Is it possible to unlock a rogers htc dream g1 to a telus network
Im getting mixed messages from unlocking company's
Someone told me "That phone will not work on hspa"
But people say they have unlocked it to telus?
Im buying a second hand phone to replace my bl40
So its it possible to use my telus sim for the htc dream?
I am not quite sure. Rogers is GSM, Telus and Bell used to be CDMA only networks, but they have built a sizeable GSM network now, so you could concievably use an unlocked Rogers phone with a Bell GSM sim card, you'd have to check the bands to be certain though. Try calling up Bell and asking, tell them you're thinking of bringing an unlocked Rogers phone over.
It will work fine. Robelus all use the same HSPA 850/1900.

Could I flash a telus diamond with a rogers rom to use with rogers sim? Will it work?
thanks

No, you'll need to SIM unlock the device.
No.
The Telus Diamond is CDMA, so it doesn't use a SIM. Also, the Rogers GSM ROM won't play nice with the Telus hardware and you'll end up with a really pretty paperweight.
It's possible, though not exactly easy, to transfer from one carrier to another as long as they are on the same standard. As an example, you could go from Telus to Bell or from Rogers to Fido, but not from one standard to the other.
Even if you're going between two carriers that are on the same standard, make sure that they have the same radio bands, as they differ from one geographic region to another. What that means is that is you buy a GSM Diamond from Europe, chances are that it won't have all the neccessary radio bands to access Roger's 3G network here in North America, so you'll be stuck rocking EDGE only.
Good luck, and I hope you find this helpful!

I have an unlocked Bell Vibrant. I am planning a 10 day trip to the US next month and saw that the Bell travel plans are absolute rip-offs.
I was thinking of buying a prepaid SIM once in the US, similar to something shown here http://www.usasims.com
Will this work with my phone, I am not sure it the I9000m is a gsm phone or not. I guess its quad band, so it should work...but looking for some assurance and advice!!
Thanks!!
You'll need to get an att Sim card to utilize 3g. Only 2g won't work Verizon's cdma network
I'm currently on a Canadian TELUS carrier, IncS Unlocked and rooted.
Originally a Bell phone, will this now work with WIND Mobile?
I'm running Black rose, S-Off device
you need use a program for simlock off
But the phone was originally locked to Bell and now unlocked so I can use on TELUS. Doesn't that mean it would work on all other carriers?
Unless Wind is different somehow?
My IncS was bought off someone else and it came with ARHD, S-Off'd and immediately worked with another carrier (He was Bell, I TELUS)
Could someone help me out with this?
Thanks

Your phone is likely SIM-unlocked, so it'll work on any compatible network (Rogers, Telus, Bell, AT&T in the US, etc). Wind Mobile operates on a different type of network from Bell or Telus though. According to Wind's website (here) you need to have a phone that can operate on an AWS network with bands 1700 and 2100 MHz. Wind Mobile is the only network in Canada that operates on this frequency and the networks that I mentioned above operate on the 850/1900 MHz frequencies.. HTC's website (here) unfortunately does not list the Bell Incredible S as being able to run the frequencies (1700/2100 MHz) required for Wind's network.
That being said, there is an international version of the Incredible S that DOES run on the right frequency, but I don't think these phones were sold in North America and the North American phones were sold without the 1700/2100 frequency.
Anyway, I hope that makes sense!
I hear those commercials on the radio all the time was thinking of switching myself.... Best suggestion is to phone them and ask if the incs is compatible. Would really like to know what you come up with.

Please see this previous thread. also note that a quick search is always better than starting a new thread.
a sim unlocked bell phone will NOT work on Wind/Mobilicity/AWS providers (unless they offer 2G Edge services)
the radio in the phone is NOT compatible with AWS carriers.
Hello,
I have a T-mobile HTC ONE M7, I'm planing to switch to Verizon, Will I be able to get LTE/4G?
Is my Tmo M7 supported at all by Verizon? What network will I be able to connect to?
Is there any way to make my phone support all or some of Verizon's bands? A ROM or a Radio!! Maybe something else!!
I have tried to find this info, but I couldn't. The only thing I found is that both T-mobile and Verizon use the 1900 band for LTE!!
Please if you know anything about this let me know
Thank you

T-Mobile is a GSM phone which doesn't have any CDMA bands, so you will surely limit yourself on their network. Also, T-Mobile and Verizon have different partition tables so the firmware and roms are not compatible. If you know someone on the Verizon network, ask them if you could use their SIM card to see what type of service you get with the TMO phone. Here is comparison chart of the various HTC One's, check out the Secondary Cellular Phone.

Like said above, TMO htc one use GSM bands and Verizon use CDMA bands. Your phone also need a MEID # (the equivalent of the EMEI for CDMA network) which you don't have on a GSM HTC One (manufacturer-assigned). And afaik, Verizon will not accept non-verizon phone on their network. Your best choice if you want to quit TMO is to choose another GSM carrier (AT&T for example). Your phone also must be sim-unlocked to change carrier.

Thanks guys for the replies, I thought there might be some way to change bands :cyclops: I'm not an expert lol
Looks like I will be switching to ATT

Hi all,
I have a Verizon HTC One (M7) that I've brought with me to Canada. According to Verizon, because the phone is an international 4G LTE phone, it is already unlocked. I plan to cancel my Verizon number and get a new service from one of the wireless providers here (Telus (Koodo), Rogers (Fido), or Bell). I would like to know which one of these operators will be able to provide me with 4G LTE data service (if any)?
I am currently using my phone with my Verizon service on Rogers' network, and I have access to data with only 3G speeds (I'm not sure it's HSPA+ or not; it says only 3G on the screen). The phone obviously is capable of higher data speeds, but I was not able to find which carrier provides 4G LTE service on the same frequency band(s) that my Verizon M7 phone is using. I found this page on the frequency bands my phone uses, but it's rather confusing.
Could anybody give me some tips? Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks a lot...
nobody knows a Verizon One M7 is campatible with which Canadian carrier?
