I bought this phone on ebay from Buffalo, NY and I live in Ontario, Canada. Since Sprint Canada was acquired by Rogers in 2005 according to wikipedia, can the phone be activated with Rogers telocommunication, or any carrier?
Also, does this page have any relevance to what I'm talking about?

I bought a European HTC Hero and it's on petro canada but I want a plan so i'm going with fido and i wondering if my hero would be on EDGE or 3G on Fido??
Petro Canada has their own mobile service?? (For any non-Canadians, as you can probably guess, Petro Canada is a gas station.) That blows my mind.
But anyway... you should be on HSPA (aka 3G+, as opposed to regular 3G.) Fido is the same network as Rogers, so maybe a Rogers customer can confirm this.
lol ya petro canada has a mobile service but it's only per paid and it sucks on the Hero!!
ok thanks man
So i got a tmobile Samsung Galaxy s Vibrant right. and i live up in canada the phone is unlocked and everything but i cant connect to 3G data... i keep hearing thins around the web of people saying tmobile has Blocked the frequency of 3G Data in canada. is that possible? or just a rumor? cause i would just LOVE to use this phone to its potentional not just talk and text....
Only Wind and Mobilicity are gonna work. I'm from Toronto though don't know what else is available Canada wide. All others you are gonna need either the i9000 or the captivate for bell and rogers
3g worked up in canada with a rogers network SIM for me. That was about a month ago. I'm going up Thursday will let you know. Typically I travel to Vancouver weekly and swap my tmobile sim for a rogers.

Still works for me. In Richmond BC right now on rogers sim speedtest results 3617up 478dn
I just got an assignment for the UK, France, and Monaco for 2 months (London, Manchester, Paris, Lyon, Nice, Marseilles, Monaco), normally i work in Greece and use an unlocked HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt on Wave as the carrier, but now i have the Atrix which i would rather use there, so i gave my Tilt/Kaiser to my sister to use while she is in Greece this year.
I have unlocked my Atrix but dont want to walk into the wifi problems, can anyone confirm a hassle free GSM carrier for an unlocked AT&T Atrix 4G? I will be traveling all over the UK and France and hope to use it for email and map/route purposes.
If not i will just sell the Atrix and buy a phone there and wing it. im actually pretty disappointed in the whole unlocked/wifi thing.
thanks!
Hello,
i have test the atrix with orange and now with bouygues telecom, no problem.
You will not be affected by wifi bugs in those countries. The issues we have on unlocked atrixes arent in fact a byproduct of unlocking but rather of some countries being poorly supported in the driver, that said you should be fine with any carrier in those countries.
AT&T is now offering LTE on their prepaid gophone plans. I have a T-mobile HTC One and wanted to take advantage of this. I got it unlocked, paid my $60 and connected to AT&T just fine, but I'm not getting LTE.
I've searched. I know it used to be the case that you could only get LTE on an AT&T branded phone (maybe also unbranded ones?). I assumed with the new plans they'd let anyone hop on LTE.
Anyone know what to do? Is this one of those "borrow an IMEI" situations?
T mobile uses a different band for their LTE so you would need an ATT branded phone if you wanted to get LTE.

I've got a stock, un-branded European i9100 with a Vodafone SIM card in it. I come to the USA, turn on WCDMA, and still don't see Sprint, Verizon, or any of the many other networks that Americans complain about so much. For that matter, it doesn't see T-Mobile either. Why can't I roam onto these networks? I'm not in a remote area -- San Francisco Peninsula.
