Cell Phone Provider Plans

  Switching Cell Phone Providers

A cell phone usually can't be used with another cell phone provider. If you have a GSM cell phone (used by Rogers and Fido), then you can unlock it at some cell phone stores so that the phone can be used by more than one GSM provider. With an unlocked phone, you can just change the SIM card to change to the new provider. In Canada, Bell, Telus, Koodo, Solo, and Virgin use CDMA technology so their phones don't use a SIM card.
