If the phone from Asia is GSM, it can be reprogramed to be used on Rogers. I know a couple friends who have phones from Hong Kong and they're using them here.

hey cluster, you should bring the phone in to get updated in software once you recieve it, the Siemens phone you bought has been known to have horrible software issues where the screen either just blanks out, or nothing responds. A few of my friends have had that problem with the phone and they had to send it back to Siemens to service Just letting you know if you didn't know already
