Cell Phone Unlocking

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Cell Phone Unlocking

Post by LotusBlossom »

I have a question tech people about an unlocked BlackBerry that I have.

It's T-Mobile in the US, since they are my carrier in the US. I got it unlocked so I could used it here in Vancouver and mostly when I head to Europe for work. Thing is I have two accounts in Canada, a Telus one and a Fido one. It works with my Fido # but it doesn't work my Telus # so I am using my old phone for that account.

Why doesn't it work with Telus but it does with Fido? I thought unlocked meant it could be used to any carrier.

Two years later... lol

What matters is what technology/frequency the phones uses.

Telus is CDMA/HSPA and Rogers/Fido GSM/HSPA.

Additionally for BB's there are so many phones that are built for certain frequencies only.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
