    Default Beyond iPhone Group Buy!

    Ok so there has been some talk in this thread about a possible Beyond iPhone group buy.

    If we can get a trustworthy member who is planning on making a trip to the US to pick up an order for the rest of Beyonders we can get them back on Canadian soil, unlock them, and be among the first in the city to be on the bandwagon!

    Of course unlocking the phones won't be free, and there are some members here who have linked to both software and hardware methods. We should figure out the best method in this thread, as well as a fair price to pay the person unlocking all the phones (which should be dependent on the number of phones we get).

    I can take care of the money. I know that "Hey guys send me your money" is a pretty sketchy statement to make over the net, but there's a number of people here who know where I work (I can contact rage or some other mods about this) and I have no intentions of messing with my career over a cell phone purchase.

    So let me know if you want in and I'll put you on the list so we can gauge interest. We can start a confirmed list later on once people have money ready to go.

    Don't they limit 1 iphone/customer and must sign contract with AT&T which means must have address and credit established in USA?

    Check the other thread, it seems like you can just walk in and buy them.

    headed to seattle next weekend, i'll stop in the apple store and find out.

    i might just pick one up if we can get someone to unlock them, otherwise i'd be interested in the group buy/pay someone to unlock mine if i do buy one next week.

    i dont think you can just walk in a buy one, people have been buying the phone on pre-paid accounts, im sure you need to open an account first, and i think its still a limit to how many you can purchase. Let me know the price, i might be interested, i just cancelled my telus plan to go to rogers, so this would be perfect.

    You should be able to buy them through the apple, american, website without a contract, they list them and they can be added to the cart like any other item on the site.

    You cant purchase it off the website if you dont have an american billing address. I also tried phoning but they will tell you that you need an american billing address for your visa or mc.

    No no, I understand that, I was merely pointing out that they should be able to buy them without an AT&T contract. I'm sure someone on here has family with a US address.

    I would be willing to head down to the USA to grab them for you guys at no extra charge, the only thing that I would be looking is for my airfare to be covered, and the tax that would be charged at customs for the phones. I would be more than willing to unlock all the phones as well using the hardware unlock method, for lets say 50 bucks each chances of your Phone being bricked using this methode are there, but not as high as one may think.

    One option i can offer is everyone buying a handset on thier own and having them sent to my texas address but like many of you, i'm not clear of all that this entails. the only methode I am clear of is being able to walk in and buy one in person.

    activation and all that other stuff happens through iTunes anyway, you can't get your service started inside the stores.
    what i can do is call the corporate store, and ask them if they are willing to sell a whack of phones with no questions asked?

    I dunno, I'll let you guys figure out te details, but I would be willing to make the trip and provide the service.

    that's easy to bypass, it's the shipping address that may be tricky... if you just need an american billing address, phone your CC carrier, change your addresss to some address of a walmart or some other bogus place you googled,order the phone, having it shipped to your actual address, phone CC carrier back and change your address back the next day.... I've done it for purchases online before, but shipped them to an amerifriend.

    I'm in chicago right now and I'm thinking about buying an iphone, I was wondering if anyone here can unlock it for me and how much it would cost. I leave on saturday at 3pm.

    Thanks, wesseam.

    You just buy the iphone from any At&t store, apple store, or online at apple.com. You buy the phone first, then activate everything from your house via: itunes. They do nothing at the store, just sell you the phone. Not sure if there is a limit to how many you can buy at once. Hope this helps!
