    Hi @Julian_k

    Mobile providers plans to begin phasing out its 3G network starting July 31, 2025, making VoLTE compatibility essential for uninterrupted service.

    I am pretty sure that it will not work, this phone (if it is the original one) was release around the year 2000

    In summary, the Nokia 6110 cannot function on Fizz's network due to its reliance on outdated GSM technology and lack of support for newer network standards.

    Fizz sells phones that are not expensive like Motorola to replace your old phone.

    Actually, there are two Nokia 6110 phones. The original 1997 2G-only feature phone and the 2007 3G "Smart"phone, running Symbian OS. They won't be able to register on the Fizz network. Vidéotron started in 2010 as a 3G-only network, they never had 2G. They also use Band 4 for 3G, the 2007 Nokia only supports 3G Band 2.

    It is possible 2007 version of the 6110 phone will register on the Rogers 2G network in roaming mode for the time being. But Rogers has announced to shut that down later this year. Plus, you'll run into Fizz' exclusive use on a partner network clause.
