Hey guys,
I am going to sign up with mobilicity in a while and I will be buying a Nexus S from a outside source since it is cheaper. I assumed that all Nexus S phones were the same but I have been since informed by the Mobilicity sales rep that there are several versions with different ranges of frequencies and not every Nexus S will work on their network. The phone I have been looking at has the following specs:

2G Network: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network: HSDPA 900 / 2100

From what I've read, Mobilicity seems to operate on 2100MHz, so this phone should be fine right? Also, if I decided to leave Mobilicity and go to another provider, what other options would I have if I used the same phone?

Thanks!

 

Darn. So the i9020t only works on mobilicity and wind... That sucks. The guy at Mobilicity lead me to believe that if I bought a phone from him I could move it to Rogers/Telus/Bell. I thought I was being clever going without a contract in case mobilicity wasn't very good and I wanted to switch to one of the big 3 companies. Oh well. Do all phones have this problem e.g. MyTouch 4g (or Panache as mobilicity is calling it)?

Edit: Is it possible to get 2G on this model (i9020T) on Bell/Telus/Rogers?
