well you cant use a bell phone on telus and vice versa because they are CDMA

now as for Telus or bell unlocking them i dont know, but you should know that rogers and fido are the only GSM providers in canada

and you couldnt have been a rogers wireless customer for 10 years because they havent even been open for ten years

Fido was the first GSM provider in canada and we have barely been open for 10 years lol

I'm not sure about the RIM thing, getting it unlocked voiding the warranty, i have no idea. But i mean there are tons of options out there for you to unlock your Rogers BB for you to use it over seas, so just use that, dont waste the cust service reps time with trying to get an unlock code cuz you wont get it

as for if its legal for them to keep the phone locked, my guess would be yes because the CRTC has yet to say anything, that and Rogers used to unlock phones BUT it costs $250 bucks to do it. its a way of keeping the customers. but now Rogers doesnt care, cuz the only other provider is Fido which is owned by Rogers so either way they are going to get the money from it.


lol either way if you want GSM rogers or fido is the only way to go. and from what i have seen since i have been working with Fido is that Telus and Bell are HORIBLE!!!! not only for customer service but for over charging and not giving a rats ass about you, i can garauntee that Fido will not treat you that way at all! you know how many credits i give out a month, anywhere from 1000-5000$. thats including adjusting errors, accidental roaming, and credits out of my pocket.

No the reason i saw Fido is good is not because i work there, i say that because i have friends on all the networks and OMG they stories out of there mouths is horrid! and on top of it my girlfriend is on rogers and whenever i deal with stuff for her, i swear it takes me about 4-6 calls to get to the right agent and will even look at helping me...

the diff between rogers and fido is everything, the only thing we share is the network. the plans are all diff, the phones, the way we handle out business is all different...
