Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / March 2004Handspring/PalmOne Treo 600 from Rogers
According to Rogers webpage, they now offer the Handspring/PalmOne Treo 600 for $875CDN (no contract/commitment)... any ideas if this phone is unlocked like the Palm Tungsten W that they are/were selling? I really want to use the Handspring/PalmOne Treo 600 on the Fido network. My Handspring VisorPhone bit the dust and now doesn't work properly... looking to get it updated. No, it is locked to Rogers network. From their FAQ page: (sorry, can't paste URL because it is VERY long!) Can I use my Treo 600 purchased from Rogers Wireless with service from another mobile service provider? Description Using my Treo 600 purchased from Rogers Wireless with service from another mobile service provider. Answer No. The Treo 600 with Rogers Wireless service is locked to the Rogers Wireless network and cannot be used with service from other providers. > According to Rogers webpage, they now offer the Handspring/PalmOne Treo 600 > for $875CDN (no contract/commitment)... any ideas if this phone is unlocked [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Handspring VisorPhone bit the dust and now doesn't work properly... looking > to get it updated. -- > No. The Treo 600 with Rogers Wireless service is locked to the Rogers > Wireless network and cannot be used with service from other providers. Wow. For $875 you'd think you'd be getting an unlocked phone. There are plenty of phones over $500 that are locked... Two phones that come to my mind are the SonyEricsson P800 and the SonyEricsson P900 (both are being sold in the neighbourhood of $750 or more locked). > Louis Lavall?e wrote: > > No. The Treo 600 with Rogers Wireless service is locked to the Rogers > > Wireless network and cannot be used with service from other providers. > > Wow.

You can try the unlocking procedure here: http://www.techwarelabs.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=7542 No clue if it works or not. > > According to Rogers webpage, they now offer the Handspring/PalmOne Treo 600 > > for $875CDN (no contract/commitment)... any ideas if this phone is unlocked [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Handspring VisorPhone bit the dust and now doesn't work properly... looking > > to get it updated. Thanks for the link. I actually already have these files. I was going to buy a Treo 600 off ebay or from another service provider in the US and then unlock it with those files but because the unlocking process voids the warranty with the service provider, I decided to buy a company (Handspring/PalmOne) unlocked Treo600. I'm just a little disappointed to read from Cantel/Roger's webpage that their Treo600 are locked. I'm just wondering whether it is true or not... > You can try the unlocking procedure here: > http://www.techwarelabs.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=7542 [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > Handspring VisorPhone bit the dust and now doesn't work properly... looking > > > to get it updated. Thanks. After you supplied me with this, I managed to find the same information on Roger/Cantel's FAQ page. I'm wondering whether it is true or not or whether it is just their way of keeping non-Roger/Cantel customers from using their Treo 600 on another provider's network. After all, when Roger/Cantel sold the Tungsten-W, they sold it unlocked. I'll wait until a store with a liberal return policy has it and then will buy it without service to see if it is actually unlocked. If it is locked, I'll just return it and get my money back. > No, it is locked to Rogers network. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > -- I think you can stop referring to it as Rogers/Cantel, it has been Cantel for quite some time. Rogers is acceptable and everyone will know what you are talking about. BTW it's PalmOne as well, not Handspring/PalmOne. > Thanks.

I have tried it with a Fido SIM, and it does not work. Sorry! CU > Thanks. After you supplied me with this, I managed to find the same > information on Roger/Cantel's FAQ page.
