usually that type of promotion happens in late fall. I am not in the loop on those sort of things. Though I am doubtful there will be any back to school special.

Speaking of free phone promotions...

I have seen a few recent posts in the Phone Exchange forum where sellers are selling new Nokia phones and SO SIMs for around $35.

How is this possible when SO is selling them for $59?

I know there is such a thing as taking a loss, but this seems quite different from that.

Because there is a free phone promotion on. Buy a $100 voucher and get a free 1661. Sell the phone for $35 and you've just go $35 in free air time.

Thanks Andrew.
Where is this advertised? I was just on the SO website yesterday and didn't see it.

Don't think it has been advertised yet, but several members have already taken advantage of it. Unfortunately, not many stores seem to have the 1661 in stock.

I received a free 1661 phone just 2 days ago after purchasing $100 of airtime. The guy in the 711 store told me that very soon the promotion would be extended, to allow the sale of any Speakout phone at $60 off, with the purchase of the same amount of airtime.
