[Q] HTC Sensation 4G unlocked? Canada version?

[thalungz]

Hey guys, I have an HTC Sensation 4G here, I just bought it second hand. It was supposed to work with mobilicity (once unlocked) and the person who sold me it, said it was unlocked..However when i put my mobilicity SIM card in, I get no service...

I took it to the mobilicity store and the guy said I have the wrong version?? He showed me this page on gsmarena: hxxp://VVVVV.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation_4g-3922.php (xx's to t's and v's to w's)

And then told me i have the canada version and it won't work?? So is this true? Is there 2 different versions? And if so, is one of them not compatible with mobilicity?? Or does this guy have no clue what he is talking about, and just wanted to get rid of me fast lol...

My sensation has an SH serial and is an HTC-Z710a if that means anything.. I really want to know if I should re-sell it and look for this so called U.S.A version or do i just need to unlock it properly?? Thank you so much for reading and hopefully reply. Have a nice day...

I think you have the north american version. Same as the one from bell and virgin mobile. It won't work with wind or mobilicity.

Yes i do have the north American version. So there is nothing I can do to make this work with mobilicity?? Is there a software mod that fixes this? Or is it a hardware issue that prevents it? Thank you VERY much for your reply.

It's hardware and something you cannot change. To be sure, since it's unlocked, get a buddy on Bell, Rogers or Telus to try it out. If it works then you know you have the wrong one.

Mine is HTC-Z710e
So it's working with Wind and Mobilicity
Z710a is not AWS phone.

According to gsmarena.com
SDPA 850 / 1900 - For Bell (Canada) is not AWS (1700)
