Ebay Canada Unlocked Cell Phones on this page. If anyone can confirm or debunk this please post. I recently came across this wikipedia article, and if you scroll about halfway down the page to the section titled 'Canada', it explains that in 2010, canadian law was introduced enforcing that at the end of a contract, or if a phone was purchased outright, the carrier that sold you the phone must by law (upon your request) unlock the phone for you free of charge. If this is correct it means FREE UNLOCKS FOR EVERYONE and I would say its about time. If we buy a phone outright or gradually over time it belongs to us and we should be allowed to use it as we so please.
