Thread: Can I use a Fido phone on a Telus service?

to make things alot simplir.
no because fido phones are gsm
which need sim cards.
telus phones dont work with sim cards.

there is no spot to put sim cards in a
cell phone

On the Fido website it says:

buy phone on 2 year agreement
buy phone without contract
buy phone on prepaid
buy phone only

If I "bought the phone only", could I use it on any network? Specifially Telus.

No...
a] Fido locks their phones, but they can be easily unlocked to work with other network providers

b] Telus, Koodo, Bell, Solo, Virgin... those companies use CDMA which doesn't take any form of sim cards or have any form of simcards...

Fido and Telus are 2 different types of networks... It's like an apple vs an orange... they're different... but they're still fruits... like fido and telus are cellular providers.

As per your topic, i can understand that you want to use Fido phones with Telus sim card. Whats your phone brand and model? Is it unlocked or carrier locked phone ? Note : If your phone is unlocked, you can use Telus sim card with it . If you have carrier locked phone, you can't use it with any networks . If you want to unlock your phone, use unlock code . You can use it with any other carriers internationally . Many of the online vendors like TheUnlockSpot.com provides unlock codes to unlock phones from network lock
