No problem! It's just that I have seen some people copy and paste the same issue, and post in different forums.

Thanks for that update! People will be glad to know that the promotion doesn't expire at the end of this year. I'm waiting for their e-commerce solution, and I was told it should be ready by Feb or March. That will be huge, especially for those that do not live close to a 7-Eleven.

Hi - I'm new to this forum and deciding whether to purchase the $100 airtime with free phone. I have had speakout phones for about 3 years, but am wondering if they are coming up with an email solution. Does the "e-commerce solution" include email capability? Can you tell you tell me more about it, or is there already a link to discussions about this that I have missed?

Thanks in advance.

The e-commerce solution relates to the official site site only. They are looking to include buying items (top-up vouchers) through the site, hence the term "e-commerce"

FYI: In speaking with a customer service rep at Speakout today I found out that the "buy a $100 airtime voucher, get a Nokia 1661 free" promotion is actually effective to the end of February 2011 and not Dec 31/10 as advertised. I double checked with the rep that I had actually understood correctly and he confirmed that this promo was effective til end of Feb 2011.


I'm sure glad I did not wait till after Dec 31st to get in on this deal as I was told by SpeakOut Customer Service that the offer expired Dec 31st.

Also, every 7-11 I visited in person (3) had the banner removed & when I inquired I was told the 1661 with purchase of $100 voucher offer is no longer valid. Also the official website has the offer removed.

Glad I double checked!

Now, there's a promo for $50 air time and $20 off the phone so a 1661 is $39 plust tax.

What I need to know is the 'locked' business. Can one take the SIM card out and put it in another GSM phone? If I buy a prepaid phone at Futureshop for e.g., can I take the SIM card out that's locked to Rogers and replace it with the SIM card of a phone bought at 7-eleven OR a SIM card I could potentially buy on here?

This would be nice to know or get confirmed. Thanks.

The general rule is that the phone needs to be GSM, needs to run on the North American bands, and needs to be unlocked or locked to Rogers. Regarding the last point, Speak Out runs on the Rogers network, so you could replace the SIM card in a Rogers phone (even if that phone is locked) with a Speak Out SIM card.
