rudavil: Several people have been wanting to know the actual model. If it's found that it's an old GSM only phone then all this effort is pointless. Rogers themselves intend to shut down their old GSM like what's going to happen with 3G here in a few years. So even keeping an old GSM phone on Rogers will become obsolete.
If this Nokia flip phone is old, there's a chance that unlocking it won't help because this could be a 2g/GSM-only device that won't work on any of other Canadian carrier.
Never mind. A quick search says the Nokia is locked. You'll need to figure out the previous provider and get them to unlock it. If all in Canada. If not then you have a harder nut to crack.
What happens if you put the sim in yet another phone or the one that it was previously in? If nothing pops up then it's the Nokia. If a code request pops up then it's the sim.
Can you give us the exact message the Nokia is giving.
