porschetr porschetr Post Master Supreme Registered: 05/15/01 Posts: 23391 Loc: WBridge	Did you know? Officially, you couldn't unlock your device from the provider until your contract was over,and now it has reduced to 90 days. I tried to call Telus to unlock my 60 days old phone because I am traveling overseas next week. But they said it was the CRTC that implemented the 90 day policy, so they can't do anything. Too bad no one is offering the unlocking service for iphones at a reasonable price anymore. I paid $7-8 to do my old iphone a half a year ago. Now it went up to $60-100+ _________________________

It is such a BS. I talked to a tech support last night for a different reason and he hinted me that it can be unlocked before the 90 day mark and suggested me to call back the billing dept. so I called and now they say it's Apple that won't allow them to unlock. Unconvinced, I kept drilling her then She sent an email to a different department who can look into it. Now I wait. _________________________

OracerO OracerO Post Master Sr Registered: 10/07/02 Posts: 3949 Loc: GTA	Where are you going? There is another way to using your phone without getting it unlocked. Most airports, sell a wifi "egg", it's basically data for up to 5 people. Small little modem/router thing. I know in Asia, almost all airports offer this service. IT's a loan service, you rent it for like $3-5Cad/day, then you return it before you depart from the airport on your last day. Edited by OracerO (02/09/17 11:18 AM)

She said it's the Telus's policy, so other field reps were BSing. This tech guy was awesome. He even offered to help me if no one from Billing could. _________________________
