[Q] Does photon work in Canada

---

I know its blocked I USA for other providers

But on engadget it says north america

I know for Verizon global phones like the Droid pro or Droid 3 they work fine in Canada

Secondly if it does work does it need to be unlocked?

Thanks!

i should add does it need the sprint sim to be in there for global or can any sim be inserted
And is neone working on removing the gsm ban for usa

The phone is unlocked for GSM so you should be able to pop on a Canadian sim. As far as I know only US carriers are blocked.

wouldn't the phone just roam on the CDMA towers in Canada?

there arent really any more major CDMA in canada, its all gsm
i just hope that popping a canadian sim card in to it is enough

I travel for work in Toronto all the time, and have never had problems CDMA roaming.. (very fast there actually..)

@mark

does sprint charge extra to roam in Canada ?? i'm planing a trip there

Yes, but it's a fair price. $0.002/kb vs. at&t's $0.015/kb. Use droidwall to block data access to the apps you need.. I usually spend an extra $20/30 for a week in canada in roaming charges.

Voice calls still cost too much I think (but they may have a plan to make it cheaper..) - i just use my phone for data..

I am thinking to get one,
does it work with Canadian carriers(or any countries other than US) even voice and data?
Thanks a lot.

thats what i wanna know
can i pop a canadian sim card, or is it also blocked

or is it just usa thats blocked like the verizion droid globals
