Hope that it helps.

There are some models that supposedly won't even work on the Public Mobile Network even if it's unlocked because of the frequencies the phone is capable of.

@zazbot420 the phone can be locked to Telus or koodo.

Also not all unlocked phones will work. Only phones that have the frequencies that Telus supports.
