I am paying hundreds of dollars a month because Apple has refused to let any Canadian carriers sell iPhones with North America Wide unlimited Talk & Data plans. However all of them offer this on Android (with HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN SAVINGS).
Why can't apple allow at least 1 phone with this type of plan? I would LOVE to be spending this money on other apple products, rather than paying the wireless providers!!!
THIS *****!!!
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1
It isn't apple's fault. It is your carrier. Maybe they can't support the bands the iphone uses or they don't want the iphone on their network. Apple doesn't care what carrier you are on or how much data you get. That is all on the carrier.
I seriously doubt that Apple has anything to do with this.
Why do you think Apple would have anything to do with this decision?
It's not my supplier. Here in Canada we have at least 5 carriers that offer the iPhone. TELUS, Rogers, Fido, Koodo, and Bell. Not one of them are able to offer the iPhone with unlimited data & voice plans.
However ALL OF THEM offer Android phones with this option, as well as HTC Phones, and Blackberry....in fact every carrier offers North American unlimited data and voice plans with every other phone manufacturer...the ONLY phone you can't get it with is the iPhone.
There isn't any way these carriers could all be avoiding this type of plan unless they were being told they couldn't. I wouldn't have believed the salespeople in the stores if I hadn't been told the same thing in every store on the same day!!
I currently my family owns 3 Apple computers, 2 iPhones, 1 iPad and 1 apple TV.
It's a shame that I have to go android with my phone now, but it appears that apple isn't interested in helping consumers maintain reasonable plan pricing against google.
APPLE IS NOT TELLING CARRIERS TO DO LIMITED DATA!!! What part of that don't you understand? I have Sprint and have unlimited Data. AT&T and Verizon used to offer unlimited data but after a while they decided that iphone users were sucking down too much data and they started limiting data.
All the Carriers you listed have decided to give all phones except iphone unlimited data. YOU NEED TO TALK TO THEM. IT IS NOT APPLE'S FAULT YOU HAVE CRAPPY CARRIERS IN CANADA.
So your asking us to believe that 5 carriers have based on pure coincidence decided to give customers Unlimited voice + data packages with every other phone manufacturer other than apple all on their own?
LOL.... you really believe that???
Wow....
Sorry... We lost our child like innocence a long time ago
So why is Sprint allowed to do it?
OK Just looked up Telus and you lied. They do not offer unlimited data for any of their smartphones. Maybe you should do some research before blaming Apple for your problems with your carriers in Canada.
You really need to go look at their websites. I looked at just one of the ones you mentioned and they do not offer unlimited data for any smartphone. You are the one looking stupid now.
LOL....
Not all packages (or special deals) are listed onthe sites, that's why I went direct to the stores.
I was advised to do this by someone that works in the industry!!
So sorry...your WRONG again!!

This guy doesn't understand and will never understand. I won't even try to explain to him anymore because he is just too ignorant to understand.
If you are as BADMAN as you claim, then you should be able to go back to the store, dictate the price you want to pay each month and what you will be getting for that amount. Then you will walk out with the phone of your choice and the plan of your choice.
But you will need to impress them more than you are impressing ths forum.
Good luck.
Yes...because responding in ALL CAPS and hurling insults makes you a much smarter person...
I'm just in awe and overwhelmed by your vast knowledge of business rules and practices in the universe.
Name one carrier that has unlimited data for android and still sells the iPhone in Canada. Telus, rogers, fido, bell and virgin do not offer unlimited data for androids or iPhones.
Oh btw I deal with all of them on a daily basis.
Maybe the carriers have a bigger group of iPhone users then any other phone. So, to entice people to buy the other phones besides the iPhone (maybe to clear out stock) they offer unlimited Talk, Data, And Texting. Here in the US AT&T and Verizon both offer unlimited Talk + Text but data is tiered, but Sprint offers unlimited everything. It is not something Apple controls, but that the carrier does. I don't know why carriers up there in Canada are odd like that unless, like I said, they want to sell more Android devices. Do any Android devices use Micro-Sims? If so, maybe you can buy that phone, have it activated and install the Sim-Card into your iPhone. It might not work, but its worth a try, if you can return the other phone.
Why is Apple forcing me to buy an Android phone?
