Hi all. I have an informational favour to ask. I'm not in a position to go to local stores and the info isn't readily available online. I want to buy an unlocked phone as a gift. Two that I am looking at are the Moto G and the Alcatel Idol 3. Both have websites that sell unlocked phones mail order in the States, but if I indicate Canada they send me to a carrier (Bell or Telus). Would anyone here know if the Canadian versions of these phones are carrier locked, if the American ones are not? I'm happy to buy one off-contract if I know it can be taken to any carrier. Alternately, does anyone have a different recommendation in the $300-400 range? I know that Canada Computer sells the Asus Zenfone, but I know little about this Intel-powered phone. All help is appreciated. (obLinux: Android only). And don't even mention the Oneplus; nice phone, supremely flaky company. Thanks!
