None of them will work with 7-Eleven SIM cards, because they are CDMA phones, not GSM phones. I don't want to stop any such phone sales, so don't take this as a negative comment... it's more of an... informational note.

I have a motorola i730 that is an old telus #
It has a sim card, if unlocked will this phone work?

That Motorola sounds like it's on the Mike network. I doubt it would work.

I believe it was mike through a company called clearnet. How does that affect it's ability to recognise a foriegn SIM when unlocked?
Thanks for your reply.

I did a quick search.
The Motorola i730 is an iDEN phone and only works on the iDEN networks like the Telus (formerly Clearnet) Mike network or Nextel in the US. Bell might have an IDEN network as well, but I'm not sure.
It's not GSM and even though I know very little about iDEN networks, I doubt an iDEN phone will work on a GSM network, regardless of whether or not it uses a SIM.

I have a motorola tracfone from the US. (prepaid wireless network with a lot of flexibility but insane rates). It is called a motorola C139 GSM phone. In the phone I can select 850/1900 MHz. I guess if it is GSM, it should work even though it is foreign?

Tracfones do not work with Speak Out sims. Tracfone's firmware is hardwired, and they can not be unlocked.
