I have an unlocked smart phone with an at&t sim – not usable in Canada. I discover there are no 7-elevens in eastern Ontario so speakout is not available. :cry: I also have a Rogers sim that has never been activated.

I have very low volume mobile phone needs and can live with wifi until data plans get cheaper. A yearly pay-as-you-go would be ok. 30 day expiry is not ok.
Any advice would be welcome.

I believe good2GO mobile is the same service as SpeakOut under the hood (ztar mobile). The rates look the same as well:

You should be able to find them at Quickie convenience stores in eastern Ontario:

What is wrong with rogers? I think you are pretty much stuck paying $100 for a year's service. These are your options, as I see them

Petro Canada. $100 for a year service. $59 for cheapest phone and sim 25 cents a minute. $1.25 monthly system access fee. Available all over Canada

Good2go. $100 for a year service. $59 for cheapest phone and sim 25 cents a minute. $0.99 monthly system access fee. Available in eastern Canada and the maritimes.

Speak out, $25 for a year service. $59 for cheapest phone and sim 25 cents a minute. $1.25 monthly system access fee. Available only in areas with a 7-11 store.

Rogers. $100 for a year service. As low as $7 for the sim Choices galore http://www.rogers.com/web/cont…..ucts/plans all over Canada.

The only plan at Rogers was "Anytime" with .40/min and min. topup $10. No mention of yearly cost. No info about how it works. I'm not even sure if the Rogers sim will work in my phone (assume it will if at&t does)

We also have a Bell prepaid phone – topup $100 before annual expiry date retains credit. It has roaming and can be used in the USA.

I can buy a SO sim as well as $100 credit from people in the phone forum. Why doesn't SO offer online purchase of credit? Then once you have the sim it wouldn't matter there are no stores.
