Rogers, Fido Offering New Unlocking iPhone Policy For $50

While U.S. consumers continue to be annoyed with AT&T’s iPhone monopoly, folks in Canada have reason to cheer. Rogers, and its budget subsidiary, Fido have announced a plan where their current customers can unlock iPhones for just $50 CAD. This deal is only for existing Rogers/Fido customers who own a device not currently under contract. Customers simply need to pay the $50 and restore their iPhone to its original state via iTunes. By doing so, the device becomes unlocked. According to iPhoneinCanada, users must:

Have an account in good standing

Have paid the un-subsidized / no term cost for the device at least 30 days prior OR have finished their Commitment Period (contract)

Unlock a device which is listed in their equipment history (no grey market devices)

Pay a $50 unlocking fee plus applicable taxes (note: prepaid customers must have a $50 plus the applicable taxes, balance on their account)

I'm not sure how many Canadians might be interested in this offer, but it might be worth checking out. What do you think? Leave your comments below.
