In my case, it's an economic reason.
The monthly discount that Canadian carriers offer for bringing your own phone is generally lower than the value of the phone. So why would I pay upfront if the model I want is available from the carrier?
- robotresearcher 9y agoAll the Canadian carriers are such assholes I can't bring myself to sign a long term contract with them. It's also nice to have an unlocked retail phone. Much cheaper to get a SIM from a vending machine at the airport anywhere outside North America than to suffer Canadian carriers' insane roaming charges.
- JeanSebTr 9y agoSince December 1, 2017, they can't be sold locked and phone bought before that can be unlocked for free.
- robotresearcher 9y agoThat's good news!
