Does it mean if I need to use my local GSM phone in HK and China during my trip, I must get the unlocked phone from HK ?作者: siumaibb 時間: 2008-11-19 13:57
nono, you can unlock most phone you get from rogers/fido here
if you're willing to sign up for a plan and you don't care about getting the latest/greatest model, get the phone from rogers/fido作者: pkphilip 時間: 2008-11-19 23:47
Phone prices are about the same in HK and Van.

Are you saying unlocked by Rogeres/Fido agents ?
I've been using Telus phones for years and don't have any GSM phone unless travelling in China and HK.
Now, I need to stay in HK/China two months in a year. When my contract with Telus is expired early next year, I want to switch to GSM system and don't care much about the fancy phone. To be honest, I don't mind a cell phone without camera, MP3, Video player.... as long as it's slim and reliable. Therefore, I want to know should I get one unlocked from Hong Kong if I need to join Vancouver local plan anyway.作者: OncInc 時間: 2008-11-21 15:41
If you have low usage, you can consider PetroCanada Mobility. Get the Nokia 3555 which is an unlocked world band phone. So you can use it in both HK and Canada. It is $149
Also, the prepaid service they offer is $0.20 a minute. Recharge has 180 day expiry time. Good for low volume user作者: Hyde 時間: 2008-11-21 16:34
then just buy a phone in hk and buy pre-paid peoples card to use in hk
