weird, the cashier at the spadina/college 7-11 laughed at me when i asked to buy the $25/365 day expiry airtime. she said it was only the $75 and $100 that had 1 year expiry.
but i just called the don mills 7-11 and they said the $25 airtime they sold was 365 day expiry. which is should be right?
it's my first time to buy airtime, i started using speakout with a sim that already had mins on it.

Talk for as little as 20¢/minute; text for 5¢. And with SpeakOut, your time is yours, good for a full 365 days, and any unused time rolls over when you buy more. Airtime can be purchased in 4 denominations. Check 'em out.
Voucher Value When Activated Rate per Minute Effective Rate per Minute Total Airtime Minutes
$25.00 $25.00 25 cents 25 cents 100

You should be fine with the 365 day expiry for your $25 voucher.
Your voucher should say right on it "$25/$50/$75/$100 expire 365 days after activation.

Hi Matt,
ALL SpeakOut airtime refills last 365 days. They tried to introduce a top-up voucher that cost $15 and had an expiry date of 30 days, but that was cancelled before it really got going (thanks to the outcry brought on by users of this site)
I have found unfortunately 7-Eleven clerks can be clueless. I talked to a clerk at a 7-Eleven once, and he said he was unaware of SpeakOut!
Rest assured, no matter what denomination of top-up you buy, they all last 365 days.

ok thx, i guess that clerk just didn't know what she was talking about then.
i only use my phone for text, so i guess buying the $75/$100 airtime card won't help me much since it only lowers the min rate, not the text rate?

Buying either the $75 or $100 card will make a bit of a difference on text. Buying those higher priced top-up vouchers, changes the "effective" rate, regardless if the top-up voucher is used on calls or texts. You get a bit more money than the $75 or $100. It would be a nominal decrease though. Instead of the $0.05/text charge to domestic numbers, the "effective rate would be something like $0.04/text.
Please also note the chart on the home page of this site, under the heading "Summary of "effective rates"

With a $75 or $100 card you get a 20% bonus. So that's 20% more minutes, 20% more texts, etc etc.
Or you can look at it like all the costs are lowered by 20% - per minute rate is 20cents, monthly fee is 80cents, texts are 4cents, etc.
If you're going to use at least $75 in airtime/texts/whatever per year, then get a $75 or $100 card if you can.
