A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.

I'm not Canadian, but visit often.

I'm not sure what the criteria is for "best way" for your situation, but if nothing else you can get these online from Walmart.ca.

Walmart is another American megacorp. No need to avoid one just to shop at another.

I looked at Rexall and Shoppers websites first and couldn't find any mobile phones for sale online. If you don't like the site I posted you could post one for OP yourself from a site that you like.

Thanks for tje link. Do you know if the phone is unlocked / open to all carriers? I cant seem to find that information on the page but maybe I’m just missing it

I can't speak for the site or the reseller but that phone is listed in the "unlocked phones" category:
