Bell iPhone Has Arrived In Canada!

It is November 4, 2009 and the Bell iPhone has officially launched in Canada! Head down to your local Bell or Apple Store for all the launch day awesomeness. Stores will be busy so try to go early or hit up obscure Bell dealers in the outskirts of town!

Remember, if you book an appointment online at Apple.ca, you will be guaranteed an iPhone 3GS will be waiting for you at your local Apple Store. For step by step reservation instructions, see here.

Below are links for information regarding the Bell HSPA+ network and the iPhone plans, which were reported first exclusively by iPhoneinCanada.ca. See the links below:

    I was off contract with Bell knowing that the iPhone was coming.

    They did not let me use my $200 hardware credit towards a new 3GS (16 mb), but they did give me this on a new 3-year contract:

    Nationwide fab 5
    500 MB data
    450 daytime minutes
    100 Canadian Long Distance
    Caller ID/Voicemail
    2500 texts per month

    For the whopping price of $67.70. There are deals out there. Speak to the retention department and be nice.

    Oh and evenings at 6pm and waiver of the activation fee.

    Bell is the worst company ever, my phone is broken and not functioning anymore, and I have been with Bell (aka worst company ever) for more than 2 years already. And now bell will not let me upgrade to an Iphone plan. Is bell completely stupid? I wanted to sign with the worst company ever (Bell) for another 3 years, paying them 80 dollars a month on an Iphone plan, but they did not want my business because they changed their upgrading time from 2 to 3 years in August. Very Sneaky. Thankfully, Rogers is not that stupid and is giving me a great Iphone deal. So Bell Mobility, your contract is canceled. And I will be sure to let the Board of Trade in my city know about your corrupt practices as I am a member.

    Same problem as Speed Racer.

    The iPhone reception in Kelowna, BC is VERY SPOTTY and DOES NOT WORK most of the time. BUYER BEWARE: Do not waste your time or money with Bell. Wait until the network is fixed.

    Can anyone tell me if I buy an iphone and get a data plan from Bell if my wifi still works? Bell hasn't blocked it? I wonder because the brochures talk about free wifi at Starbucks but I use my ipod everywhere for free and I am hoping to get an iphone and do the same?

    Does anyone know if Bell has blocked wifi? I want to buy an iphone with a Bell data plan but can I still use free wifi where it is available thereby saving my data time?

    Wifi always works if you are within range of a wifi network

    Thanks, I have an ipod now and I use free wifi or my wifi at home on it, I was afraid that Bell might have a way of blocking wifi so that you are forced to use their data plan.

    For anyone looking to get out of cell phone contracts, here is one piece of advice for free that actually works as long as you stick to your guns. Contract law in Canada dictates the allowable terms and duration of contacts, as such the allowable duration for a cellular contract (and gym membership for that matter) is actually only 1 year. Any contract exceeding the one year is not enforceable, all of the providers know this and as soon as you mention this they will come back with all kinds of retorts to try and scare you but if you look it up, it is true. If you want to cancel a contract you can do so without penalty beyond the original 12 months.
