According to a new report on Canadian tech blog MobileSyrup, Canadian carriers Virgin Mobile and Bell have come up with a policy under which unlocked versions of all the models of the popular Apple iPhone will be offered to eligible customers.

With the Virgin Mobile and Bell policy taking effect from November 26, iPhone users who are outright owners of models supported by the two carriers will have to make a US$75 payment - through Credit card - to the carrier to have their handsets unlocked.

The iPhone unlocking by Virgin Mobile and Bell also requires that, along with owning an iPhone outright, customers should be post-paid customer on the carriers, and must not be on contract.

Going by the MobileSyrup report, citing internal documents obtained by the tech blog, the iPhone unlocking process requires the customers to get in touch with Virgin Care or Bell's Credit & Prevention department. The leaked documents also reveal that Virgin Mobile and Bell customers who cannot unlock their iPhones now may have to wait till early 2013, when the eligibility guidelines will be broadened.

Though additional information pertaining to the future stipulations for iPhone unlocking has not been detailed in the leaked document, the MobileSyrup report said that, from Monday onwards, Virgin Mobile and Bell have started unlocking iPhones through a "launched in phased approached."
