Help with koodo!

[samnellikode]

I got an xperia x10i and i am with koodo so i got a sim card from koodo but it doesnt work with the phone. it says no service. I am annoyed because the android they release, the optimus one has the exact same frequencies as the xperia x10i so i am not sure what i am doing wrong.

LG optimus one-

RF Band HSDPA 7.2, WCDMA:900/2100, GSM:850/900/1800/1900

SE xperia x10i

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS1700, UMTS2100

I thought UMTS and WCDMA are essentially the same thing. Unless my knowledge about this is wrong i dont know what on earth is wrong

Koodo mentioned that the phone i will be using has to be 3g and has to be on the same frequencies so yea.. PLEASE HELP I DONT HAVE A WORKING PHONE

Is your phone unlocked?

Interesting... i left koodo because of the lack of Android Touch phone...now they have some..

Yea it i bought it factory unlocked.. unless i got my info on the frequencies wrong i dont see what im doing wrong. i dont want to waste my money and pay off my tab just to switch to wind mobile or something... interesting thing happened today. i was on the bus and suddenly i got full signal but it was connected to AT&T and koodo sent me a text saying "welcome to usa. you are on roaming charges" and i was no where near the states

have you tried the sim card in another phone? my x10a runs fine on the telus network which is the same network as koodo. plus the x10a is the same phone minus some frequencies. I know when I signed up, i had to transfer my hardware to telus, and they did something on their end to make it work. cant remember what exactly.
