As speculated in a few threads, the next promotion will be a free Nokia 1600 (with SIM card) with the purchase of $100 airtime.

Note that this has not yet been confirmed by anybody at 7-Eleven.

The May 2008 deal is 50 free airtime minutes (basically, $10) when purchasing $50 of air time.

Peter, I understand that nothing is confirmed. But I sure hope "Next promotion rumoured to start May 31, 2008 -- forum thread here" is a typo for "Next promotion rumoured to start May 1, 2008 -- forum thread here"

So is it at the beginning of May, or at the end of May? I want to buy a new SO phone, but can wait a couple of weeks, but not 6 weeks!

Usually, does it need to rush into the store and buy one as soon as possible when the promotion comes out?

Or it will be all available during the week?

I don't know about such things in Toronto...

We should ask BYLO .He has usually good news.
7-11 shopkeepers are saying that there is promotion sale every year in May with free phone after 100$ airtime purchase..
Shopkeeper was saying that 7-11 is out of their Nokia-1600 stock,so they will introduce some new features phone set.

Can anyone confirm that 7-11 is out of Nokia 1600s?

If so, they will probably replace it with the less expensive Nokia 1208 that Ztar Mobile has given PetroCanada Mobility. Virtually identical to the 1600, but PetroCan sells it for $50.

So am I understanding that this new promotion is coming out sometime in May, possibly not until the 14th?

Here is the email I got from 7-eleven

Thank you for contacting 7-Eleven in Canada. I assume you are referring to our Speakout cellular phones and services. In May we will not be providing a discount on existing phone but offering our Speakout customers 50 free minutes with the purchase of $50.00 of airtime. However we do have some great regular pricing on our phones:

Speakout Nokia 1600 @ $74.00
Speakout Nokia 2610 @ $100.00
Speakout Nokia 2760 flip @ $125.00
Speakout Nokia 6061 flip @ $125.00

and coming in late April our brand new Speakout Nokia 5200 slider music and camera phone @ $149.00 which will come with 1G memory, free stereo ear buds and $25 free airtime (see attached)

all our Speakout phones come pre-charged and activated with $10.00 airtime included. Our rates are still 20 cents per minute anytime with 365 day expiry and also 5 cents for text messaging.

Oh, dear. What was the source of the original "rumour" that it would be happening in May? Can anyone return to that source for an update?

It is not humor.I got true reply from 7-11 administration.Here is a copy.
"" our next promotion is May "Purchase $50.00 Speak Out airtime receive up to 50 minute FREE. We do not have our plans finalized for any handset promotions.
You are correct we are launching the Nokia 5200 slider phone with MP3 Player this month. Due to shipping delays you may not see this handset in a 7-Eleve near you until the end of the month.""
It really disappointed every one.no more free phones.
Nokia-5200 have a lot of bad features.I have one and i discarded it last year.

WOW !!!!
so basically the promo is geared towards existing SO users. buying $50.00 will give you $100.00 airtime ! NICE !
plus as a bonus for that $100 airtime you only need to pay for the $50 in taxes.
