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.

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?

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