Sounds like you live in Canada. Apple has yet to announce a carrier for Canada. Stay tuned. There's hope for you.

Where in Canada?
I wonder.... If a Canadian where to go to the US and buy a phone would AT&T allow it to be activated if the customer lived in Canada?
I mean the phone will still work in Canada, although I suspect that you would have to pay International roaming charges, yikes!
About the only way I can think of for a Canadian to get an iPhone would be to have a friend in the US in whose name you can get the service and have the bill sent to them. Probably not very feasable.
I suspect Canada will get the iPhone by January. Probably announced at MacWorld. I can picture Steve on stage now, "iPhone has been a phenomenal success in the US. So far we have sold umpteenbazillion iPhones! (Applause) And now we are going to expand into Canada! (hoots and holllers.) and the UK (people start fainting) and soon we will take over the world!

do you think if i start begging bell(northerntel) to take the iPhone and then beg Apple it might work! if i don't get that phone my parents might die from me crying, and crying, and i was gonna pay for it and everything!
I think you better just get used to waiting. It'll come soon enough and I think it'll be Rogers that gets it.
i was wondering the other day if someone who lived on the border in canada could use the american AT&T towers if close enough
Nope. They wouldn't sell it to her or set up service with a Canadian address. Even if she lied about the address and then just used it in canada, they would eventually discontinue service due to her constant roaming off the At&t network. That's some of that small print that nobody ever reads in their contract.
It would have to be really close. Unlike CDMA, GSM only transmits about 7 miles. If you travel interstates, you should see the GSM towers about every 12 - 14 miles on the side of the road.
rogers is the worst company ever! here you can't even txt other cell phones it says its a landline i called twice and they just decided they can't fix it, they screw up the bills all the time. rogers is the worst company ever in ontario! i had a phone with them, i paid the money to cancel it, it was not worth it.
Whoa, thats up there. I had to zoom out about five times in Google maps to figure out where that was. I think your just gonna hafta wait.

I'm just telling you what I've seen publicized since January when the iPhone was announced.
