I was on a plan from my work (Detroit, Michigan) with AT&T with a sony Erricson Phone. My Company has since cancalled my plan but I still have the phone. I was able to get AT&T to unlock it but I am unsure how this will help me back in Canada (Windsor Area). I would like to use this phone so I don't have to purchase a new one. It looks like from a previous posting, I'm out of luck. So should I just throw this cell phone away and buy someone elses phone with a new plan?..
Having area code 248 from Windsor would be a great benefit. Telus looks like they cover 248.. Any suggestions or comments?

If the phone is unlocked, you can use Canadian GSM providers. Your cheapest bet is FIDO. You can get a sim with $25 of airtime for $11 on Ebay. if you are a by th minute type, then go wth speak out, though you need to by a phone, which is at least $50 for the cheapest option.

Thanks,
I'll have to look into those options. What other providers are GSM? If I get a SIM as you said, will I get a new phone number with it? I did check out the Speak out, sounds pretty good If i can get a card with out having to buy the phone...

Petro Canada and Rogers also sell GSM phones, but they are more expensive. You have pretty lousy options in Canada.

Look in the Phone Exchange forum on this site. There are always people offering to sell Speakout SIM cards, which you could use with your Sony phone.
