I will check actually later on today on a completely different network (Rogers) and report back here.
Forgot to check in back on my little test. I removed the Bell SIM-card from my Galaxy Nexus, inserted Rogers SIM-card, turned the phone on and ta-da! Worked like a charm. Network read Rogers name on it, data worked as well. This, folks, is an unlocked (by default) device. Kisses go to Google and shameful looks to Bell for trying to falsely squeeze 75 bucks to unlock an unlocked phone.
