The Unofficial Speak Out Wireless Canada Consumer Page - Topic: Phone in Non-711 area? https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/technical-service-details/phone-in-non-711-area/ Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 Michael on Phone in Non-711 area? https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/technical-service-details/phone-in-non-711-area/#p441 Technical service details https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/technical-service-details/phone-in-non-711-area/#p441 I can confirm the previous posts. I live in Northern Ontario. The phone was purchased on my behalf (by a very nice person - you know who you are!!) in BC and it came with a local number.

Upon delivery, I ported the telephone number from my old Virgin Mobile prepaid account to my new 7-11 phone. No problems and no charges!

I have been very happy with the results.

Anyway, this is exactly what I did: I bought the phone in Alberta while on vacation. I live in Quebec, so I called and got the number changed. There is usually a 10$ fee, but I politely explained my situation and they said they would do it for free (maybe since there are no 7-Eleven in Quebec).

I had to go through two different people and tell them that I understood that I would not be able to buy more minutes in Quebec. I told them I have family in Alberta and they would buy the minutes for me.

As always, though, double check by calling 1-866-310-1023.

I live in NB, where there are no 7-11 stores. I am currently with Rogers. If I got my friend in Ontario to buy me a phone at a 7-11 and mail it to me, could I activate it here?

I have seen people who transfered an existing 7-11 activation to a city without 7-11 stores, but never one about an initial activation.
