Did you know:

…An iPhone will work in Canada, but it needs to be unlocked. You CANNOT just pop in your SIM card for it to work. It must be unlocked to be used with Rogers or Fido (the only GSM networks in Canada). It will NOT work with Telus or Bell. That’s right…it will NOT work with Telus or Bell (they are CDMA networks)! …MORE…

Canada has a much different playing field when it comes to iPhones. Thus, the great peoples at iPhoneInCanada have put together a superFAQ like so:

• Where can I buy an iPhone? I want one soooo bad! What features will work?
• How Do I Go Abouts Buying an iPhone in the USA? Will I have to sign a contract? What about firmware? Will I have to pay taxes/duties on my iPhone?
• I have my iPhone. Now what? (love the answer: Your iPhone needs to be “activated”, “jailbreaked”, and “unlocked” (check out what all this terminology means here). New iPhones are running 1.1.2 and 1.1.3. Follow the guide posted about using ZiPhone. Unlocking should take less than 3 minutes if you follow the instructions correctly!)
• What are these “SIM” solutions I keep hearing about?
• Should I update my iPhone’s firmware? I want to update to 1.1.1/1.1.2/1.1.3!
• How do I use my iPhone with Rogers or Fido?
• When is the iPhone being released in Canada?
• Will my iPhone be affected if/when Rogers/Fido comes out with the iPhone? Will anything change?
• How do I setup EDGE settings on my iPhone?
• I’ve unlocked my iPhone! Yes! I need a case to protect my new investment. Any suggestions?
• How do I download 3rd party applications to my iPhone?
• I want to become an iPhone “Yoda”…can you show me the ways?
• MORE!

Definitely the above is a good read.

ThankYouVeryMuch!
