2100mHz and 1700mHz are the frequencies the phone will use. Wind uses AWS (1700/2100). It's not always compatible with the other big 3 carriers LTE depending on the device. Telus I believe uses 850/1900 HSPA (3G) and 2100mHz for LTE, if memory serves. None of the Telus towers I've seen info for online use 1700.
Also doesn't Easyhome just sell refurbished cell phones? Their website only shows them, no brand new unlocked ones. They are also royally over pricing the phone. $15 * 104 = $1560. The 16GB unlocked Z10 sold by Blackberry through Amazon Canada is only $260...

Yes, BB Z10 is supported on the TELUS network. If the phone is not from TELUS then you need to unlock it if it isn't unlocked already.

Hi Rodney, In addition, as long as your phone is unlocked you will be able to use it with the Telus prepaid platform.

As long as the device supports our network frequencies, as was mentioned before by @Nighthawk , you should be fine.
