Hello,

I've read on this website that SIM cards will work in any phone that works with the rogers network. Yet when I talked to the customer service rep on the phone he said that the SO SIM card would not work with any other phone besides SO phones. I also spoke to the clerk at 7-11 and he said that the SIM card would also not work on other phones other than SO.

Can anyone confirm that a SO SIM card will work on my unlocked phone? (There is a rogers SIM card in my phone right now and it works fine). The phone is an HTC Aria with 1900/850Mhz

Thanks

Yes, it should work. SpeakOut only support phones they sell of course, but a SpeakOut sim card should work in a unlocked GSM phone that uses the North American 850/1900 mHz bands.

An unlocked HTC Aria has the required specs to work with Speakout SIM cards. I have not personally tested this though.

I am using an unlocked HTC Aria from AT&T with SO. It is working fine.
I have the unlimited data plan but only web browsing seems to work. This is normal for SpeakOut as they block everything else.

Normalish. The problem with Speakout data is that the data has to go through a proxy to work. That means all applications, and not just the browser, also need the ability to go through a proxy. Most Android applications natively do not have that ability.

There is apparently a hack In Android that you can set to allow this. But sadly, you need to root the phone, and since I do not own an Android phone, I cannot be of much help. :(
