Bought an iPhone 4 in Canada from an Apple Store? Due to “human error”, some sales reps are keying in your unlocked phone incorrectly and LOCKING the phone at the cash. Ensure your receipt says “No Contract Sim” $0.00 and not “Fido / Rogers / Telus Micro Sim iPhone 4″. If your receipt does say “Carrier Name Micro Sim iPhone 4″, make an appointment at the nearest Apple store (don’t just show up) to have your phone exchanged ASAP.
It is a little difficult to check if your iPhone 4 is unlocked because it could just be locked to YOUR CARRIER. The best way to test is an AT&T micro sim card, which is of course difficult to do in Canada. Or if you have friends who are on a completely different mobile company (Fido/Rogers sims are sometimes swappable and is not a good test).
