I am selling a brand new/unactivated SIM for $35 (including shipping)

I also have a brand new Nokia 1661 that came with it as well - yours free of charge if you live in Calgary and you can do local pickup. If shipping is required, there's a $15 shipping & handling charge (Canada Post ExpressPost would be used). The SIM is still inside the phone and has not been removed.

spn1661.9.chausey@spamgourmet.com

I am located in Calgary (NE).

Payment: Either cash exchange (local in Calgary) or if you're outside of Calgary, INTERAC e-mail money transfer (don't have paypal - sorry).

Thanks!

I'll take the Nokia 1661 off your hands for $15 🙂

I'm sending you an email now. My dad needs a new phone, and his birthday is coming up 🙂

Sorry. You guys are funny giving me a hard time! 🙂

I need to rephrase my original posting. The brand new Nokia 1661 is your for free or $15 if I need to ship but that's if you buy my SIM!!! LoL. I'm not selling the phone for $15 or giving it out for free.

Thanks!

Yes, your ad is worded wrong. First you state, that you are selling a sim for $35 including shipping.

Then your second paragraph states that you also have a Nokia 1661 for free of charge if you are local, or for a $15 shipping charge.
It doesn't state that you have to buy the sim with the phone.

OP you better word your post properly.

I am opposed to buying SIM here...but caved in after 3 years.
Now I found out As one Seller here stated, Selling SIM with $25 time...is actually $5 time on SIM. Got screwed both ways. My PetroCanada transfer lost $35 time remained on old SIM. Paid $25 for Speakout SIM here. And now I have to buy $25 Speakout Time voucher. So its loss for me

All this because One seller here thought something and posted SIM sale which was not accurate.

"For Sale 'SIM with $25 of minutes"

So to all posters please be accurate.

Guys, I'm super sorry for the confusion. I thought that "The SIM is still inside the phone and has not been removed" would have cleared it up. I'd edit that post if I could but I don't know how.

Since it's my honest mistake, here's what I'll do:
- If you live in Calgary and we can do local pickup (same deal): SIM and phone for $35. The SIM & activation code stays with the phone (ie. The entire package unopened is yours) for $35 if you're in the city.
- If you live outside of Calgary and I have to ship: $35 for the SIM and because I made that honest mistake, if you want the phone too (ie. the whole package), you pay me only $7 extra and I will ship you the whole package XpressPost. I will absorb the rest of the shipping cost (assuming you live in Canada of course).

I hope that makes you happier! Again, I'm very sorry and promise to be concise next time.

I agree with the OP - I had no trouble understanding his intention

Sold (1) SIM.

Remaining: 1 unactivated SIM (by itself) and 1 full bundle (unactivated SIM & Phone)

Correction to subject header: I was told that the SIM does not come with a 403 area code (there's no number assigned) -- you would need to call in with the activation code + store number (that I'll include) and you can choose your own area code.

Thanks.

I don't think you can choose your area code.
The area code depends of your store number from what I have been seeing.

I previously called in to activate a new SIM for an Aunt and the customer service representative asked, "Which area code would you like to activate in?" Then, I asked her if it could be anywhere and she indicated, yes. It's kind of like if I already have a 403 number, you can easily transfer that over to your local area code. The one thing I don't know though and didn't ask is if you can choose 416 or 905 if both are local to you type of thing.

I went thru their Automated system and I got the numbers according to stores it was bought from. But from your experience you bypass the automated system and ask CSR for it.

I had very good experience with Speakout Phone CSR (Ztar?)
They were great. Porting my petro canada number to Speakout took almost 28 hours.
