it helps if it's a new activation or you just bought new hardware (i didn't)
they said i was a loyal customer because I've been with them since 2015 and have auto-payment set-up haha
so it looks like they value retention just a bit more than Rogers

I'm thinking of buying the X from the States, but apple.com doesn't have unlocked X's available for order yet. Do you know if I could buy one that is locked to a US carrier, unlock it, and then use it here with Koodo? If so, which of the 4 US carriers should I choose? TIA.

If you do manage to find an Apple store that will sell you one, go for the Verizon one as it comes unlocked out of the box. The Apple rep also mentioned that T Mobile is also unlocked out of the box but I haven't seen anything that says this.

Couldn’t hurt. I went right after launch so theI’ll may have been limiting them at the time to keep phones for people who wanted a plan.
If it helps I went to the Pioneer Square location downtown.

Just pick Verizon and at the end of everything where it goes to "carrier activation", select "activate with carrier later" and you are good to go.
As long as you paid in full, it would remain as an unlocked unit.

I have a 6gb plan, and I'm hitting 5.5gb on average per month now.
I had to start using it up too. Use it or lose it, that's what the Rogers CSR told me on the phone.

5 years ago when I had 6gb rogers i could barely hit 2gb even if I tried
nowadays everyone's showing off their lunch on instagram/snapchat  ...videos eats up data fast, and I haven't even started streaming music while in the car yet. Not much of a netflix guy.
my old work place didn't have wifi

Thanks | I just went from iphone to android and encountered the same issue. Did a lot of research and in the end I had to use a third party software and it cost me 25 bucks... If you really really really want to keep your history it's worth it... but if it's not that important, save yourself some money.
