I live in canada, the TELUS network does not offer the 1700i yet, only NEXTEL does in the US, is there anyway to unlock this phone if i purhcase it from the US and utilize it on the TELUS network?

thanks

Even if you do find a 7100i unlocked be careful as Telus/MiKE don't allow foreign ESN/IMEI/PIN on their network...

[mfox7]

so there is no way to bring a nextel phone from the US and unlock it for the TELUS network?

No saying you can't, just a heads up on the policy.

[mfox7]

so can you direct on how to unlock a 1700i from nextel for telus...?

First, it's the 7100i, not 1700i. Second, there's no point. Even if you get it unlocked, you'll have access to phone/Mike service but you'll never use it as a data device (as far as I know, I've heard of other people trying).

Just be patient. Telus will be hopefully be releasing the 7100i very, very soon (by the end of this month if we're lucky).

Say you could unlock it, what does it do really? Like what options can you get from it?
