No, you cannot use a telus phone on Bell.

If you want to use the Telus TP2 on Bell you would need to get Bell to accept the Telus ESN. I don't know Bell that well so don't know if they are likely to do so or not. There is no *technical* reason why it would not work, but there is likely a business reason.
It's the same way between Verizon and Sprint in the US. The phones are technically compatible between the two, but both will refuse to activate phones with the other's ESN. Smaller US carriers (such as Metro PCS) will happily activate other carrier's CDMA phones.
Now if you do want to get a TP2 on Bell, you should get an unlocked ATT TP2. That'll support the UMTS/HSPDA network that Bell has rolled out since Bell shares the same UMTS frequencies at ATT. Outside the UMTS/HSPDA coverage area however you will get no signal.
The Telus TP2 only supports the European UMTS/HSPDA frequencies so you can't use that on Bell, even with a Bell SIM. And since Bell only has UMTS/HSPDA (no standard GSM) the Telus TP2 will only see Bell's CDMA network.
not familiar with Canadian providers, but had a chat with Bell and they can inout other providers TP2 esn on their systen.That is what the rep said.
Anyway, I believe a Sprint TP2 can be flashed to Bell or even Fido, I could be wrong but doubt it
Anyone doing it?
I have this dude on another forum (not phone related) looking for Smartphones on the Rogers Network (in Canada).
I have absolutely no experience or knowledge of Rogers Network so I was curious as to any suggested phones that are compatible with this network so I can pass the advice along.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys, I have a question and hopefully you can answer and point me into the right direction.
I recently moved from England where i purchased my HTC sensation, and i moved too Canada, British Columbia. My phone is S-off and everything, so i was just wondering if i can get it to work in Canada, and what i would need to download and change or w.e else for it to be able to work on canadian simcards?
any information is greatly appreciated
Thankyou

have you tried a canadian sim? your phone may already be unlocked...did you 'buy' it or did it come with a plan?

what bands do they use in canada? in the uk?
the sensation comes with
3G 900/2100
OR
3G 850/1900/2100
you need to find out which one you have, and then go with the telephone company that supports it
sorry, i don't know how to find out what you have, i'm sure other people do though
Hey man, thanks for the reply, i found out the in Canada, it is 3G 850/1900 MHz them two bands for 3G which i am not too bothered about, i would just rather keep my phone instead of having to buy a new one altogether. I got my unlock code from the guide posted above which is awesome, but when ever i put in my friends Canadian simcard it just comes up with no service.. it allows me to look at his messages etc however. I will try some other carriers today and see if anything else works
I was/still am on a Vodafone Contract, which is what the phone got shipped with.
This may sound like a really nooby question, but does flashing a different radio help at all? The main carrier where i am is TELUS, so i dont know if any of these; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 would help at all?
Thanks for your help!
Your UK Vodafone 3G frequencies are 900/2100. You would therefore not get 3G there. You need to check whether Telus operate 2G at all. Bear in mind that some operators, like "3"in the UK use only 3G .
For your UK Sensation to work there, you need to find a GSM operator that uses 2G. This is you only option.
or you could purchase mobile wifi 3G (if they do that in canada) and use that to access the internet from your phone
...it's a shame, but your best bet would be to sell the sensation...you simply won't be able to access anything other than GSM in Canada

International z710e works in Canada with Wind and Mobilicity. The 3G frequency of z710e is 900/AWS/2100. Wind and mobilicity operates on AWS.
For 2G connectivity, it's either Fido, Chatr, or Rogers.
You can confirm phone (850 or 900) country/carrier compatibility from:

I did try to post this info yesterday but seem to have completely failed to get it from the laptop to XDA.
For the Z710e it shows the following for Canada:

NP, hope it helps.
to find out if you have the Z710e or Z710a
goto settings>>About phone>>Phone identity. Look at the model number at the top
I believe European models are the same as Asian models which is Z710e. You can get 3G with Wind or Mobilicity networks only. I recommend Wind, they have $29 no contract with unlimited data, unlimited texts including international and unlimited calls Canada wide within wind home zone. Your phone will still work with rogers, bell, fido, kodoo etc. but only 2G
Anyone have Cincinnati Bell on here? Wondering if the OTA has been rolling out?
Nobody on Cincinnati Bell?
I think Cincy Bell is a pretty limited network ....
Hey everyone!
i Have a rooted HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile unlocked), which i got off ebay a while back, all is fine with it. I just decided to go back to ebay and check how the prices changed, and came across this note:
Please note; this is not the T MOBILE MODEL. This is the NORTH AMERICAN MODEL which has the 850/1900Mhz, (850/900/1800/1900) MHz) frequency. This means it will work with AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus, Virgin and Fido.
I live in Toronto, Canada, with the T-Mobile Sensation on the Rogers network. I have noticed that maps and GPS were a little slow and finding a signal was usually just a little slow in some places. Is this a result of not having the North American frequency? I mean, it hasn't bugged me at all, except for the GPS on HTC Locations. I have no idea how the radio thing works, yes, i am a noob haha.
Is there another radio i should flash? Would it be BETTER if i flashed a new one, more than it would be necessary?
I only asked because i came across this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360022
Thank you!!
