Samsung Galaxy S21+ prepaid
I have a Telus prepaid account with a Chinese cell phone and I would like to keep this prepaid account since there is money in it and buy myself a Samsung Galaxy S21+, is that I can put it on my prepaid account, is it compatible and just put my SIM card in the S21+ and it will work
THANKS!
THANKS!
If you're just trying to put a new (well new to you) S21+ on a the Koodo network with your existing Koodo SIM card, you should be able to, although if you're moving from a 4G phone to 5G, you may need a new SIM for 5G speeds.
Plus, if it's a Exynos version of the S21+, just know that it's a slower modem to start with (despite slightly theoretical higher specs) even before it's non-NAM carrier focused BAND support. Meaning it will still support the basics to work, but might not be accessing the best BAND/TOWER available.
To check if your phone works on Koodo;

It'll take you to a Telus page, then click on the "Check if your phone is supported" drop-down and enter your IMEI
