Can I get iphone 3gs if I just bought the 3G?

I bought the iphone 3G on May 21st and just found out the 3gs comes out on Fido June 19th. Since its been less than 30 days can I exchange the phone? I called Fido and the lady sounded like she didn't know what she was talking about. she said if its more than 15 days I can't exchange it. I'm going to call them back and speak to someone else. Just want to know if anyone knows anything about this?
It's not right for Apple to hide the release date of their new products. If they are going to do that, then they should let people who get screwed over exchange their phone for the new one. Especially since its been less than 30 days!

Hey! I'm in the same boat. Bought my iPhone 3G on May 11 for $199.
What you should do depends on where you bought your iPhone. If you bought it at an AT&T store, then this article gives you all your answers.

If you bought it at an Apple store (like I did), then you should reserve a new iPhone 3G S at buyiphone.apple.com and on June 19, go back to your Apple store with your month old phone, its packaging, accessories, and receipt and exchange it for your new iPhone 3G S. There will be a restocking fee of $20. I called my Apple store here in Michigan this morning and this is what they told me. But you have to act fast or the exchange cost goes up to about $600. The buyiphone.apple.com site is going through some maintenance for the next few hours, so you have to wait to determine your eligibility and reserve your phone.
I think Apple like AT&T is also offering a $100 refund if you want to keep your 3G, but I didn't pay much attention because I want the 3G S.
Hope that helps!

    I am in transit with no computer. I have a iphone 3GS and have just bought a new 4S. Can I transfere my contacts from phone to phone.

    There are apps you can dowload that will let you sync your contacts across platforms or backup and restore contacts without iTunes.  An app that will sync your contacts is Contacts Sync.  Search the app store and find an app that will meet your needs.

  • My wife and I both have the IPhone 3Gs and we just downloaded the Ios5 software and now she can't text, anyone have any ideas? It seems like you can only IM to another IPhone user whereas befor the download, we could text anyone.text

    My wife and I just downloaded IOS5 onto our IPhones, 3Gs. Prior to, we were able to text anyone, now, she can't text at all except from her IPhone to my IPhone. I'm also unable to IM from my IPad2. Any suggestions?

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • I am getting an iPhone 3GS swap.However I bought the phone on eBay and therefore I am not the original owner of that he phone.And they want a photo id.Will I still be able to get it?

    ?

    Like i said above, it shouldnt be a problem. If they do look up the serial number and its someone elses name on the account, just let them know that you bought the phone and you would like to have your own information put on the account instead.

  • Can't get iPhone 3GS to recovery mode

    I have an old iPhone that I haven't used for over a year. Naturally I couldn't remember the passcode. I tried all the versions of getting it to Recovery mode but none of those worked. When pressing the home and sleep buttons the slider never went off. Likewise when starting the phone, pressing the home while connecting the cable never got me to Recovery. Nor did the DFU mode instructions. Now I've ran out of attempts in unlocking the phone, it just tells me to connect the phone to iTunes. Well, surprise, it still won't connect. It gives me the "can not connect to iTunes. Cancel - Try again"-pop-up every time.
    I'm wondering if that is because the iTunes is a much newer version than the phone? Or is my home button broken? Pressing the home button doesn't wake the phone up from sleep, should it. My iPhone 5 it does but I can't remember what the functionality was in 3GS.
    Any suggestions? Should I try to find an older version of iTunes or what. I tried it with both a Macbook and a PC, same response on both.
    Very grateful for any suggestions, my son really (I mean REALLY!) would like to get his hands on the phone...
    Best Regards,
    Olli

    Pressing the home button should wake up the display if the phone is powered on. It sounds to me like the home button is toast on your phone if it refuses to enter recovery mode.
    You can bring it to an Apple store and they can confirm that for you if you'd like.

  • Can I get iPhone 3GS backup off of an iMac running OSX 10.5 to restore the data on a new iPhone 5?

    I bought a new iPhone 5 for my wife because her old 3GS was at its end.  I made sure to back up the old phone on her old iMac running OSX 10.5.  Got the new phone home plugged it in to the computer and failure ensued... Can't sync because the iTunes is too old, can't upgrade iTunes because the computer is too old... I have a backup on the computer is there any way to move it to my newer iMac running 10.8 to get some of her data back?  I tried to think ahead by backing up but failed to think about incompatibility issues... Any help would shorten my time in the doghouse,

    You can certainly move the backup files but that will do nothing for the apps or media that is on the device.  Backups do not contain apps or media.
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    For the apps and media it will be necessary to move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Creating a new user account on the new computer would be a good idea if you both use iTunes and want to keep your media seperate.

  • Can't get iPhone 3GS to sync

    Just upgraded to OS 5 and now when I plug iPhone into computer my iTunes launches, but I can't sync my apps.  Just says "starting sync" and won't move on.

    allow to reboot

  • How to get more storage on my phone (I just bought the 10GB and thought it would help but it hasn't)

    How do I get more storage on my Iphone 5s? (I just bought the 10GB and thought it would increase my storage but it didn't)

    No it is a backup on iCloud ,a backup  replicates what you have on the device on to another device or cloud, it does  not moves it anywhere
    Do you have a PC or Mac if so use this advice

    This has happend to my ipod once...
    did u keep it somewhere so tightly pressed??
    that might be a reason. Don't worry it will turn on after some time, try connecting it to your computer or charger and see if it helps!!...

    If you have an old ID in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, to change it you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (you should need to verify the old account).  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I have an iPad mini iphone 5 and have just bought an Apple TV can I get the Apple TV to connect to the Bluetooth on my sofa have been trying with no success my phone and iPad connect fine please help.

    Can't get my Apple TV to connect to the Bluetooth on my sofa but it connects fine with iPhone iPad mini etc

    Bluetooth in the AppleTV is for connecting to Bluetooth keyboards, and also for Airplay device discovery only.
    Unless your sofa supports Airplay (unlikely) or has a bluetooth keyboard, your AppleTV won't be able to connect to it.

  • Can't Synq iPhone 3GS Calendars after installing iOS6, any suggestions?

    Can't Synq iPhone 3GS Calendars after installing iOS6, any suggestions?
    I'm all mac-based and followed the instructions for the upgrade to iOS6 software for iPhone but now my calendars won't synq.  When I connect to iTunes and run the synq process, it gets stuck on the Calendar step and will not finish the synq process.  I have to either wait for it to quit or force it to quit.  Additionally, when I try to log a new event or meeting onto the Calendar on the iPhone, it will lock up and quit the app.  I then have to shut down the iPhone to get it to open again but it just locks up again when I try to log a new event.  Any suggestions?  I'm tempted to do a back up and reinstall but don't want to risk any data loss.

    Hi there,
    I am using Rogers, which does support tethering.
    The iPhone does not show up in the list of devices in the Bluetooth preference panel. It fails at the Pairing step of the Bluetooth setup assistant.
    Cheers!
