Hi if anyone has a Speakout SIM for sale please email me at toronto23@rogers.com. I can pay you cash or paypal.
Does anyone know why 7-Eleven doesn't just sell these? There seems to be a lot of people asking for one.
Thanks!

I forgot to mention - I have a brand new unactivated Rogers SIM if you want to trade.

They're probably not making too much on the service itself, and so subsidize it by getting the addition income from the phones. I'd expect that to change soon, probably by the olympics when lots of individuals from europe etc start looking for a temporary alternative while they're in Canada. In Europe, and I suspect Asia, various companies sell SIMs with airtime for the price of the airtime only - No phone, no gimmics...

Don't count on it. This is controlled by Rogers not 7-11. Rogers has built into its contracts provisions that SIMs can not be sold separately. Rogers loves to collect it's Roaming fees especially from outside of North America, so don't expect them to make it easy for people to get SIMs which will help people bypass their high Roaming Fees.

I may be mistaken, but I think Fido allows you to buy prepaid SIM without a phone.

I wish after all these years of cell phone providers, that there was a carrier which offered one flat monthly fee for UNLIMITED local calling. As far as I'm concerned, "airtime" charges for local calls is just pure greed. You can get landline and VOIP plans which have unlimited local calling. What makes the cell phone industry so vastly different that they can't adopt this concept.

Not sure who to blame, but the Canadian cell rate is one of if not the highest in the world. I think it is caused by a combination and vicious cycle of govt regulation (high rent cost for the frequency compared to other countries), low competitions among providers (oligopoly), and low population density (infrastructure costs more, more cell towers have to be built).
I've been in a third world country where 1 Canadian dollar could buy you more than 2 hours of air time.
