there are a couple ways i know of:
1. craigslist
2. buy the phone on a 3 year deal, then cancel the contract and pay the penalty. you'd probably be on the hook for a minimum of $650 plus taxes this way.

i doubt it's any cheaper. and if it is, it's nominal.

The iPhone can only be bought on a three-year contract (in the States it can only be bought on a two-year contract). There are unlocked ones available online, but expect to pay ~$1000.
Easiest way to get an iPhone is to find a gently used first-gen phone off eBay or Craig's List. Lots available.

In installer, don't install KATE..
It's a cool program but it disables the ability to dial out on the keypad, check recents, voicemail etc. that whole menu freezes. And when you receive a call you cannot end it. The other party has to end it lol

Anyone know where I can download the classic cellphone ringtone? I don't want a music ringtone and the ones on the iPhone suck, including that marimba one or whatever it is called.
Just the standard classic ringtone (not the Jurassic Park one) but the ones on a blackberry. Thanks

i've figured it out, i had to download an app from itunes (computer) then selected them to sync and that corrected it!

Im on Fido, but my network is 100% always on Rogers. I have not seen a Fido network on any of my phones since they have merged. Im using the old city fido plan, so maybe that's the reason.
Anyways, having +1604 should not affect anything. It's just the country code. I have never heard of this problem on any phones.

i just called rogers tech support and the chick told me all rogers phones do it, there's no way around it and to return the call, you actually have to manually re dial the number without the +1. i told her that was the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard and that i didn't believe her. now i'm on hold waiting for some expert from the programming department.
update: bitch got pwnd by the expert. he removed something from my account and now it works fine on the redial with the +1. i was all "well whaddaya think of THAT, hunny?" and she's like "i'm going to get them to fix my phone, because i have the same problem"
bunch of clowns.
