The links are all dead -- and going to the clearance page on The Source web site shows no cell phones.

With Bell having bought the Canadian "The Source" franchise the stores will be shifting from what seemed like a Rogers Store when you walked through the door to a Bell store. If the stock is owned by the franchise holder it, will have to be sold and you might find some good deals there.

It is interesting to have read about Bell Canada purchasing The Source and Telus buying Blacks Photography within days of each other. Ther will be shifts coming in how phones are sold in Canada soon. The Canada wide Telus/Bell/etc. GSM network should also increase the number of options available for phones etc, -- and create even more business for those who unlock phones.

Just cut and paste the 7digit number into The Soure web page search field and it will come up. I do not know how long this clereance has been going, but must of the phones are gone - at least here in Winnipeg.
Hope this helps. 😎

Speak out SIM cards should work with Rogers phones. No guarantees of course, but the odds are extremely good.

Unless you have a very old SO SIM (at least 2 or 3 years old) then it should work just fine. Since these phones have to be bought in-store, take your SIM there, insert it into a phone you're interested in buying, and see if you get service. If the SIM is old, you'll get an error message like "SIM CARD ERROR" when you power on the phone. If the SIM works you'll get the standard SpeakOut banner. If you happen to have an old SIM, just call SO CS, tell them your original phone broke, you bought an ex-Rogers phone and you're getting a SIM error. They should (I've never tried) send you a replacement SIM at no charge.

BTW the Moto W370 at $30 is a good deal. It's a tri-band phone so once unlocked it will work in most places overseas.

So would this phone be speakout compatible?: http://www.thesource.ca/estore.....ct=1718351

I understand that in order to use it I would also have to buy a speakout sim card.

Yabbut, note the asterisk, "*On select new 36-month Rogers Wireless rate plans. Offer intended for new Rogers Wireless subscribers. Existing customers may not be eligible. Term commitment required, early cancellation fees apply. Additional charges and taxes apply. Activation Fee, System Access Fee and 911 Emergency Service Access Fee apply."

So while it would work, the total cost is probably a lot more than you expected.

BTW you can get this phone without restrictions for $99.

oh the small print... I normally catch that one. Thanks.

I just checked the 711 near me and they have 5 of the Nokia 2760 phones in stock. I think I'll just get it with the promotion that should be starting tomorrow and go from there. At least then I'll have a sim card and some air time.
