Thanks for your reply zadigre, that was very helpful and I think testing I did last night confirmed what you wrote....I unlocked the device and it worked with a Telus sim, but did not want to work with my Videotron sim.
do you have one of the newer LTE videotron sim or it's one that has access to 3G only?
if 3G only, I believe you absolutely need a device that has support for the AWS band.
If LTE, again technically, it should connect to 850/1900MHz Rogers frequencies on 3G since essentially this is need for a fallback from the LTE network (for calls non VoLTE device or when outside of LTE coverage).
But again, this is just a guess... this is the way that it's supposed to work with a \"real\" cellphone...

if one of these providers ever offered the same ZTE device, they might block it (based on the IMEI of the device) from their regulard plans.

Maybe you got one of the newer sim with Fizz... those compatible with VoLTE.
older LTE sim from Vidéotron are not necessarily compatible with VoLTE thus might not support the same fallback to Rogers frequencies/bands.
