apple or att will only sell you 2 I believe per person with credit card or gift card...at the border you will have to pay taxes if you report them

wanna buy me one? :P lol

you can only buy two with pay with credit card or giftcard only. Try and buy three the manger will make you fill out a form and someone from apple will call you the next day saying no you can't.

You can buy one at one time w/o any problems with cash however. (and no you can't do a bunch of single sales at one time either)


Isn't the iphone being release here very soon anyways?

BTW With AT&T you have to sign up on a plan, or have an existing plan when you buy.

one of my friends got an 8gig iphone from the apple store without a plan...so i think it can be done.

when did your friend purchase the iphone?
because having customers sign up with AT&T was put into effect fairly recently.

I can ger recipts from the walden apple store with the recipt saying its a broken iphone for 79.99 with the day and time stamp of the day you went. :bowdown:

si_ponz

u can only get the reciept or can u get the actual iphone for 79? lmao

and yes, they bought the phone a while back, maybe almost a year now

zyepher

shlammed

**** time flies

si_ponz

starboy869

I said released soon? I last heard May. Now I guess it's JUNE.

You can buy from a US apple store w/o a plan. However if try buying from AT&T you'll need a plan.

its prolly gonna be uber expensive from rogers...rip off artists

anyone can confirm this? can i buy the phone without sign up any contract?

I bought a few iphone at various apple stores when I was in LA, CAli during Christmas. At the apple store you can buy it outright for just over $400 and change. However it's locked to the At&t network.

Ask to buy one or two phones only say ones for you and a your g/f (or make up some other BS story for small talk with the clerk.) DO NOT TELL THEM YOUR FROM CANADA When I was buying some at one location my wife mentioned we were from Canada and it all went down hill from there. Each store is instructed in not to sell iphones to Canadians customers.
