as love the prices to drop I just know that when two greedy business men like Steve and Ted are together, you shouldn't ask for a hot deal.

+1 This makes more sense.

HUP is $350 with a 3 year, +$50 and make it 2 years (1 year contract = $50 off) is consistent with previous phones.

[Badman]

yea I could see the $399 price for 8GB iphone being on a 2 year contract and $499 for 1 year/No commitment.

[BrianJai]

YOO THATS SO GOOD! i was planning to buy 16gb for 800 bucks omg!! this gunna be a save :P

[Salinger]

If this is true, I just have to believe that the backlash Rogers faced previously for their original iPhone plans will be nothing compared to the venom they're going to face from the (according to their own marketing people) tens of thousands of customers who bought the iPhone and were forced to sign a 3 year contract.

Now, barely two weeks later, they're offering it no-contract?! I wouldn't want to work in Rogers' call centre when this hits the fan.

[dairymandip]

sure, at&t is selling the 8 gig for 599 and 16gig 6or 599 and suddenly rogers wills ell fro 399 and 499?

ya right, probably 399 and 499 with a 2 year contract

[kingsley]

With all these talks about 2 year contracts, how does that help with HUPping?

[Lulz]

LOLOL.

I like that in US, they sell no contract iPhone3G for $599/$699, but in here in Canada it will magically be $399/$499?

Not real.
