all the 3G and 3GS phones are locked to a carrier.
they would have given you a phone that was locked to the same carrier that your old phone had.
there is a paper trail for that exchange.
when you brought it in again and they restored it, the phone would have erased all other software and been locked to the original carrier.
there is also a paper trail for that.
seriously, if you didnt jailbreak your phone..bring it back into the store. they will be able to catch the mistake. if it is their mistake.

Not true. Apple stores can do entirely paperless transactions. There are roving employees on the floor who can swipe your card, input your email address on their touch device and email you the receipt. No pen, no paper, all electronic. There is still a trail of course!
Oh right. I rarely see email errors as a result of electronic entering. You typically type it in and say "is this correct?" It's usually when you handwrite an email that something goes wrong, particularly if you give the paper to the customer and the sender can't read it after the fact. I just assumed it was written down.
Also, my point really was that using their electronics to do business probably has the same effect on the environment (devices, electricity, e-waste, manufacturing the devices) than getting a hard copy receipt printed. Just sayin'.

$779 for an Iphone4 32 GB.
$299 in america.
Id never buy a phone for that price, i lose my shit way to often.

Ok that is odd, but if that was the case and I was doing business in this manner I'd be checking my email on the spot before I left the store to be sure that I received the receipt.Mistakes/typos happen all the time. You don't spend hundreds of dollars on something and walk out with no evidence that you ever did business there.
Update:
I called apple canada support and opened a case number with them.
They think the issue is my sim card is damaged so I'm going to telus and get a new one...they walked me through the process so that once a telus undamged sim card is installed the phone should work
The phone, according to apple, is locked to telus and has been since I got it.
If that fails then I am to call thier direct number where they will call the store and arrange a replacement with no issues.
Apple Canada is extrememly supportive and I have multiple "senior advisors" stating that my phone will be repaired by apple pending sim card activation.
Thanks for all the support and suggestions.
Wiseman, you can go back to the mom thread and blow me.

I remember I went into the apple store wearing a blue shirt once.
I was listening to some ipods or something. ANd some lady started staring at me... and staring... and then getting huffy....
So I take out the headphones and she's like "what do I have to do to get some service around here?" And I'm like, "lady, I don't work here."
Anyway, phones drop calls. It happens. Also I don't see how firmware is gonna "change" or affect RF performance.
"Dont taze me tro!"

Alex,
the funny thing is, is that I went in there to get new headphones...and I walked out with a busted iphone.
I just asked them while they were processing my new headphone swap..."oh and by the way..some calls drop is this a carrier or manufacturing problem"
thats when the blue shirted claws took my iPhone away from me

This seems like the best place....
Bought an iPhone4 and hated it so traded it on Kijiji for a wifi iPad. Did the physical trade at the Apple Store so we could have them reprint the invoice from the serial number and confirm it wasn't stolen.
The iPad was in decent condition but had scratches on both the glass and the case - but I was fine with it. After a few weeks I noticed a couple dead pixels and went to the Apple store. No problem at all, they send me on my way and tell me I'll get a call in a couple days to pick up a replacement.
So I get a call a couple days later to come in to pick it up, so of course I ditch out of the office and run to the store to do the swap.
On the way to the mall I get a voicemail from "John in Apple Loss Protection" saying they've monitored my case and know that the iPad is jailbroken and that I need to talk to them when I'm in the store.
Of course, I'm reading the message as I'm standing in front of an Apple guy doing the exchange so I just let him finished and haul out of the store, thinking I've got away with it.
Well 2 days later I'm in the office and one of my coworkers sticks his head in the door and asks if I ever got back to John from Apple about the jailbreak. Fucker. Office walls are too thin, I guess.
