Since you're checking, if you've bought a used phone, you can also check if it's not blacklisted here:

Most reliable way is to try few different SIM cards (Rogers, Bell, PM, etc.).
If they all work - phone has service you are good to go.
Be aware that sometimes SIMs from the same company - different names might work if phone is locked to That company Telus+PM, Rogers+Fido, etc.

@NanaDeb best way to test, use a SIM that is DIFFERENT from where the phone was originally purchased from. If it was a phone purchased from Rogers, use a PM SIM. If it is locked, it will ask you for a PUK code when boot up. YOu will see something like ""Please enter SIM network unlock PIN""
if you are unsure where the phone was originally purchased , use 2 different SIM from different providers like Rogers and PM
