Telus Sim Card
I just got a new contract and my phone came with a telus sim card but I am not liking the phone I got so I was wondering if I could just take out the sim card and sell it? Also, how do I go about buying a replacement phone. Will any unlocked phone that has a sim card slot work with my sim card or do I need a phone that has something extra (i.e 3G) or anything similar or can I use for example any old roger's phone that has been unlocked

The phones that can use that SIM card must be unlocked and have North American 3G. Rogers and Fido 3G phones are OK. If it's from Rogers or Fido and has no 3G, it will not work with the Telus SIM.

Does it have to be HSPA or could a GSM phone work?

Okay thanks, and you are 100% sure about all this right?

What if I decide that I want to go back to a CDMA phone...could I transfer over my contract from my sim card to another CDMA phone that I already have?
