Switching Phone Providers.

[Aleks]

Quick question, I have an old iPhone 4s and my buddy wants to buy it off me but he is with Fido(Canadian provider) and the phone is locked with Telus(Canadian Provider) I know it isn't easy doing so but I know that people unlock phone all the time. So my question is, is their any way to switch the phone to be compatible with Fido?

Downgrade the OS and flash/jailbreak it, or call Telus and ask nicely. 

You could also try asking Fido, but they might try to sell you something instead.

 Contact Telus and ask nicely, according the the CRTC they must be able to provide an unlock after 90 days of owning a phone.

Ask Telus. There's laws in place that require them to have to unlock your phone. There's a fee however, usually 50 bucks or so.

I contacted Telus and they were more than happy to unlock my phone, only took about 10 minutes and was done over phone. Cost $35. Thanks for all of the feedback everybody!
