Is MOTOROLA V180 GSM UNLOCKED PHONE compatible with 7-11 speakout prepaid service SIM .
12:37 pm
Providing it works on the 850/1900 bands and it's unlocked then yes, it should.

one more question regarding compatibility: I have an unlocked quad band phone with a sim card from europe. Can I just buy minutes and use my phone with my EUROPEAN sim card? I've read here that a North American sim should be no problem, but what about Europe?
Does anyone know? Thanks for comments.

You might be able to use the European SIM card here, but then you would be roaming (can be quite expensive, up to several dollars a minute) and you would have to top up with that European service provider (rather inconvenient). Remember, the SIM is always tied to the service provider; an unlocked phone is not.

You can, but as Peter says, the roaming fees will kill you. Rogers has a monopoly on GSM in Canada. All overseas SIMs have to use Rogers' network and they get hosed by Ted for doing it. Expect to pay $2 or $3 per minute.
Also depending on the card, you may not be able to recharge the SIM from over here.

No. AFAIK the phone works only on 850/1900 and the SIM only in Canada.

1. What GSM bands does your 2610 support?
2. What GSM bands are used in India and Pakistan?
3. How did you determine that your 2620 is locked?

hi can anyone tell me if i can use the speak out phone cards with my fido sim card?

Hi Seeking better deals
You would need a speakout sim card and a rogers or unlocked phone

seekingbetterdeals,
Unfortunately the answer is no. Your Fido sim card works with Fido service, and since Fido wants to get paid for the service they provide you, you have to buy airtime from Fido.
Same thing with any other company. It's like paying Telus for my Rogers service - doesn't work that way.
However, if you want to switch your service over to Speakout it's fairly easy to do.
Just buy a Speakout phone and sim from 7-11, and then call Speakout customer service to transfer your number from Fido to Speakout (called 'porting out').
You will, however, have to buy Speakout airtime cards in the future (and not Fido cards), and you will probably not be able to use your Fido handset with the Speakout card unless you get it unlocked. Or you can just sell your Fido handset and use the Speakout phone you just bought.
