Yes, this deserves a separate FAQ entry (and a "Sticky" in the phone exchange subforum.)

As it is, the closest FAQ entry, 28, is misleading. Has anyone been charged $10 to change their phone number to a different (non-overlapping) area code?

Also, I’m going to leave the possible $10 phone number change up because the official brochure mentions it. Therefore, even if many people have gotten it done for free, the charge can still be considered 7-Eleven’s official policy.

I suspect that the $10 is intended to discourage people from changing phone numbers frivolously, e.g. until they get a "good" number. It would be silly for SO to charge it to people who have moved (or in the case of Phone Exchange who bought a SIM from someone in a different area code) because that would just give those people an excuse to look for another prepaid plan. But what do I know?

The revised FAQ looks good. I agree that you should quote the 7-11 brochure as the authoritative source but point out that the charge is discretionary and generally isn't applied.

Anybody looking for a SIM card, the current area code DOES NOT matter.
You just call SO customer service and tell them what area code you want.

Hey I am looking for an sim card in Toronto, Canada. How much do you want for it..> reply me one mehulvpatel@hotmail.com

Peter, thanks for clarifying this.
Indeed, I DO NOT have any SO Sims for sale.

I called Customer Service and they stated that there is only the $10 fee if you want to change your number to another local number; if you change your number to a different area code there is no charge.

Shahid, read it again. Manny is NOT selling any sim cards.
