    I have an LG Keybo with a text and talk plan (Monthly) and it does not havva sim card. If I buy the new iphone 4 on the american release date, bring it back to canada, could I ask telus to transfer all my info to a sim card and put that card in the iphone? If not, is there any other way this result can be achieved?

    Because Telus/Bell has a 3G only network, my guess is that the service coverage will be spotty with a 3G phone like when Fido/Microcell Launced in 1998. (sucky service) Telus still has a lot of tuning to do to their new network.
    Actually construction has begun on the LTE (4G) network, including upgrades for most 3G only service areas

    Yes, In several weeks / months time you will be able to use any phone that has HSPA 850/1900 on Telus: (ie: 3G iPhone, N95 Nokia, Blackberry Bold etc..)

    If you do a manual search on your phone, you will see the HSPA network...

    The future of Telus will be HSPA / CDMA phones... You will be able to switch SIM Cards and use it with other HSPA phones ie: Blackberry Bold.

    As hard as it may be to believe, Telus does have an agreement with much of the world's GSM providers.

    Since Telus uses CDMA in Canada, they will not make any agreements with GSM providers in Canada. They will make agreements with other CDMA carriers.

    Also, the SIM may not even work in much of the world (even when traveling). This is because not only does Canada use CDMA, much of the world does too...now.

    The phone will ALWAYS prefer CDMA...no matter where you are. Then, if no CDMA is available (and Telus has an agreement in that country) then GSM will work.

    No you can't, because there are no Roaming agreements in Canada with Rogers. (That's why the SIM Card only works outside of Canada)

    Actually, TELUS recently installed a HSPA 850/1900 Network.. perhaps if you have a 3G phone, it will work with the SIM Card?
