Hello,
I'm currently on the SpeakOut 200 minutes and unlimited text plan on a smart phone. However, I'm going to sell the smartphone and am considering going back to my old Samsung A920 flip phone.
I believe it is locked to Bell and I terminated the Bell account about a year ago before joining SpeakOut. How can I transfer my SpeakOut account to the Samsung phone?
Thx

You cannot. The A920 is a CDMA phone, and it is incompatible with the Speakout service, or any service except Bell. If you wanted to use the A920, you would have to get a Bell account, and all I can say with a quick look at the Bell plans, yuck!
If you are looking for a nice flip phone, I own this one. http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA.....583026en02
It is tough as nails, and it only cost $2 to unlock it. It actually sounds good also!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm now going to get the Alcatel 356 that SpeakOut offers. So, can I transfer my account from my iPhone to that telephone? Also, how long will it take?
Problem is that it's not as simple as putting the iPhone's SIM into the Alcatel. The iPhone's SIM is micro-sized and besides, the Alcatel already has a SIM in it I think.
Thx in advance

The account is tied to you SIM card, and not the phone. There are adapters out there that can convert micro sim cards into mini sim cards, so that is not a real issue. What carrier does the Iphone use? Bell/Telus SIM cards will not work with Speakout phones. Fido might, and Rogers should.
