As of June 3rd all Canadians fall under “Wireless Code of Conduct,” cuts short 3-year contracts, more

The biggest and most immediate impact the Wireless Code has in the market is that it basically kills three-year contracts, up to now still common place in the great white north.
There is now a mandatory minimum trial period of 15 days (30 days if the customer has a disability), allowing a customer to return a device without any termination fee. Cancelation of service where an early termination fee may still apply must be calculated based on the remaining value of the subsidy of the device.
Devices can now be unlocked without restriction after 90-days into a contract, though there is no apparent guide to who much a carrier may charge for such service.
As with some government regulations, one would think there is a lot of fine print. While there is a lot of detail, the Wireless Code of Conduct is itself, not terribly complicated.
