Hi,
i am interested in buying the Rogers Nokia Lumia 900, unlock it with a code, and make it work on Telus.
Questions to those who bought the Nokia Lumia 900 from Rogers:
1) Does the LTE will work on Telus Network?
2) Is the Internet Sharing locked?
3) I figure we can still get the April 16th update when we unlock it?
4) Where did you bought your codes?
Thanks in advance!
not sure for questions 1-3.
4. I bought mine here... www.remotecellunlock.com
for the Rogers Nokia Lumia 900 it was USD$ 8.79 and code was delivered in 35 minutes
1. dont know
2. now this feature is locked.
3. yes
4.www.cellunlocker.net 7.99 USD, unlock it night before sleep and got it when i wake up
From what I can tell the Rogers version really doesn't have LTE.
Just pentaband.
Onced unlocked I will let you know about the AT&T version on Telus....still waiting.

Thanks guys for your replies.
However, I am surprised that no one on Telus is able to give me answers to my questions.

I see!
Did you receive the Nokia update yesterday/today? It is apparently available!
In what region are you? I am in Québec!
And i find it strange that the internet sharing option is locked out for your phone, did you bought the AT&T or Rogers device?

i m in Newfoundland. Also i m still not receiving any updates. I was buying from ROGERS.
Does anybody got LTE in Montreal, because the higher I got was 4G. Strange or when Rogers says that LTE is deployed in Montreal it's only one cell tower near their shop in downtown ?

Oh thanks, I was looking indeed the data plans LTE on Rogers website but I don't see the 6Gb one, does it include teetering as well?

Hi I called AT&T International Services at 1-800-335-4685, you can use skype to call for free.. Anyways I asked if they could give me an unlock code if I bought a Lumia 900 to use outside the US.. the CSR said that it is available and asked for IMEI number and email to send the code to.. but I didn't have the IMEI # because I didn't receive my phone yet.. but Can you please try and let me know if it works??
Thanks
Peoples with unlocked phones, were you able to receive the Nokia update yet?
Is your device from Rogers or AT&T?
I have a Rogers Lumia 900, unlocked and using it on Telus. LTE does indeed work and is fast.
As for updates, I'm not sure how that's going to work, especially device specific updates since it's carrier dependant and Telus doesn't have the 900.

I have a couples questions for you:
- After buying the device from Rogers, where did you get your 'Unlock Code'?
- Did you already had a Micro-SIM card or you went to Telus asking for one? and did you have to ask them to change your data plan for the LTE plan or something?
- You have an LTE icon on the phone?
- Is the Internet Sharing feature working?
- Did you have to make special changes to the settings for your LTE connection to work? Changing APN, etc...
- As for the update from Nokia, you tried the Zune trick of dropping and reconnecting your internet connection or something like that?

Really keen to be an early adopter of WP7, but I can't bring myself to own a phone without the ability of storing 32gb or more of data.
Being in Australia on Telstra I also need a phone with 850mhz 3G.
Given the Omnia 7 and Venue Pro don't support this frequency, are there any other expandable storage devices that will?
The Samsung Focus has expandable storage. is on AT&T so its works over 850mhz for 3G
I'm presuming being on AT&T it will be network locked and not sold outright and unlocked?

Some one over here found this site.. they sell the Focus unlocked
http://negrielectronics.com/samsung-i917-focus-att-unlocked-380.html
Wow, link to the thread? I'd be very keen to find out if someone is using this outside the AT&T network to confirm it is indeed unlocked.
Also if this phone has the AT&T branding or is unbranded.

Already a thread about the 900 working on mobile. Plus that isn't newly released. Its just a Rogers version with a carrier unlock code
I think the question is, if/how well it will work on Tmobile.

Just spoke to the manager over at Negri, he says that the phone will not work on Tmobile's 3g/HSPA+ Network
EDIT: He changed his mind and said that it could and will let me try it on TMO. If it doesn't work he said I could send it back
Apply all updates first without inserting any sim card. Then once the phone has all updates try your TMO sim. It likely will not work. I tried many times to get a Rogers Nokia Lumia 900 to work with Mobilicity and it was futile. That was before the updates came out. I sold the phone well before that so don't have anything to test with.
Mobilicity works on same AWS 1700/2100 frequency that TMO has so I'm going to say it will not work. But hey.. no harm in giving it another go. Let us know how it works out. Make sure you can get your money back !
Yeah try it with the updates. The update is supposed to fix connectivity issues. I'm curious to know. I would have purchased one already to try on Tmobile but I can't until June when I'm back in the states.
It is to my understanding that unless Tmo changed in your are how it handles 3g and 4g you will be stuck with Edge. Tmo traditionally used UMTS 1700/2100. Tmo had announced that they where going to use 1900 for hspa+ (4G). If they did then you will be able to use Lumia with 4g and edge. Thats what I understand at least.

According to the Rogers 900 box, it has 1700/2100 HSPA/WCDMA band on the phone plus the Rogers version is a HSPA 42 device (ATT's is only HSPA21). I will give it a try and see what happens. I have screen shots of the online chat I had that said I could get all my money refunded if it didn't work on T-mobile. I won't get it until the end of the week
If it does have hspa 1700/2100 it should work yes. But why would they sell another device? Wouldn't it be cheaper to take the one they are already selling and unlock it and sell it as is? Regardless no specs on it.
Have you received the phone yet? any news?
Sorry, I have been swamped with final exams this week. I didn't receive the phone. Actually before it got shipped, the guys over at Negri tested the phone out with a Tmobile sim card and they only got edge speeds out of it. I told them to send it to me anyways. I figure worst case senario I can still sell this thing on Ebay (unlocked ones go for around $700-750) or let my girl friend use it (she's been dying to get out of her iPhone)
I've had my Roger's 900 for a week now unlocked and can only get Edge data speeds on Tmobile. I spoke to Roger's and Tmobile and they don't understand why. I think I'm going to sell on Ebay and wait for the Tmobile 900. I've confirmed that they are training employees on the 900 so it should be soon.

