Will unlocked Z10 STL100-3 work on Wind Mobility?

I was with Bell before, I want to switch to Wind. Phone is unlocked, but not sure if it will work with wind, couldn't find answers anywhere ..

If you have any ideas regarding it working or not, please let me know. (:

You probably have a STL100-3 RFF91LW. This should work on WIND's 3G and HSPA+ network.

The thing is, BlackBerry's documentation doesn't really say that the RFF91LW should work on WIND, but other people who have this particular 100-3 on WIND say that it works just fine.

WIND's native Z10 is the STL100-3 RFK121LW.

I can confirm this model works on Wind. Originally a Rogers phone but when unlocked it'll boot into the logo of whatever carrier sim you put. Data speeds are great and am having no issues with it! Enjoy!

Don't forget that if it's not unlocked and the code won't work, try the first 8 digits.

Currently on the Wind 40 plan and loving it!

One other thing... data will NOT work on Mobilicity with this model... only calling and text. I had to switch but Wind is offering sweet deals for Mobilicity customers making the switch.

Weird. Mobilicity uses exactly the same bands as WIND. Wonder if it's a locked APN issue...

Precisely, I tried to change it to bb.davewireless.net (or something like that, I forget) but the settings are locked off so it's a no go. Wind has much better service anyways IMHO (Coming from a Mobilicity user since day one)

Interesting. So did you have to manually enter WIND's APN, or was that automatically populated when you put your SIM card in?

The WIND sim updated the APN automatically. It now runs Internet.windmobile.ca but nonetheless it's still locked.
