Purple Cow
Phones

Need a new phone?

These are the phones we recommend. Pick one and we’ll send you straight to Apple, Samsung or Google to buy it, with their own warranty and returns. Then bring it to Purple Cow and you’re on a plan in minutes.

Don’t get locked in

Finance or lease a phone through your carrier and you’re tied to them for two years. Buy it from Apple, Samsung or Google instead, finance it there if you like, and you’re free to pick any network.

Our picks

Phones are sold, shipped and supported by Apple, Samsung and Google. Returns and warranty go through them. Prices are the makers’ own Canadian starting prices, approximate and before tax; they set and change them. The monthly figure is that price divided over 24 months.

Already have a phone?

You can probably use it. Bring it to Purple Cow and set it up with a virtual SIM in minutes.
