BTW, the OneSuite referral bonus is (I believe) 5% (for each party) of first purchase.
Until Nov 15/10, it's 15%. I'm guessing (at least one of) the moderators can provide a referral code, but if not I'm happy to send one myself.
=aw
Yeah it's been 5% but yes new promo is 15%...send in your promo code, if its not allowed then mods just removed it. I believe subscribing to Onesuite $1/month incoming fax is considered as usage.
http://www.onesuite.com/faqs.asp#G11
Your OneSuite.com phone service will last six months from the date of purchase, the date of your most recent recharge, the date of your last SuiteTreat bonus redemption, the date of your last outbound usage (including calling card usage, VoIP outbound call usage, outbound fax or call forwarding usage), or the date of recent subscription fee charge (only applies to expiring accounts).

Thanks jeremy, it looks like the referral code is generated and an email is sent, each time I want to refer someone.
If anyone wants to sign up for OneSuite by Nov 15/10, let me know and I'll send a referral code. It gets both of us a 15% bonus on the first refill.

All incoming calls, regardless of where you are in Canada, are deducted at the local rate ($0.25/minute), since your Speakout phone did not initiate the call.
I know this was true. I find the 7-11 site ambiguous on this now and I wrote and asked. Here's what they told me, it's different and I wonder if it's changed or if they're wrong?
Thanks!

ME> Let's say I have a SO phone with a 613 (Ottawa) number. And let's say I'm in Montreal.
ME> As I understand it:
ME> — if I call a Montreal number, it's LD even if I'm in Montreal.
ME> — if I call an Ottawa number, it's local even if I'm in Montreal because my SO number is 613
ME> — if I answer the SO phone while I'm in Montreal, there's no LD fee (just 25c/min) because there's never LD for answering the phone.
ME>Are these right?
SO> You have the first two right but as you are not in your home area code area you would incur long distance charges when receiving a call in Montreal.
SO> Askspeakout

personally, that is my understanding for roaming but the FAQ here said it is not LD (basically country wide roaming) no matter where you receive the call.

I have been all over this country receiving calls, and every time a received call cost me $0.25/minute, the local rate. Whoever you talked to was wrong.

Okay thanks, I haven't used it in quite a while and it's such a relatively generous feature I was willing to believe they dropped it. Tentatively planning to switch from Rogers postpaid as my primary phone in about a month and want to get it right.

Obviously if' it's an outgoing call, then the rates would be different, but of course since incoming calls are not initiated by the SpeakOut phone, so they cost $0.25/minute.

I know, and I believe you (and I believed you years ago , but the same statement is true of my Rogers postpaid and they charge me 30c/min to answer outside my local area. Even though it didn't initiate the call. They also charge to receive texts, which bugs me even more than charging 20c to send them!
Not disagreeing, just saying the fact I didn't initiate the call doesn't stop the carrier for charging LD.

it really is a policy issue rather than a technical issue. I would just take what iamdrumming said for now until it is proven otherwise.
Luckily, I seldom use voice call anyway and for those with lots of voice call need, may be brianca's scheme of using wind mobile unlimited incoming for 10/month is better
