Hi All, I live in Australia (Sydney), and will spend about 6 weeks in Vancouver from late January. This offer seems to suite my needs, is there anyway to buy from 7-11 store in Vancouver West End area, say using lay-by, no need to ship the phone here and then pick it up when I arrive around Jan 24. any tips appreciated.

email me at pinhead1140@hotmail.com. I may be able to help.

Somebody asked that a couple of weeks ago and I believe the answer was that you have to apply the voucher now (before the 31st) to get that $25 bonus.

That is correct. You can apply the voucher within 90 days, but if you want the bonus it must be applied before tomorrow night. Also, the bonus airtime promotion will appear from time to time, it just won't be as permanent as before.

Understood; thanks.

Just bought the $100 voucher, on the voucher it says "must be applied within 90 days of purchase"; if I apply the voucher around end of February (within 90 days), will I still receive the $25 bonus airtime? Or is that : in order to get the $25 bonus air time, the $100 voucher has to be applied by Dec 31, 2009?

Thanks.

Then I came across Petro-Canada, and then this site. What a breath of fresh air! I paid $112 for the voucher after tax, now I have a nice little free phone with RADIO! (Vancouver radio kicks ass) and some 140bux worth of airtime to burn for the next year. This rocks. Thank you all. I am spreading the word now to my friends.

Canadians need to be liberated from wireless carrier monopoly.

change country to Canada. The click on BC Province and click on Next.

You should see the locations

Noticed on some phone descriptions (except the one I like) there is 20 minutes startup time (does that work out to be the $5).

Yes, exactly. 20 minutes @ $0.25 = $5.00.

I just got the 1661.
-free phone
-$5 phone credit
-$25 promo credit
-Paid for $100
-Used $10 promo ref credit.

$140 worth of airtime and free phone whoop!:lol:

I understand the $25, $10 credit but not sure what the $5 credit is? Noticed on some phone descriptions (except the one I like) there is 20 minutes startup time (does that work out to be the $5). I'm patiently waiting for the store to receive the 2720.

A few pages back, the forum moderator iandrumming gave this answer:

Once you enter the $100 airtime voucher code into your phone, the $25 bonus is automatically applied. So when you punch in the code, you will see that your account will be credited with $125. There is no way to separate the bonus $25 from the $100.

I have visited several 711 stores in mississauga with the hope of getting the promotional deal "Buy a $100 voucher, get a phone for free". Was a waste of my time since none of the store operators are aware of any such promotion.! The store operators should be made aware of this promotion first before it isadvertised to the public!

one of the 7-11 near me, has a sign right across the top of the store saying "Speakout buy 100
dollars worth of airtime and get a free phone"

I bought the speakout phone with 100 $ card 20 days ago, can I get the refund of the phone.

If you buy $100 time you get phone for free. So what is this "Refund of the phone" Means?
You think if you return phone then you will get $59 refund from the store? Explain
If that is the case then its cheapness at best.

I was stuck in traffic near Don Mills/Overlea for long time. Some curb repairs
There I saw a huge banner at the entrance of 7-11 store about Free Phone Promo.
So yes Stores are aware of this promo.

Which store did you visit? I bought the $100 airtime and the 2760 at Battleford and Erinmills Pkwy on the first day of the promotion. The store operator was very well aware of the promo.

Anyone else have this problem?

I went into a 7/11 in a not-so-great area of town last night. I asked to see the 1661. He handed it to me, I went to open the box and he grabbed it back and said I couldn't do that. I asked why. He said that people steal things out of the boxes (he was 30-ish, not a kid. I'm a grey-haired, middle aged, OK-dressed woman). So I then asked if he could open it so I could at least make sure the phone was inside. He said he couldn't (no one else in the store).

So I left. I'll find another store. But this is a bit over-the-top, no?

If I am store owner I would do the same. I don't like people opening packages and not buying. This is not touch, feel the goods, see the colours etc and then don't buy anything item.

Buy it or dont. Buy it open the package there and check and you have 15 days to complain.
