Trying to find a SIM for a NOKIA

HI!

I was hoping to find a SIM that would work on my Nokia E65

I tried one of the normal SIMS but the NOKIA doesn't detect them. I have tried several SIMS on several Nokia's.

Is there perhaps a special SIM that works on Nokia that Telus can provide me?

Thank you!

As I said, the E65 is NOT COMPATIBLE with any Canadian networks. UTMS is another way to say 3G and the E65 only supports Band 1. Canadian 3G uses a combination of Band 2 and 5. The E65 physically does not support those frequencies.

Please note that the Nokia uses GSM/UMTS Technology

That's an ancient phone (2007). The Nokia E65 is not compatible with Canadian networks. GSM was only available Rogers/Fido and that network was shut down in 2018. The phone uses a 3G frequency that is also not available in North America either. I have a Nokia C5-00 that I'd like to use but it has the exact same issue.

@Nighthawk is correct but I feel you on that nostalgia, @billy_2020. My old Nokia E72 is one of my all-time favourite phones.

Thank you so much for your reply! But the Nokia E65 is dual channel.

So if GSM doesn't work is UTMS available in Canada?
