Does anyone know if there is a similar forum for 7-11 Speakout Wireless in the US? I joined the service here in Canada this fall and would love to bring my trusty little 1208 with me when I go home to the US for the holidays, but know that I need a US SIM card. I don't want to buy the whole package down there and would like to just get a SIM card. Any ideas on how to do so? Thanks for your help.

If you need a US prepaid sim, they are readily available on eBay (and cheap). That's where I got a couple of them, when I was comparing US prepaid companies. Lots of them will come with a credit as well.
I heard some are available in the retail setting in the US as well, but I haven't seen them myself.
As for a similar forum for Speak Out in the USA, information is very limited. You can try the forum here:

Or this forum:

Unfortunately Speak Out in the USA does not have a proper site like Speak Out in Canada does.
So, that would be my suggestion. Check the coverage where you are going, and get the sim card for the company that provides the best coverage down there, be it T-Mobile, A T & T GoPhone etc.

I was just going through the posts, and this guy is selling a SpeakOut USA sim card:

You can get a T-mobile sim card for approx $6.95 from one of their stores or places like walmart, target, best buy etc.
I am going to use this from best buy, because I don't need a long expiration time...coverage is AT&T
http://shrunklink.com/bkhp for the card
and
http://shrunklink.com/bjnc for the minutes
works out to approx 6.5 cents a minute for the minutes, slightly higher figuring in the sim card as well. Free long distance back to Canada

Thank you for all your helpful suggestions. I'll pick up something when I get home to the US. Unfortunately, I didn't think of it early enough to do anything by mail. I'll be prepared for next time, though.

You are welcome. Glad we could help. I would suggest checking the coverage maps of your destination. For some T-Mobile might provide better coverage, and for others A T & T Wireless provides better coverage. For myself, A T & T has always been better in my travels around the USA.
