I'm having the same issue. My Telus phone broke yesterday and I went onto ebay for CDMA phones and the phone I want is hard to find with the provider telus. There are quite a few with Verizon (Motorola RAZR V3) is super expensive to buy from telus without a contract( i still have 17 months on my contract)

Just to clarify again, Telus is quite strict on not allowing foreign ESNs on its network. Unfortunately that means all phones on the Telus network have to be either new or old Telus handsets.

Ok I gotta very specific q for you people.

If I were to buy a Sprint or Verizon branded Blackberry 8130 CDMA and unlock the ESN would Telus adopt it?
