Let's get this solved. I willing to Donate $25 dollars to the person who solves this mystery.
Rogers Name Display:
What is it?
Rogers Name Display is a enhanced call display, instead of normal call display service displaying a number, it also sends the cell phone their name and the number.
eg: normal call display: 1-416-222-2222
eg: Rogers name display: Joe Smith 1-416-222-2222
name will display even though you dont have it in your phonebook.
this is just a software issue, not a hardware issue as Rogers carries their own branded htc phone like Touch, Tytn. it works with their rom but it wont work with a non branding phone.
I am not smart to figure this out, someone out there will be able to figure this out.
Another post where we are getting few to donate, also there are few interesting discoveries mentioned there:

If this question has been answered before I’m sorry I’ve had a search but can’t find anything.
I’ve using a HTC Touch which was on Orange, I’ve unlocked it and now use Virgin.
The problem is when I try to get my voice mail all I get is the message “calls to this number are barred”. This is annoying as this is one of the reason I prefer Virgin you don’t get charged for them.
Is this a normal thing when you unlock a phone from Orange or is there something staring me in the face that I have missed.
Can anyone help please?
it may still be calling the orange voicemail by the sounds of it, check the voicemail number
i moved from orange to Vodafone and then to O2, and have never had that problem,
I just had this problem moving to a SonyEricsson Xperia X1 on Virgin Mobile UK.
My voicemail access number was +44-051-<mynumber>.
Turns out that the phone dialer was taking out the '0' from the dialing string and I'd get the "calls to this number are barred" message.
After trying a whole bunch of different ROMS and spending quite some time on the phone to the Virgin support staff, I was nowhere. Eventual solution was to add an extra 0 and dialling +44-0051-<mynumber> - the phone dialer only takes out one '0'.
Hope this helps some other frustrated soul.

I had a Bell LG Quantum, but always had my heart set on a Focus. Now i have one and am having some issues with the profile setting on the bell network.
If someone won't mind, could you please either take a photo(preferred, more info) or post info from the following:
1.Go to the phone app
2.Dial ##634# and click Send
3.When prompted for a password type 277634#*#
4.You should now be at "Factory Menu"
5.Choose "Engineer Menu"
6.Choose "Other Setting"
7.Choose "view current profile"
In particular, i'm looking for which of the following APN is listed in the phone,
pda.bell.ca
or
inet.bell.ca
if you see either please let me know, and what it's listed beside,
Thanks so much.
from what I can read - what tiny print - it's referring to pda.bell.ca
it for sure pda.bell.ca just checked it now. I have a question, I bought this phone as an "unlocked" bell phone but I am a rogers customer. The phone functionality is working but I cannot get the data (3g) to work. What should I do, I assume I have to change this very setting. Please help!
Let me know if you need other information or the entire xml.
EDIT: I found a solution for making the Rogers data work.
Got into the above mentioned menu:
1) turned ADP on.
2) remove pda.bell.ca replaced it with internet.com
3g seems to work fine now !
However I don't get callerID from Bell customers anymore. Isn't that funny? What should I change to have caller id functional again?

Aha!! Someone else with the same problem! Finally!
I, too, have an unlocked Quantum, but mine's from AT&T and I have the same problem with inconsistent callerID's coming through. I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with your phone though, since I also have an HTC Surround unlocked from Telus (now on Rogers) that has the same problem. And it's nothing wrong with your SIM card, since I guarantee putting that SIM in another, non-WP7 phone will have your caller-id working perfectly.
I haven't found any 'setting' to get this working, and as I say, it's inconsistent, with some landline phones working -- some not, some cell phones working -- most not. I'm still trying to chase this one down.
I think the call display function has something to do with name display. I believe I remember reading this in another thread somewhere.
I don't have name display on my account and I have 0 issues with caller ID
I'm using an unlocked AT&T Quantum.

Hmmmm, interesting.. I'll have to check on my account and see if I have Name Display.
When someone calls you, what do you see? Just the number of the caller?
Thanks.
If I don't have the number saved it shows the number.
By the way has anyone gotten mms to work?
I've tried googling and searching xda but can't seem to get it to work.
I have this same issue

My unlocked AT&T Quantum phone only uses 3G with Rogers and my sms times when received are always coming in with the incorrect time. I looked at the Bell unlocked Quantum and it has a different model# and firmware version, which makes me frustrated seeing as my friend's works fine with everything. What's the point of an unlocked phone if it can't use HSPA on another network? Is it possible to flash the phone to the Bell's firmware? I feel defeated
Ok... where do I start...
A few weeks ago, I remember seeing something on a thread (I am 99% sure it was XDA) that was talking about using a US CDMA/GSM phone overseas. You would purchase a SIM card which would in turn allow you to make calls/text etc with a LOCAL Foreign number.
The thread was a "hack" that somehow would let you do the above... but it would display your US Local number (i think so that you could call back home to US and have it show your number- or google voice number).
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I could be completely nuts.... but i swear I saw something like this.
To clarify- this is NOT VOIP calling (like groove IP which uses google voice and your WIFI to make/recieve calls with your GV number)... this was using a foreign GSM SIM but somehow having it show a differeny number.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this will help... but It's worth a mention

I know how to change the number associated with the phone. I just did it with my US Sprint locked S4. I live in Canada - have a Toronto SIM card in, but everytime I called voice mail it would still call the Florida cell number that used to be associated with the old owner of the phone. First you need your MSL number. (Instructions to get your MSL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271618) Then you go to the phone keypad and type ##111111# (The 1's represent the 6 digit MSL number you got) Hit edit - and it will allow you to change the phone number associated with the phone. Like I said - not sure if this would resolve your problem - but I thought I'd give it a try.
