If u look at bottom line – at SO you spend $100 +$36 (110-74 credit) – total $136 for Nokia 2760 plus 500 minutes of airtime.

At PC, you will spend $100 for Nokia 2760 plus 100 minutes of airtime.

So for extra $36, you get 400 minutes of airtime. Seems to me SO has best deal at this time?

but if you're not going to use $100 worth of airtime in a year (e.g., if it's only used as an emergency phone), then it's a different story too.

All 7-11 top-up cards last 365 days. The PC top-up cards except for the $100 card last for 180 days (the $100 card lasts for 365 days too). So if you're hardly going to use the phone, then get 7-11. If you don't think $25 will last you a whole year, then get PC. At least that's my opinion. But that's only if you're keeping this phone for the long term since you'd have to spend more up front for the 7-11.

Don't forget both of them charge 99c every month for 911 too.

if we add all for petro

$20 (100 minute if we buy)
$5 (startup)
$11(petropoint)

Total -$36

So the phone is worth 113-36=$77

With the same calculation for SO:

For $153.68 will you get same phone (if 2760) + 520 minutes for 1 year

so if I add $75 to buy more minutes I will get
about 75X5=375 min.

So total will be
375+125=500min

I think you guys are WAY off in regards to the PetroPoints.

You only get 10 PetroPoints for every dollar you spend.

If you REDEEM 179,000 PetroPoints you can get a Nokia 2760 or 2630.

If you BUY a Nokia 2760 or 2630 you will only get 1000 points ($100 x 10 points/$).

If you want a Nokia 2760 this month then you're probably better off going with SpeakOut, for most people at least.

If you're going to use a lot of airtime AND only buy time in increments of $20/$25, then you're probably better off going with PetroCanada.

And if you really want a Nokia 2630, then you're only choice is PetroCan.

Whats with 179,000 points? I think if you want phone on petro points then you should accumulate 179,000 points and get 2760 in exchange.
As Big Ang said.

Otherwise you spend $100 for phone and get 1000 points.
