Got a 1600 on King St. in Cambridge Friday afternoon. Got home and changed the phone number right away to my area... no charge. Went to make my first call only to find that my account was empty. I didn't want to activate my $100 yet. My initial start up (was told by dealer it was $10) was only $5. I called customer service and they put it back on my account. Very good CS reps. I only wanted a basic phone and this one seems to have all I need so far and a very good loudspeaker.

The standard starting credit on a SpeakOut phone is only $5 so yes, the CS folks were very good if they gave you an extra $5! 😉

Just came back from the Kingsway and Royal Oak location in Burnaby and they are out of the 2760s. Aparently they had them this morning though.

I went to 7-eleven on Gladson and Bell. They have them. But the promo was not in the system yet. The cashier knew about it. I also went to Rideau and Angust, they also had it. The cashier did seem that they didn't want to sell nokia 2710 becuase they are afraid to say you have to pay $50 more.

It might require that mp3 ringtones are of a specific bitrate (or whatever it's called).
Also, please try to keep all phone questions to the Phone features forum.

7-11, Vaughan (GTA), Rutherford und Weston. Got 4 x $25 and Nokia 1600. Number is 647 (doesn't matter since I'm going to transfer my old Fido one).
Seems, they have a lot of them in stock.
1600 is not locked - at least it works with other SIMs (in Rogers network).
BTW, does anybody need new Nokia 1600?
Or $25 refills for $15 apiece? ;))
Like to buy your 1600 and 25$ refill. Let me know if u still have it. 4162885099 daytime.
Thx.

Anyone found any of the 2760s in Ottawa. I checked out the Bank St. location and they didn't seem to have any phones today.
7:32 am
how about the 1600, is it available around NW, Calgary?
I went to Citadel area and no phone available but they have the promo sign. Went back after 2 days still not available.
Will try to call other stores.

I agree with you. I had a search on this new phone around Calgary NW area (four locations), but couldn't find one. I am gonna check this phone on next week.

I went to 5 7-11 stores in South Calgary this morning, and no one had any 2760 phones. my visit prompted them to order, and it will take a week to arrive
very poor planning, when they all have the advertising in store promoting the new deals.
I went to Midnapore, Queensland, Shawnessy, Somerset, Bridlewood. I gave up after this.
If anyone knows of 7-11 stores in Calgary who has the phones please post!!

Good afternoon,
I just called the 7-Eleven store on 490 Rideau Street, and they have plenty of Nokia 1600"s in stock as well as a few 2760 (the new flip phone) as of November 19 at Noon. 🙂

The Nokia 2760 made it to Toronto area stores this afternoon. Just picked up my silver and black version at 3:00 this afternoon. Looks like a very nice little phone (it is an upgrade to the current plan and costs $50 more). I got mine at the Rutherford Rd. 7-Eleven in Vaughan. I will post back how the reception, voice quality, etc...is when I get a chance to use it.

Just got my number ported, wooo hooo. One thing to watch for, the voicemail passcode on the sticker stuck to the nokia guide AND in the text message they send after porting your number may NOT be valid anymore. In my case, when they ported my number over, they also set the voicemail passcode to the same one I used with my other phone provider.... without telling me. I used up some time trying to set it up with the default passcode and finally called them to find out what is going on. She apologized for not letting me know (at least she didn't give me the run around like some of the larger co's). Ah well, not everything can go smoothly. Makes life interesting.
Other than that, kind of sounds like you're talking inside a tin can. Will have to test it out further.
I'll be using this Nokia 2760 as my main phone, so we'll see how long the minutes last with the timer starting as soon as you press Send.

Hello
I am thinking of eventually switching to Speakout, because I love the feature that any dollar amount you buy lasts a year. I only use my phone for emergencies, and only use it for about 5-10 minutes a month.
If I were to buy a phone now with the promotion going on (Preferably the Nokia 1600), can I just hang on to it, and use it when I am ready to switch. Or if I buy it now, do I have to activate the phone within a specified time frame?
Thanks!!
