Yes, any phone sold for use on the Rogers, Bell, Telus network will work on this service. If in doubt, use this site to check band compatibility.

It's $199.99 on Amazon (similar model) I think.

Came here to say that Amazon is your friend for buying unlocked phones!

@alexei52, Keep in mind that The Source might not sell you the phone if you don't have an account with the carrier. You will probably need to find a phone that is advertised as 'unlocked'. Walmart even has a bunch on their web site. We got a Moto G5 recently. I was told by my tech savy sone that it is a great phone. Time will tell... Advantage with Walmart is that if there is a problem initially, you can just take it back to a local store. Same with Staples.

What is your budget?

Any features you want/ need?

Apple or Android?

New or used?

You can also look online for unlocked phones (Amazon, B&H Photo, etc.)
