    Hello everyone,

    I live in between France and Montreal where I study.
    I bought a BB Z10 in Paris because the prices they offered for it here were just better but I wonder if it is compatible with any of the phone companies in Montreal. Videotron, the company I am with in Quebec is not compatible with the phone because their network use AWS 1700 frequencies but perhaps it is not the case with other companies such as Rogers or Bell.
    I will copy paste the frequencies my phone can handle and Rogers' frequencies.
    Rogers' frequencies:
    GSM/GPRS/EDGE Bands 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
    8:16 PM Bashkar:
    HSPA Bands 850/1900/2100 MHz
    8:16 PM Bashkar:
    LTE Bands 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz

    Blackberry Z10 STL100-2's frequencies: (from Orange France)

    Bandes de fr�quences GSM 1800, 1900, 850, 900
    GPRS Classe 10
    EDGE Classe 10
    3G (UMTS) Oui
    Bandes de fr�quence UMTS 2100, 850, 900
    3G+ (HSDPA) Oui
    H+ Oui
    4G (LTE) Oui
    Bandes de fr�quence LTE 1800, 2600, 800, 900

    Clearly there is no way LTE would work but would 3G work?

    Thank you so much in advance for your help! I really hope I can use my beautiful Z10 in Canada

    I recently travelled from France, via the UK, to the US with an unlocked STL 100-2. In the US I can get 4G (HSPA+) coverage on the 850 band on AT&T (as well as 2G EDGE/GPRS). Rogers and some other Canadian networks operate on the 850 band and Rogers has also rolled out LTE coverage on the 2600 band, so your z10 should connect with >3G speeds on the 850 and 2600 bands in Montreal (if you have an unlocked phone, an LTE-enabled SIM card, etc).

    Hi,
    A Z10 STL 100-2 will work on Rogers frequencies.
