Unlock your Bell phone to use on the Telus network.

Bell Mobility is part of Bell Canada, one of Canada's largest communication companies. Bell Mobility offers cellular devices and plans for Bell customers. When customers purchase a Bell phone, the device is locked to the Bell network. After the device has been unlocked from the network, users can use the phone with other service providers, such as Telus, another major mobile phone company in Canada. Telus phones are not usually SIM card operated, so before unlocking your Bell SIM card phone make sure you can use your Bell device with TELUS.

Step 3

Select your model and phone type on the online unlocking service website of your choice. This will usually be done via a drop-down list or manually typing the model of your phone into a search box.

Step 4

Provide the online company with your contact information, email and the Bell phone's IMEI serial code, which can be found near the battery or SIM card. This is needed to unlock the device, as it functions as an identification code.
