a side note - I thought Virgin Mobile and Telus (maybe Bell) were the only TDMA providers? since when Rogers had non-GSM phones? uber strange!

as far as I thought/know - GSM are phones which use a SIM card and can be used with different providers, TDMA/Analog phones are phones which limit you only to your own provider, they are programmed to work with one only, and do not accept a SIM card

Actually Virgin, Telus and Bell all run on CDMA.

Rogers used to run an Analog network using TDMA. But that is like 6 year old technology and older.

actually telus and bell also has TDMA. Its all the older phones used to run on TDMA, even telus has had its fair share of converting people over to CDMA.Mostly just analog areas or phones.

Wierd thing with this entire process is for my brother he bought a pay as you go through Virgin Mobile, I'm guessing TDMA, but he would top it up and then one day he was sent information with his cell (his num changed) and was told his phone wouldn't work, he'd now need to upgrade. We were totally confused as to whether or not to call Rogers or Virgin b/c both companies would say we'd deal with the other one. Eventually my brother talked to Rogers (his num was switched to a new rogers one mostly b/c of the Gsm switch) and they sent him another phone.

i worked for rogers.. and honestly i don't think they were selling TDMA phones when the RAZR came out.. but ill be a nice guy because you're complaining soo much. you can get a new phone sent to you without a contract renewal. call this number 1-888-936-7283. be nice.. and you'll get your way.

ya i told them that but they said id have to pay full price for the phone with contract renewal it would be much much less but at the cost of renewing the contract
