Will unlocked rogers 9810 work on bell

**Gunner886** · 08-17-2011, 11:45 AM

I am with Bell mobility and have found a really good price on a rogers 9810 and was wondering if i unlock the phone will everything work like it should on bell?? I am new to blackberry's so any help would be greatly appreciated, also is there any free way of unlocking this device or do i have to pay for a code?

Thanks

Kris

Not true. Telus and Bell, Koodo, and Virgin all run on the same frequencies as Rogers and support sim cards since late 2009. The BalckBerry torch 9810 will work no problem once unlocked.

Yeah my current phone uses a full size bell sim card all i was worried about is the frequencies and stuff i know can be different on carriers

You have no idea what u are talking about. A Rogers 9810 will work perfectly on Bell's 3G/4G network. Bell's HSPA network and Rogers network run on the same frequency when it comes to 3G/4G. I run my Rogers Bold 9780 on Bell and it works absolutely fine. And no u dont need it to be cdma hard coded in order for it to work, since Bell's HSPA and CDMA network run on 2 totally different frequencies and is basically a whole other network alotogether. fyi the Iphone can only run on Bell`s 3G network, since it doesnt have a cdma antenna or support for one.

The 9700, 9780, Iphone 4, Iphone 3gs, and pretty much all the other android handsets on Bell are GSM only, not cdma, The last fone that bell has that runs on its crippled cdma 3g network was blackberry storm 2.

As for unlocking, google "freemyblackberry" they email u a free code in about 24 hours or u can pay for an instant unlock, however, i do not know if they suppor the new blackberries yet.

edit: I just double checked for u and yes xxx.freemyblackberry.com now supports the new blackberries, free unlock is temporarily 24-48 hours or instant unlock costs anywhere from 3-4 dollars depending on ur MEP

Yes, this is very true, if u cant get hspa, then its a nogo in ur area, I can reassure u tho, in the lower mainland, i get veryy decent coverage, sumtimes it even works in places where theres no rogers 2g connection

Thanks! Appreciate the support.

Does anyone know the disadvantages of using a GSM phone on a network like telus or bell? What would a 9930 beable to do that a 9900 cannot? Would a 9900 be able to access the 4G or H+ network?

**krandhawa118** · 08-17-2011, 10:58 PM

The disadvanatge of using a 9900 on telus or bell is that, their 3g doesnt cover everywhere in all of canada, just look and see if ur region is covered and ur good to go, because i get bell 3g in more places than i even get rogers 2g. eg underground parking and whatnot. If usable, get a 9900 and not a 9930, as bell and telus sell the 9900 and not a 9930. because their hspa network is technically 4G, and u can use data and talk at ther same time on their hspa network. This is not possible on their cdma 3g network, and imho, their cdma (EVDO) network is nowhere near the capabilities of their hspa network. They are trying to remove people from their cdma network now. I'm not even entirely sure u can use a 9930 on bell or telus networks.

My unlocked Rogers Torch 9810 works fine on Bell Mobility. What I'd like to know is how to get rid of the Rogers splash screens.

**myfairkadie** · 05-02-2012, 10:12 PM

Its not possible to get rid of the carrier branding. Sorry!

As I always say it's like trying to use a engine from a stick shift in an automatic car, they are both engines and both do the same thing but the design is night and day!

Engines in 5spd or standard cars are exactly the same as the ones in automatic cars (but for very rare exceptions)

Its the transmissions that bolt up to the engines that determine whether or not you may shift gears manually.
