OK, Speak Out and Petro Canada run off Rogers.

Will the Samsung Hype accept a SO SIM card? Does anyone know?

Yes, the Hype will accept a SpeakOut SIM card. But if the Hype is locked to the Rogers network it might cause problems (however, even locked Rogers phones worked with SO in the past).

If the phone is locked to Rogers it will work with SO within Canada. You won't be able to use a non-Rogers SIM outside Canada, e.g. an AT&T SIM in the US, unless you get the phone unlocked.

I bought a Hype in the Rogers Paygo package and am using it with my Speakout SIM without any problems. Of course you can't use all the Rogers functions that are on the menus and softkeys such as the internet access.

I like this phone a lot. It has a very nice audio quality and the keyboard makes it easy to create address book entries and messages. I love the size and shape as well.

I am going to try to unlock it so that I can take it overseas,

Thanks, that was pretty much my plan. Get the Hype and then either go with SO or PC.

This phone sold at $89 in Rogers store and walmart. But try to go to London Drug, they sell at $79 from 27th to Nov.1st.

Best Buy has it for $75 until this Thursday. Would it work with the new unlimited browsing feature?
