Yes
As long as your BB/8520 takes a SIM card, because it's unlocked it'll take any carrier's SIM card

Thank you.
I thought that I could use it on any company, but when I went to buy a SIM card at Bell, Virgin and Mobilicity, they told me their network don't work with my phone. That is why I wasn't sure.

Speakout uses the Rogers network, which uses GSM. Your phone is GSM compatible. Bell/Virgin, Telus/Koodo/President's choice use 3G HSDPA network, and do not use GSM. Mobilecity uses another technology

That doesn't make sense, I think the newest HSPA all use SIM card
Koodo/Telus/Bell all use SIM card. I've got Koodo SIM cards at home (used in Android phones)
Mobilicity/Wind uses AWS so not GSM

The Blackberry 8520 is a GSM only phone, which means it can only work on the Rogers network, of which Speakout uses. The Blackberry 8520 is not a HSPA 3G phone, so that means this phone will not work on the Bell/Telus network. Bell/Telus do not support GSM. This phone can work in a limited way with WIND, but only when it uses the Rogers towers, which is expensive.
