Generally a couple of resourceful people on this site have been able to post a copy of the following month's promo a few days before the current month is out.

I hope that $100 promo is coming Aug 1st... I am down to $4 of air-time. I could just buy air-time, but I am sucker for free stuff. SO does the promo usually at this time of year b/c of start of new school semester.

That's what they did last year, and I hope they do it again.

I am sure they will get good revenue with selling 100$ air time.

The last few phones that have been bought by people on this site, are being reported as being locked.

I don't even care about the phones. I don't want to make profit. All I want is a SO sim card. I would love if they would just give a sim card for 100$.
The phone would be great just to use it as a replacement

They probably don't give out the details about a future promotion, just the current promotion. Most stores are like that. They can't be be bothered with answering questions that might happen in the future.

You would love to buy just the sim card for $100? Tell you what, just wait a few days, and if the free phone promotion happens in August, then I'll sell you the sim card I don't need for $100. Sounds like a deal to me

If you want just a sim, there are people on here who usually sell it for $20-$35.

i swung by a couple of 7-elevens this morning asking about this promo.

the first said they didn't know about any new promo for august. the second store claimed the promo was the same as july.

i'm not sure if he was correct. i'll probably wait a couple of days to see if head office sends a new memo to the stores....

🙁

I can confirm as well that the August back-to-school free phone promotion is NOT currently happening at the 7-Eleven closest to me.

I emailed Speak Out customer service asking if they're running the free phone promotion this year. I'll see what they say.

Sure, if you have 100$ worth of air-time 😛
What I meant is buy 100$ air-time and just give a sim too, don't care about a phone. Sim is what, 1$ to manufacture?

Just received an email from Speak Out customer service today. Here's a copy and paste:

"Yes we will be bringing back the Buy $100 promotion for the Christmas period.

Thanks for your support.

Is the "buy a $100 voucher, get a phone for free" promotion going to happen this year? I remember it running this time last year.

Thanks!"

So, it looks like it's coming back for Christmas. Good news!

mjbad2,

What don't you understand? On August 1, I posted that there is no back to school free phone promo going on, so I emailed Speak Out customer service that day (August 1, two days ago) to see if they were going to have the promotion at all this year.

They replied today (August 3) saying that they were going to have the promotion around Christmas. As I clearly stated, I copy and pasted my email to them (dated August 1), and their reply from today (August 3).

Not POed in the least. 🙂

I clearly stated that I emailed CS on the 1st, asking about the free phone promotion, and they replied today (the 3rd), saying that the free phone promotion will be available around Christmas. Then you say make up your mind, and will there be a promo or not? I think my post and their reply to my email was easily read.

Relax man 🙂

Group hug, everybody. We might need it for reasons other than message board communication misunderstandings, since it looks like there's no back-to-school Speak Out promo...
