Your N900 is not locked. The frequencies used by Telus is not compatible with the N900, which is why you don't see the network. Only Rogers/Fido (at Edge speed), Wind and Mobilicity can work with the N900.

Telus & Bell's new HSPA network will not work with many phones

Bell & Telus do not have the GSM/EDGE network to fall back on like Rogers/Fido do.

It will not support Nokia N900. Rogers, Fido and Wind will with Edge (Data)

To see what networks work with the N900 see this link Here is a link to the coverage maps. TELUS uses WCDMA on 850 and 1900 MHz. The N900 uses GSM on those bands.

@OP
On the plus side, this bizarre setup should give you an out in your contract if you so choose.

N900 supports the following(from the wiki) :-)

GSM Quad-band EDGE 850/900/1800/1900

WCDMA 900/1700/2100 MHz, Tmobile 2100 Mhz, U.S only

Does your old SIM (from the previous carrier) work? Or if you don't have that account anymore, try a friend's SIM from that network.


Between the two sims you didn't install the leaked pr1.2 instead of the official one, did you?
