TELUS and Bell are those carriers. But be forewarned, the likelihood they'll be able to get the phone to work on their networks is slim to none. It's far more complicated to do with CDMA phones than with unlocked GSM phones (Rogers/Fido are Canada's GSM network carriers, like what AT&T and T-Mobile are here). Check both their web sites to see if they offer a Blackberry similar to what you have with Verizon. It might be worth it to get a new phone when you sign up with a Canadian carrier. Welcome to Wireless Advisor, by the way.
