not sure if it will work... but technically, to have the "full" videotron experience, your device needs to support band 4 (AWS 1700/2100) on 3G.

850 and 1900MHz towers are "technically" owned by Rogers even if Videotron and Rogers are now basically sharing networks in Quebec and Eastern Ontario.

older LTE sim from Vidéotron are not necessarily compatible with VoLTE thus might not support the same fallback to Rogers frequencies/bands.
