$25 bonus now available on $100 top up until Dec 31/13 | 7-Eleven Rates and Plans | Consumer forum

yes. just find one store that has it.

the promo is like this:

if you buy the phone and a 100 voucher, the phone is free. so just find a store that carries it(sometimes it is hard).

you can use the voucher for whatever account you want for the 25 bonus(which is added at the time of refill activation, not when you buy it)

It depends what you want to achieve? I don't live in Ontario but I'm guessing 905 is a greater Toronto area code? Why do want a 416/647 number? Is it for business so it looks like you are "based in downtown Toronto"? Or do you have friends in 416/647 so they can have a local number to cal you?

Your plan will maximize the $100 offer. The $25 bonus topup may persist after Dec 31 (I don't know). I'd buy the voucher and activate relatively soon so you don't risk losing the slip of paper and out of 365 days, whether you activate now or Dec 31, over the course of a year it's not that big a deal. At the end of a year, if you still have lots of money left on the account, you can just do a $25 topup and extend the balance another year.So in effect for $125 you get 2 years low-use service (your nickname is 905 emergency, so your phone is just for emergencies?) or $62.5/year or roughly $5/month to have a phone for emergencies. Every year you extend an outstanding balance with a $25 topup just brings your average monthly cost down.

Just got mine online. The $100 + 25 will probably last me a year.

I was sorry to see the unlimited data for $10 a month go, but it really wasn't much use to me anyway. The phone is too small for internet browsing, and the data was very slow. I could complain but really, I am so very happy I have this alternative to dealing with regular cell companies where the $50 a month plan gradually morphs into $80 a month because you have to pay for caller ID, add a text plan, and get dinged for long distance when someone calls you when away from home - and the penalty for going over your data allotment is to worry about all the time.

Hopefully free wifi coverage will grow to the point where I will rarely wish for cellular data. I see in New Zealand the main phoneco is converting all their pay phone booths into wifi hotspots, which service will be reasonably priced.
