I'm jumping ship from PetoCan due to there change in time plans. It looks like 7-11 is it. I am looking for a phone that can run Fring (free phone calls in wifi hot spots). Has anybody tried to run this free appliction on the Nokia 2760 from 7-11? Is the frmware on this phone only locked to 7-11 applications only? I mean that you cannot add applictions to the phone via bluetooth. My local 7-11 store doesn't know anything about the phones they sell. Even to buy a phone they asked me to come back, they didn't know if they could sell me a phone. The person could only could sell me time for the phone.
I don't think that any of the 7-Eleven phones support Wi-Fi. You'd have to buy one separately (make sure it's either unlocked or locked to Rogers, and that it runs on the North American cell phone bands) from someone else or from somewhere like http://www.puremobile.ca.
Then, you could buy the cheapest 7-Eleven phone just for the SIM card, selling the phone that comes with it. Or, buy a SIM card on its own from someone in this forum.
