Now that the iPhone 4 is coming, carriers the world over will no doubt be clearing out their inventory of old iPhone 3G and 3GS devices. In fact, the clearance has been hitting us already. If you don’t want to pony up the dough to pick up the gyroscope and retina display packing iPhone 4, deals are yours to be had over the next little while for sure. Case-in-point this morning comes to us from Bell in Canada.
Bell has a new ‘friends and family’ discount up for offer on refurbished iPhone 3G units. Sure, the 3G is an older iPhone, but heck, the thing is still compatible with the App Store, last I checked the OS still worked, and it works darn fine. At any rate, the friends and family deal on the Refurbished iPhone 3G will run you $9.95 on a 3-year term.
Exclusive Bell friends and family offer.
When you activate a refreshed iPhone on a 3-year term, on the $50 Smartphone Combo plan, you’ll get 6 months unlimited local talking, unlimited nights and weekends starting at 6PM, waived activation fee ($35 value), plus 1 month of unlimited data usage. Hurry and take advantage of this great offer today.
So there you have it. A pretty darn good deal, but keep in mind you’re going to be locked-in to a 3-year contract if you move forward. That’s kind of scary to me. I mean, the 3G is already old… Imagine what new goodness Apple will have on tap in 3 years. The 3G will be a relick! On top of that, who knows if Apple will even support the 3G with OS updates a year or two down the road… that remains to be seen.
Anyways there you have it. For all the details you can check out the offer right here.
Note: If old and scratched iPhones aren’t your thing, no worries. iPhone 4 is coming to Rogers, TELUS and Bell north of the border.
