FYI if not aware of it there is an active forum at https://old.reddit.com/r/dumbphones if you are interested in feature phones. And if still looking for a repair shop, try dufferin mall, there are several indy phone businesses in addition to basically every carrier in the GTA https://dufferinmall.ca/stores it's like a mobile phone convention 365 days a year.

Hi Evan, That was where we started in fact. Because manipulating the information into the phone requires vision, I first took the phone to my Mobile shop, which is how I was told about the unlock issue. Reaching a supervisor at the freedom mobile support line led to me getting them to help, provide the unlock code, again back at my mobile shop. It was another freedom mobile support supervisor who suggested I visit a quality corporate freedom mobile store for their in-person sighted help. Indeed my first suggestion in the mobile shop was to call freedom mobile, but apparently they did not know how, leading to several trips for me. Its very strange that the phone says wind mobile for its network as well as an aspect of rogers for some reason.

The corporate store staff at 10 dundase street east is frankly stumped by the problem.
I have Freedom Mobile as my carrier and am quite happy with it.
However, I don't expect staff at their stores to know much more than what phones and plans are on sale on any given day, and the process to create or upgrade accounts. You may get better answers by calling the support line at 1-877-946-3184.
