Hello LTT'rs, so recently my 3-year contract has ended with service provider (Fido). Told myself it's time to get myself a new phone, have had my eye on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 since launch. Problem is that Fido doesn't carry the Galaxy Note 4 or any Notes in general. I was thinking of cashing in the fuckton of Fido Dollars I have accumulated over the years with Fido and get an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus and trade it for an Unlocked Note 4. What I'm wondering is, which iPhone, the 6 or 6 Plus in which capacity is equivalent to a Galaxy Note 4 Unlocked. Some of you may recommend me with going with another service provider like Rogers or Bell, Rogers is expensive as fuck and some of my family members have had a horrible experience with Bell. I've been looking through my local classifieds and a Galaxy Note 4 goes for as low as $650 but most of them are around 700-800, as for an iPhone 6 16GB, those range from 650-750.

The 6 Plus would be the equivilent.

Telus own a Majority monopoly over the city. Try them out. If not well I think the 6 plus would probably be worth around about the same.

but, fido is rogers D= 

I would say get the iphone 6 plus and look for a trade.

Honestly, Roger is good but their plans are wayy to expensive. A $50 plan with Rogers gets you 200 Minutes and 200MB of data, whereas Fido, for $50 you get 750MB and 750 Minutes.

Dislike Telus, What about a i6 64GB? I'm offering them whatever color they desire :)
