I hope I'm in the right forum for this. I have a theoretical question for those with more experience using unlocked phones than I.
I currently have a Nokia N95 8Gb with Rogers. My plan is the old "Vision Plan", which gives me unlimited web browsing. Lately, I've been thinking of moving to the Nokia N97 Mini. The problem is that smartphones like the N95 and N97 can no longer be signed up under my current plan. I'd have to take a plan that would cost me an extra $15 per month due to changes in how they bill for data usage.
So, my question: let's say I find an unlocked N97, or even an unlocked GSM Blackberry, that is compatible with the Rogers 3G network. If I use that device for data, will Rogers go by my SIM card and ignore me, or will it detect that I'm not using my N95 and charge me a ludicrous amount for the data usage?
