Phone says no network after activation.

I'm using an old model of sony Ericsson w205. How do I know if the phone is unlocked?

I got a new number I didn't transfer old number.

Hi @twinx 

You need 3g phone with bands 850 and 1900

I'm sure you can find something in kijiji fast

I heard you can get a cheap phone on costco, not in the mobile section but where accessories are

Any phone working with Telus or bell will work too, bell phones just must be unlocked

As mentioned above, your phone will not work on Public mobile network.  It is a 2G phone only.  Unable to support 3G or 4G bands.

Technology	GSM
2G bands	GSM 900 / 1800
	GSM 850 / 1900 -W205a

Might work on Rogers/Fido network at the present moment.  Rogers and Fido does support GSM until the end of this year.  Afterwards, the 2G network is suppose to be decommissioned.
