Can I use my Telus phone with Virgin mobile since they are both CDMA?

[frilly]

I want the Samsung Slyde available with Telus, but the plans from there do not appeal to me. I want a Virgin Mobile plan.
Can I use the Slyde with Virgin Mobile because they are both CDMA?

Can an unlocked telus phone work with Virgin Mobile?

Contrary to popular belief, CDMA phones are not (and can't be) locked. Carriers have a proprietary inventory list of ESN's and will only allow phones from that list to be activated on their network. That's why none of the Canadian CDMA carriers will let you use a phone from another provider.
GSM phones, like Rogers/Fido, are 'sim-locked' but can be unlocked to work with any GSM carrier.

Unfortunately, you are not able to do that cause the providers block their phones so you can only use it with them...also the other provider would reject your phone

His response was defending 'presgt' and forum etiquette. How is that seen as being a dick.
