Prepaid cellphones

[Colsgirl]

Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on a prepaid cellphone. I want something like a Virgin or Rogers where I can buy a year of pre-paid credit for $100 and then a phone for about $60.

I am interested in any sales at the moment and also where I can collect points when I buy it.

TIA

7-11 has the best deal imo

Free phone with purchase of $100 airtime minutes which dont expire for 365 days. I think they also give you a $25 bonus for purchasing the $100 minutes.

Zellers sells both the Virgin and Rogers. I've used both and prefer Virgin. You get a live person to talk to when needed -- Rogers you had to push multiple buttons and talk to a prerecorded voice (very frustrating).

Look into the Petro Canada offer as well.. Information is on their web site .You can use points to purchase a phone, and minutes I believe.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I went out and bought one.

I got the Speak Out 7-eleven (it uses a major phone company as a carrier). I bought:

$100 talk time cost $100+taxes
$90 phone less $74 = $16+taxes (they have an offer on where you get the cheapest phone for free or a better phone they give you $74 off when you buy $100 top-up card)

This cost me $129.92 including taxes

The phone comes with $30 credit when you activate it. So I now have $130 of credit available and a brand new phone that takes pictures.

The best bargain is that next year when I need to top-up, I can get $25 credit and it is valid for a year (I only use my phone for emergencies). So the operating costs of my phone will go down to $25 year or $2.08 month!

We have the PC one -- at Christmas time they ussually have the deal with the car charger and regular charger etc and $10.00 coupon for minutes and a 10.00 for Loblaws....its 25.00 for 120 minutes that last two months and can carry over if you don't use all

I've looked around too, and find that 7-11 has the better deal. My friend bought from PC before, the phone was about $75, and he bought an additional $30 airtime, so it wasn't that good of a deal as 7-11

I just searched google for Tracfones in Canada and couldn't find anything, any suggestions?

Wal mart or Best Buys has Koodoo cell phones free when you sign up with different plans from $25 a month.

Isn't this an American product for use in the US only?

I have to say I love the 7-11 one I got and it takes great pictures too.
