MTS employees start iPhone 4 training

By on April 9, 2011 at 7:37am in Mobile News, MTS


Regional carrier MTS over in Manitoba recently flipped on their “4G” network and launched a slew of new handsets that include the BlackBerry Torch, Nokia Surge, BlackBerry Bold 9780 and the Android Motorola Spice. These are all decent devices but one device is what most customers are probably pining for is the Apple iPhone 4. Back in February MTS stated that they “will launch iPhone 4 in Canada in the coming months”, with no confirmed date mentioned.

Friendly Manitobans… we bring you an update! As the image indicates above MTS employees have started their iPhone 4 training and a release date looks to be on track for late April or early May. No word on pricing but you can bet it’ll be the same pricing as all the other carriers: iPhone 4 16GB for $159 on a 3-year or 649 no-term; iPhone 4 32GB for $269 on a 3-year or 749 no-term.

More soon!
(Thanks tipster!)

  4. iPhone on MTS? Who cares at this point. The iPhone is very 2000/10… If they carry the Nexus S/some of the dual core Android phones, I’ll consider them.

  5. Does the training include how to hold the phone to avoid dropped calls?

    By the way, at my store, the Blackberry Torch outsells the iPhone.

  6. Better late than never but why took MTS so long to carry the Iphone? Is their management that mediocre and stock in the past, even third world countries got the Iphone before MTS.

    • Because they launched their HSPA+ network last week and before that they had CDMA. That’s why you are now able to get the Torch, 9780, and iPhone soon. But why do you they need training for the iPhone 4? I think if you have used any iPhone or iPod Touch before, you’ll have no issues at all geting used to it and I believe the whole world has used them atleast once.

  9. What their just getting the iphone now, what a pitty to be a mts customer when iphone 5 is coming in a couple of months in june. Iphone 5 will have a better hardware than the 4 with aluminum backing, 4 inch screen, 8 megapixel camera with full hd recording. And front camera will have 3g calling. And a micro sd expansion card slot. Iphone 4 only has 3.5 inch screen. 5 megapixel camera with only 720 p recording. And only comes in 16 gb or 32 gb. And only has wifi facetime calling. And is made out of glass which breaks very easily. I got the iphone 4 but as soon as the 5 comes in june im swaping definitely.

    • @john : You write like you know more about the unreleased, unannounced iPhone 5 than Steve Jobs himself. Care to share your source with us or are you totally speculating here and presenting it as facts?

  12. Quote: Have you ever met an MTS employee? They’re i****s. They’ll need more training than you think haha.

    Oh, let me guess! You’re one of those assholes that phones into MTS to lowball them to get everything for free because “you give MTS “Big Business” and expects everyone to bend backwards for you when in fact you’re just a cheap frugal f**k. Oh wait… or are you one of those dwarfs that come in every 5 days asking when the Iphone will come in when, in actuality, you have no solid reason as to why you want it other then getting brainwashed by Apple’s iphone marketing campaign.

    You’re the type of people that us sales people don’t make an effort to deal with because you’re just a straight up i***t and know nothing of the market.

    Before you s**t talk, have the guns to back it up :)

    • youdidnthearit… To be fair, your response didn’t come off as the most enlightened either.

      I *do* know the market, and happen to wonder why there are 2-3 year old phones being intro’d, that MTS is still charging $500 for?

      I don’t care about the iPhone. Everyone I know that has one has had problems with them. Come on, though. If you’re cheesed that people want what you’re supposed to be offering, maybe a career change is in order, hmm?

    • I do have the guns to back it up. Their customer service is the worst I’ve ever experienced and I am NOT one of those people. There was a time that I was double billed and called to get it cleared up (because I had paid my bill). I had mentioned that I had the confirmation number from my bank from payment if they needed it at all and the girl on the line said “don’t bother, that stupid number doesn’t mean a thing to me anyways and i can’t do anything for you.”

      That is NOT customer service. I don’t care how f*****g stupid the question is – you NEVER treat a customer that way. We’re giving you our money. I switched from them after MULTIPLE experiences like that – and I’m not someone who goes in asking stupid questions and I also never called Loyalty asking for deals.

      Maybe have the guns to back up your facts? Good god.

      If you work for MTS and this is how you’re speaking about your company’s customers on the internet – then ALL you have done here is confirmed my original comment about the employees there. Way to provide a quality service!

  13. So, um..do a panel of 60 year old men handle the 4G phones that MTS makes available? Talk about a weak selection. I have the wallet open and ready to go, but there is no way I’m sign another contract with MTS with one of the terrible phones they have.

    Really don’t get why you bother with 4G at all when the best phone you can offer is the vague promise of a çoming soon’ iphone that is a year old already. AWESOME..you’ll charge me what other carriers are charging for new andoid phones for a year old iphone. Spectacular.

    Honestly MTS, get your act in gear and get some decent phones…the whole point of 4G is defeated when you offer garbage phone lineup to go with it.

    and this comes from a guy who has been with MTS for over 12 years.
