use whatever phone you like(any unlock GSM), the IMEI doesn't matter EXCEPT for account management. For example, when I wanted to port out from my petro-canada account to SO, I have to provide to SO the original IMEI tied to the number for the porting. Which I have long forgotten and changed phone. Finally need to call up Petro canada support(the same operator as SO actually) and ask them for the information.

Make sure the new phone is unlocked or is a Rogers branded phone. At the least, the phone must be able to do GSM, at the 580 mhz and 1900 mhz frequencies. If you plan to use Speakout browsing, you may have to put in APN settings on the new phone. What phone are you interested in?

I have a speakout phone service on a unlocked GSM phone and I want to buy a new phone. If I understand it correctly, the phone number is tied to the SIM card. I also remeber that I have to provide the current phone's IMEI when I first activate my SIM. My new phone will have a different IMEI. Can I just move the current SIM to the new phone? What else should I do to get the new phone to work.
