I see no mention of it on the Nokia.ca webpage and all I basically see is batteries if I google it. There is the 5610 on the US website but that seems out of the SO/PCM target market.

Also, on the Speak Out website, it doesn't list the promo anymore at all.

Which is great since in hamilton they are all out of the free phones and they are hoping to get some in soon

This is just a GUESS on my part, so don't blame me if Speakout decides to do something else.

Regarding the rate change, my guess is that Speakout came out with the rate change because they were not making any money off of users that use it very infrequently. The Big 3 don't have that problem. If you're a prepaid client with one of them, then every so often your time will expire before you can refill it, and you'll lose a few bucks here and there

Personally, I think it's very short-sighted. Having the new rates (and the new 'Speakout Math') confuses many. Also back when people bought small $ cards more frequently, that increased visits to 7-11, which probably increased impulse sales of candy and pop as well (at least a little).

Last year I just missed the Aug promotion so got mine in November.

re: buying 2x $50 credit - that premise USED to be a good one if you are a minimal phone user (so that you could use one and sell the other to your boyfriend/girlfriend, family member, etc.) but now that the rate change issue has entered into the equation it no longer makes much sense. I think that's the whole reason Speakout brought in that change!

I called around, one 7-eleven said that he will do it, as long as he is there. So I will get upgrade to my 1600 on Tuesday.

It's about time my credits got expire. So I am thinking recharge it. Now we have the promotion again. After read some post I decide to try get a 5200 with purchase of 2 $100 vouche - each get $100 airtime, but get a free 5200.
I tried several Burnaby/Vancouver store but no luck some days before. I am little disappointed for that. But yesterday when I go to GE place, I saw a 7-11 just across the street (down the Cambie st), so I enter in ask for free phone, and the lady said they run out free phones (1208 and 1600) but only left a 5200. Ah...what? so I carefully ask if I purchase 2 $100 airtime card, can I just use the discount to get a 5200. The lady said "yes, you can!". Oh well, just what I want so I paid immediately to get the 5200. Now I am happy!
🙂

Tips: never give up. You'll get something you want by accidently entering a corner store but not by deliberately hunting them out.

What can I say, there is also only one in Brampton but I got a phone there recently.

Luckily, the lady from 7-11 across the street gave me the phone numbers of the other 2 stores close to me and I got the last cell from one of them. The other did not have any phones at all. The manager said they got a lot of phones Thursday evening but they were sold very fast, some people were buying 3-4 phones ... I got that last one Friday morning at 7:30 🙂
