SE Model T715a

Can anyone tell me if the SE T715a will work on Bell Mobility's new network?
If not is there a SE that will?
Thanks
Jim

The SE T715a will work on Bell's HSPA network provided that:

1. Obviously, you will need an activated Bell SIM card.

2. The phone is unlocked for use on any network.

There are quite a few suppliers who will, for a fee, supply the unlocking code(s) for this phone.

One caution. T715a phones from certain suppliers are "double - locked", meaning that both the network and "SP" locks are active. That makes the phone more difficult and more expensive to unlock. The T715a sold by FIDO is definitely double - locked.

As for other SE phones which will work with Bell's (and Telus) 3G network, they must have 850/1900 3G capability.
If I want a quick reference for any phone, I use Google. (Eg; Enter "Sony Ericsson model number"). Usually, there will be a number of references to the phone in question. I have found that GSMArena gives a very comprehensive list of a phone's specs.

Hope this helps.

Sorry: No idea as to where you could purchase the unlocked phone. If it's any help, there's a pretty extensive T715a thread in the Fido Forum. You could look through those posts.
