New Promotion is free headset with purchase of RAZR ($100)?

The manager at a local 7-11 store here in Edmonton told me that the new promo is a free bluetooth headset with the purchase of a Motorola RAZR phone that is $100. She said it does not include any airtime. Can anyone confirm this because she didn't sound too sure about it.

Which model RAZR?

New or refurbished?

Locked or unlocked?

CDMA or GSM?

Quadband or just 850/1900?

I've seen refurbed V3s that are unlocked, GSM and quadband for as low as $100. If 7-11's are new, unlocked and quadband then they're a bargain at $100, nevermind the bluetooth headset.

(Then again, they may have meant a CDMA phone that's locked to Virgin, in which case that's a big yawn 😉 )

The one she showed me was RAZR (the original - V3, I think)

She didn't mention that it was refurbished, so I'm guessing its new (aren't 7-11's phones always new??)

She didn't say whether it was unlocked/locked/GSM or CDMA but if their sold at a 7-11 wouldn't they have to work with 7-11's speakout wireless network (and for that they would have to be GSM)?

I bought a Rogers RAZR from Best Buy a week ago for $130 and that included a leather case which is usually around $20 and $10 in bonus activation airtime. So I figure alot of places are going to start offering the RAZR at around $100 now.

Not necessarily. 7-11 also sells phones that work on other prepaid plans, e.g. Virgin, that are CDMA. Those wouldn't work with SO.

Thats news to me. Is there a phone number/email address where we can directly reach the 7-11 people in charge of these promotions to get some reliable info.

Thanks

I'll be near a 7-11 store later today so if I have the time I'll pop in and look. I'm pretty sure they sell Virgin prepaid.

In any case Virgin offers refurbed Moto V3c CDMA phones for $89 and PCM offers a thin Samsung m300 with Bluetooth for $99 so the offer you were told about is not out of the question.

Hey Bylo, were you able to stop by at a 7-11 and ask them about the current promo? I asked around at another 7-11 in my area and the girl working there said that there are no other phone promotions going on right now.

Yeah, but they were useless. To give you an idea of just how useless, the most recent pages in the flip chart at the prepaid display were dated December 2006.
