[GTALUG] legasy cell phone repair in Toronto?

[Karen Lewellen]

well..that depends.
This is an lg f4nr.
The eBay ad from second life cellular in Maple Ontario claimed the phone 
was 
unlocked.  when I got it here having PC mobile put  the sim code from my 
currently  slightly damaged bell handset of the same phone into this new 
one,  it did not work.  When the mobile shop tried another code, it acted 
as if it were tied to freedom mobile instead.
Freedom provided a code they believe is the unlock one, only for sim codes 
to claim  it is  wind mobile,  which freedom mobile bought some time back.
The phone itself is functional, new one I mean.  The problem is actually 
unlocking the phone itself.
