Can the urbane 2nd edition work with Bell

[Georges loi]

Hello there.

I just got a used urbane 2nd edition. Great watch. I am trying to have it unlocked in ordering to be used on a Bell network.

Seems it can't be unlocked ( using unlock codes from website such as unlocker.com) because I am getting the message "cellular network not available". When I am following the unlocking procedure .

Any help would be appreciated.

I've not heard of the Urbane 2 being locked. I purchased mine new directly from AT&T and it was unlocked from the beginning without any effort on my part. I've never used AT&T and have been using a different provider without issue. Which version and location?

Edit: Nevermind, I see it's Bell in Canada you're attempting to use. Do they have similar GSM bands as AT&T?

They are all unlocked from the factory, no need to get a code.

to be used on a Bell network

If you have the AT&T version then yes, it will. I use mine on Koodo which is the same bands. No LTE though, but still 3G.

Similar, but only for 3G. LTE bands are different in Canada.

Thanks you all for your replies.

I installed my Sim card and rebooted the watch. And still can not make calls

I have the following message status for the following settings :

1. Network operators : no available network
2. Network : empty
3. Network type : unknown
4. Service state : out of services
5. Roaming : not Roaming
6. Network state : disconnected
7. Phone number : my Sim card phone number is there
8. Access point name :bell mobility pda.bell.ca
9 .network operators : no networks find

Any help would be appreciated

3. Network type : unknown
4. Service state : out of services
5. Roaming : not Roaming
6. Network state : disconnected

It seems like it can read the SIM card fine, but can't find a network. Just curious as it wasn't mentioned above, but which model did you purchase? I'm fairly confident only the AT&T model has the right bands for Canadian networks.

Sorry to be so ignorant but can you tell me how I can know which model I got? And from which original carrier?

I bought it from someone in the US. I ask him from which carrier it was and didn't get any reply yet...

Settings> about > regulatory information

What's the FCC id? Ending in w200a is AT&T model. w200v is Verizon.

You need the ATT version. The W200A. There's also a 3rd version, the W200, which only works in Europe.

You can check compatibility here: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...h-urbane-2nd-edition-lte/bell-wireless-canada

Mine is the w200a version (att), got it 8 month ago and works like a charm on Videotron using LTE. I have AW 2.0 dp3 installed on it.

Under regulatory it says "complies with IDA standards DB 102260 Republic of South Africa ICASA TA-2015/1601

That does not look good lol

Can you tell me how I can get the model number?) I am not sure if it is a W200a??

Do you have the original box?

 

[Georges loi]

I don't

If it's mentioning anything about South Africa I can guarantee it's not the W200A model, unfortunately. So that leaves you with 3 options. 1) try to return to the seller, 2) sell it yourself, or 3) use it with bluetooth/wifi only.

 

[Downwind]

The model number should be inscribed on the sim panel on the back of the watch.

Ah I should have noticed that.
