Even if there are no 7-11s in Picton, you could still buy airtime coupons at any 7-11 (Belleville? Kingston?) and use those. You could also get a friend to buy them for you and send you the code you need to apply the airtime credit, then reimburse them for the cost. If you are a light user then you'd only need to do this once a year.

Andrew,

Don't forget that you have to go to a 7-11 every so often to buy airtime for it - you can't buy airtime online or anywhere other than a 7-11.

You might want to consider PetroCanada Mobility. It's run by the same company as 7-11 Speakout and the rates and expiry are almost the same. Although, PetroCan has never had the very popular "Buy $100 of airtime - Get $75 off a handset" promotion that Speakout occasionally has.

When you buy a phone from a 7-eleven it has a number already on it from whatever area you bought it in. If you buy one but live in a place with no 7-elevens all you do is call customer service and they will change it to any area code you want.

These cell phone plans are new to me... when do you select the phone number? Also can you pick any area to get a number from? Like Picton, Ontario for example even though we have no 7-eleven in the area?

Thanks!
Andrew
