Help: Motorola v220 unlock?
Hey, everyone?F
I just got my new cellphone Motorola v220 from Rogers. then unlocked it by 'motorola_unlocker_...' software and it displays 'done'.
so anyone knows how to check if this cellphone is really unlocked? just insert into another sim card? (i have another Telus SIM card)
Thanks._______________

Unlocked
I am not sure why you need your phone unlocked unless you plan on using it outside of Canada. Since you are in Nova Scotia, I am not even sure Fido has a network out there. So there is no way for you to test it, unless you find a SIM from a US Provider or a Fido User.

why someone dislikesthis cellphone? v220 is a nice free entry level camera phone ans supprt quad-band.
there donot have fido in nova scotia, but i guess aliant or telus uses sim card. actually i only wanna check if this phone is unlocked._______________

Jul 24th, 2005 01:38 AM #7Hehe, the last time I renewed, Rogers customer retentions rep advised against this phone and suggested the free Nokia 3220 instead. Originally Posted by yun555

Jul 24th, 2005 02:43 AM #9Telus does have a sim card, but the sim card is just to back up contacts, it does not contain network information etc., but its just to save contacts from your phone into the simcard to transfer to another cdma phone, so you dont lose everything when you change phones, but some phones dont have the option for cmda phones of inserting a sim card, but a rogers sim card put in the telus phones will not work, but only a telus sim card will work, and the phone does not run from the sim card, hope i cleared a few things Originally Posted by Gee

Jul 24th, 2005 03:08 PM #11Some Cdma phones have sim slots, not all of them, and i doubt you can take a telus sim card and put it in a gsm phone back back up the contacts because telus sim card are just a memory storage it has no network, and you know your phone does not function when you have no sim card, it has a screen saying please insert sim, so i doubt it can happen Originally Posted by Gee
