Supposed to be supported on Telus and Bell but neither will register using automatic or repeated manual attempts, phone reboots or power-cycles, always "SIM card registration failed" (automatic) or "no access" (manual). Called in again and gave them 24 hours to fix or I apply for a charge-back on my credit-card for the $19 plus shipping charges.

if you don't sort it out give a try to piranha simcard, they have excellent rates for Canada

I moved on from Telna. Just too unreliable for me.

Have you tried a 3G phone?

Yes, 3G is a necessity for Bell and Telus, they only have CDMA and HSPA (and beyond), not 2G GSM.

But doesn't piranha also use telna's infrastructure?

I received my piranha sim last week. So far, so good, here in the US. At least I do not have the "sim registraton failed" issue that I almost always get with Telna.

no, different call routing and even different voip app.!
i'm very very satisfied with piranha simcard, after using several other international simcards all these years.

Follow-up on my issues with Telna Mobile not registering. Turns out it is incompatible with my phone! Tried the SIM in a friends Samsung Galaxy Android phone and it registers fast on Bell. My phone is a Nokia 603 running Symbian Belle FP1. Works with every other SIM I've got, including another roaming SIM (Tru), but will not register with the Telna SIM.

So you are saying that the moto L6 does not work int he US? The US version is a quadband phone and should have worked. Now, the non-US version is Triband (900/1800/1900) and should have worked on Tmobile as well, since that's what Telna roams on. My suspicion is that you have another issue not phone related.