Because Tmo uses 1700/2100 and most unlocked phones do not run on that freq. Memory serves me right Rogers runs same freq as A&T so it won't be able to gt 3g, Maybe hsdpa+ IF Tmo is broadcasting it on 1900 but I doubt that.
Because it's LTE 1700/2100 not AWS 1700/2100. I wrote ths message back about a month ago. Check the Rogers Nokia Lumia 900 on Mobilicity posts.

Hello All,
Quick question: I have an unlocked rogers version that I use on fido. I received the latest software patch, still on ICS. Does it come from fido or lg?
Also, when JB comes out will I get it while on fido network?
Rogers owns fido and uses the same network. This phone is offered on rogers and not on fido. That's why I'm suprised I got the update and I'm hoping I get JB. Just don't know who sends it.
I asked this question in the Canadian Update Thread but got no responses. Please excuse me for the double post.
Finally, the phone is unlocked through Rogers, according to the guy I bought the phone from. I think this may be true since after the update the phone still works with Fido. If this is the case, will I be able to root my phone, install custom ROMS and continue using the phone on any network with needing to unlock the phone again?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm a total newb and coming from IOS, completely new to android. JB IOS was second nature, I just have to relearn everything for Android.
Thank You
Doubt the phone is unlocked. Most Rogers phones work with Fido without unlocking. Best way to check if it is unlocked is to use a non Fido sim.

I see. Don't know anyone that's on another carrier other than Rogers or Fido.
Is there another way to tell?
thanks
Your phone receiving updates from rogers
Your phone always will be unlocked if it was once
Are talking about the fido board network, which is dead for 15 years or there an another Fido exists?

thank you. I was hoping it was LG who sends the updates. Since it's Rogers and I'm on Fido, they don't support the phone I have, my only choice will be to root the phone.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean about the Fido boards
Cause of provider specific soft/settings/specs, not many chances the update policy will ever change.
About the fido - there was a board network every old style geeks know about - the FIDO. Well, in one word - thats a legend, like floppy disc, spectrums and other things.

JB update for G
Hey Guys. i have see a video in youtube for Optimus G JB update already leaked ofcos for korean first. Does any one have any idea when is official release?
youtube.com/watch?v=jInp9DeNko0
Fido is the cheaper partner of Rogers. They use the same cell towers and networks, but have separate accounts and plans.
Similar to how Koodo is the cheaper partner of Tells, and Virgin is the cheaper partner for Bell.
(I miss the old FIDOnet boards. So much nicer than web forums or mailing lists.)

Hello guys! I'm using the I747M variant which I bought from Rogers about 8 months ago and I want to know if I can switch to other carriers network here in Canada via unlocking because Rogers' available phone plans are just a pain in the ass so I want to switch networks. So please kindly share any information regarding unlocking and changing carrier networks. Thanks in advance

Once unlocked, It is guaranteed to work with Bell and Telus.
Hope this helps :good:
Search for it, it's around here in the forums for free. You just need a simcard from the next provider you wish to go to.

How about on other networks such as Mobilicity? My mom is on a plan on Mobilicity and I also want the same plan because my phone is kinda useless without internet and not even a caller ID.
once unlocked it'd most likely work
but for the data part, i can't really say because different mhz on different carrier network..
so 70% chance that you will only get Edge in your area
Does anyone knows any information on how to change radio frequencies on a phone? I've seen some SG3 on ebay.ca that is labelled as "Pentaband" and could work with any carrier network here in Canada. Can someone please explain to me how does this work? And is it possible for my phone to be converted into a "Pentaband" phone?
Mobilicity does not use the same bands as Rogers, Bell or Telus for its HSPA/HSPA+ service. As Pcshano said, your phone would work on Mobilicity, but only on Edge.
You encounter the same problem as T-Mobile users in the US, and WIND and Videotron in Canada. See [WIP][BOUNTY] Enable 3G on 1700MHz for ATT Galaxy S3 i747 on efforts to enable HSPA on 1700MHz on the i747.
Okay, I have a general question, can someone please help?
You can use your existing phone on T-Mobile network provided it is a GSM phone and unlocked.
I called T-Mobile and she said you can use AT&T phone on T-Mobile WITHOUT unlocking it because AT&T and T-Mobile have an existing service agreement. Yet, when I call my local store, they said it has to be unlocked regardless.
So which is true? Can I use at&t phone on t-mobile network just like that? Or it has to be unlocked no matter what.
Thanks.
You should just wait till tomorrow and buy the tmobile version. Atleast you know the bootloader will not be locked.

Need's to be unlocked. Maybe they were confused with roaming agreements. Tmobile has a roaming agreement with ATT to use some of their towers.
Make sure the phone supports freq bands for Tmo. I believe you need 1700/2100 for the regular network and 1900 for their refarmed LTE.

best to test it out yourself with tmo sim and note3. nothing like a good experiment.
