Want an iPhone but you your cellular provider is Telus? Lets see if a Telus Mike Sim will work on the iPhone in Canada.
First, I will show you the Telus phone to show you that it is on Telus and has a sim card to prove it is a Mike phone.
Next I will insert the Telus sim into my iPhone.
Does it work?
No of course it doesn't work because Telus Mike is a iDEN CDMA phone and sim card. The iPhone only works on GSM. There is no CDMA version of the iPhone and probably will never be. If Apple had reached an agreement with Verizon Wireless back when they were searching around for a home for the iPhone, there is a very strong chance that the iPhone would have already made it to Canada on Telus, or possibly Bell. But Apple made the right choice in making the iPhone a GSM cell phone since 80% of the world uses GSM. If the iPhone did come to Telus, I wouldn't have switched to Fido. But I am happy with Fido now and even happier that I have an iPhone. Hopefully I don't have to switch to Rogers when the iPhone is finally released in Canada.
It was fun to try at least.
