I'm stuck on bell for a little longer, and i needed a new phone. the telus p4000 seemed like the right way to go, that is if i can unlock and use it on bell.

I've already purchased the telus phone. I just need help activating in on bell. help please.

is that possible? i thought it wasnt possible to unlock cdma phones and use on other networks...? if this IS possible, then news to me lol

bell won't let you activate the telus version of that phone on there network. your best bet is to return the phone and wait until the bell version comes out, which should be soon from what i was told by a bell rep and a few other people inquiring about the phone.

Hello,
I currently am on Bell as well, I bought a Telus UTStarcom 6700 PPC and I got it unlocked and got it activated on Bell with no issues, you just need to have a friend at Bell that is willing to do an ESN swap for you, the difficult part is getting the unlock code for the P4000 and knowing how to enter the programming sequence. After that setting up the phone (Home SID #, etc) for bell is quite simple.
Hope this helps!
Moez.

DO NOT BUY the p4000!!

i am going onto my third phone. take the device back right away, telus is have significant problems with it.

do a search for yourself, don't get screwed!!

my old ppc6600 was faster on 14 of 22 benchmark tests than the p4000.
with the mobile 6 upgrade it is faster on 10/22, a small improvement.

if they can get the reliability issues dealt with there may be hope. currently, my phone does not always ring through so i am back to using my ppc6600 and I LOVE IT!
