Canadian sim not working with uk N900

i landed in canada a few days ago and bought a Rogers pay as you go sim, for the phone to say unrecognised. Is there a way to get it working? I'm moving here permanently in a few months and want to keep the phone. Itworks here but i'm paying UK roaming rates for texts and calls which obviously isn't viable long term

N900 spec:
GSM 1800
GSM 1900
GSM 850
GSM 900
WCDMA Band I (2100)
WCDMA Band IV (1700/2100)
WCDMA Band VIII (900)
Rogers in Canada:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 2G GSM, or 2.5G in the case of EDGE)
UMTS/HSPA on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 3G GSM)
OUCH!!! I could be wrong, but the N900's bands (900,1700,2100) don't seem to overlap with Rogers 3G bands (850,1900) so no 3G for you over there?
As for not recognising the sim, might this be a rediculous UK firmware issue? Are you using a global or UK firmware version? Flashing to a global one mightn't help since it's unlikely to update any radio firmware at this stage..
Other people have reported using the N900 on Rogers (2G only) with relatively few problems.. perhaps there's something funky with their payg sims?
Which network do you roam onto? I take it it's rogers?
Does the sim definitely work? Any chance it might be dead.. or in need of some perculiar activation?

    ... have checked our system and did not find your iPhone listed...  Please contact Apple...

    The iPhone 4 may not work with a cut down SIM. Get a microSIM from your carrier when you set up service.

    Dear sir
    I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
    Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
    And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
    Please tell me whats the matter?
    My phone serial no  86034HTCA4T
    Modem firmware  04.12.09
    Thanks

    Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
    the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
    contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
    used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
    iPhone unuseable.

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

  • Sims 2 not working with QT 7.6. Will there be a fix?

    The Sims 2 is not working with QT 7.6. The Sims 2 (Aspyr) web site acknowledges this problem and state they are working with Apple to fix this. This game is not cheap so rather disappointed at the moment. Anybody know if this fix will really happen? I don't really want to downgrade my QT Pro even if this would help?
    Thanks.

    Whoops, I see this is quite well covered under "Quicktime 7.6 causes Sims 2 crash Pages ".

    i bought an unlocked iphone 4s from dubai but it does not work with an indian idea sim..help

    If you are both on the T-mobile network, the sim card should work.  If you did a Erase All Content and Settings, then she should be at the point of activation as a new device...talk to T-mobile and be sure the sim she is using is a valid sim card.

  • 3gs not working with different sim

    Hi
    Just upgraded my 3gs which was purchased unlocked from the apple store. It was working fine and still does with an o2 sim but will not work with a virgin sim. It says "No Service" have also tried disabling 3g, but still nothing. any ideas?

    Hi there,
    if your Virgin SIM-card does work in another phone, have Apple doublecheck whether your iPhone 3GS's IMEI truely is flagged as unlocked. If you bought it as a brand new iPhone, it should (in most cases) indeed be factory-unlocked, else if you bought it as a replacement outside the replaced phone's warranty, there might be problem with a faulty database entry, since iOS5 update apparently changed the way the lock/unlock status is verified during the activation process.
    This is causing many people to end up with locked phones after the update. Anyway, it is something Apple can change rather easily, once such error is confirmed.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • Iphone 4 model MC603B/A is not working with any sim card

    Hi,
    I just bought myself a Iphone 4 and it is not working with any sim card so far. So far I tried everything, even bought sim cards from different countries to see if that would work. I tried the sim cards in others phones and are working correctly in those.
    Several websites says that this phone is from the UK?! but even the sim cards from the UK arent working.
    I have the legit firmware form iTunes and im up to date. (no jailbreak or what so ever)
    Let me how to fix it.
    Gr. WIlliam

    No, it is NOT OK to talk about jailbreaking either.
    As for why it is criminal, ONLY the carrier has the legal right to authorize unlocking it. In some countries (as it was in the US until recently and may be again soon) it is legal for an individual phone owner to unlock thier phone, it is not legal for a 3rd party to do so.  Also, those services are not just "unlocking" the phone, they are gaining unauthorized access to a commercial database. That is a crime in almost every civilized country.

  • GUYS MY iPHONE 4 IS NOT WORKING WITH THE SIM CARD IN ZIMBABWE,HOW DO I UNLOCK IT?

    GUYS MY iPHONE 4 IS NOT WORKING WITH THE SIM CARD IN ZIMBABWE,HOW DO I UNLOCK IT?

    Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to is capable of unlocking it.  You'll have to ask them if they will unlock it.  Some will, some won't.
    Hope this helps
