Unlocking your cell phone just got a whole lot easier and cheaper! With the new CRTC Wireless Code coming into effect on December 1st, 2017, Canadian cell phone carriers are now banned from charging a fee for unlocking any phone and all new phones must be sold unlocked. Bell has expanded its unlocking policy so that anyone with a personal cellphone locked to its network can get the device unlocked for free — as long as it's not associated with a fraudulent. Once unlocked, it will never lock back up again, as it becomes a “Factory Unlocked iPhone” even after updating firmware. This is the only “lifetime” unlock solution for Bell iPhones as the IMEI is registered as “Unlocked” in Apple database. Your phone will always be unlocked even after each new update of your phone’s firmware! Yea bell has a long standing bad history of not unlocking iPhones if you don't have a bell account had the same issue over 5 years ago with an iPhone 4 I was given by a relative. Went to get it unlocked at bell so I could continue to use my rogers account. They wouldn't unlock it even though the contract the phone was one was over.
I want to unlock my bell Canada iphone 4 i called Bell to ask them if they do it .Bell Canada informed me that they don't unlock iphone that its up to Apple to do it .Then i talk to another Bell assistant and she inform me that when bell Canada does there purchasing of all iphone they do not purchase the licence that give them the right to unlock there iphone.Funny thing is 1 year ago i called Apple and they told me they dont unlock iphone that are under contract with wireless providers. I call Bell and told them i would pay what ever is left over on the iphone , they inform that if pay the left over it would give me the option of purchasing i new smart phone with a special discount at Bell Canada and only if i agree on a 3 years contract . Roger and telus will unlock there iphone for 50$ (the Bell Cnada assitant told me they do it because when they purchase there iphone they aparently pay for a right to unlocking it to Apple).So does this mean if purchase another iphone with Bell my old iphone 4 is attach to Bell at all coast (wich make it harder for to sale since its stuck to Bell Canada) .
Regardless of all that that crap! Will Apple yes or no unlock my iphone 4 ,if i have to pay, i will pay but at least let may have the option to do it!
