Guest MJM11 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 Does anyone know whether or not a Audiovox SMT5600 Smart Phone would work in Canada if it IS UNLOCKED? I want to buy one of Ebay but I want to make sure that I can get it to work with my local GSM carrier (Rogers AT&T, or Telus). If anyone could help me out here that would be AWESOME or if you want email me @ [email protected] thanks everyone!

Guest Confucious Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 What frequency do Canadian telcos transmit on? The 5600 is tri band, 850 1800 and 1900. If you need 900 then you would need a C500 or one of the other variations. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest toothlessjon Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 Just got mine here in Newfoundland, unlocked it online and it works great! Best phone I've ever had!

I am currently using this phone (unlocked) on both the Rogers and Fido Networks.

Posted from my SmartPhone! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The two (2) Canadian GSM Providers transmit on the following bands; Rogers - 850/1900 Fido - 1900 In fact, the 850 and 1900 Bands are the ONLY GSM Bands in North America
Guest Austin519 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Mine worked fine in Vancouver while I was there, over Rogers. I was placing calls at the top of Whistler :D Always fun to do that and ask your US friends "Hey, guess where I am while you're at work. Here, I'll MMS you a picture!" Austin519
Guest mcdata Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Just returned from Toronto. SMT5600 worked great with AT&T service.
