Most providers ( koodo is an exception with their "tab" device subsidies) adhere to the WCC regulations with device subsidy contracts. There is a regulation stating that any amount of a device subsidy paid in a calendar month is considered a payment covering the entire months device subsidy.
Postpaid plans are prorated when you only use a partial months service. ie. If your plan amount is $60 and you port out on day 2 of your monthly service your bill is prorated by $60÷30 days=$2 per day. 2 days×$2=$4 this will be your prorated monthly bill. If your device subsidy is an additional $30 per month (total bill=$90) your device subsidy is also prorated. $30÷30 days=$1/day×2days=$2. You will then be sent a prorated bill of $4+$2=$6 But the prorated device subsidy of $2 by WCC regulations actually covers your entire months device subsidy of $30. Porting out to pm in the first few days of your final month of your device subsidy contract will save you some $$ depending on the size of your device subsidy. Of course reading your contract prior to porting out is prudent to ensure the provider hasn't pulled a sneaky clause without prior knowledge....which would nullify the contract if they have so it is unlikely but prudence is best.
And yes if your phone is under contract by a Canadian mobile provider then it's compatible.
