7-11 Speak Out Works On Rogers Phones


Speakout.ca

Today I decided to get a 7-11 Speakout SIM card. Since I have an extra Rogers cellphone lying about, and know that Rogers phones work with the Speakout SIM without unlocking, I decided to register the card with Speakout.

This only took 20 minutes to do and check out the phone settings after registration.

The phone can receive text messages, but unfortunately I could not afford to get a voucher to top up minutes on the phone because the cheapest voucher is $25.

So that means I have my main Bell phone, my Virgin phone, my two Fido phones, and now a Speakout phone.

My two extra phones (Motorola W510 and LG Neon) are on Fido, which means they would need to be unlocked since a Rogers SIM wouldn't work in either phone.

Fido phones are locked because they use the Microcell network, which is owned by Rogers but were originally owned by Microcell when Fido first started out in

Bills, bills, bills!!!

Usually I don't answer my calls because I dunno which number might be Microcell drones harrassing me for being late on payments for my Fido account. Like the collections agents Telus use, Microcell collections agents are mean: if you answer their call, then you unwittingly agreed to cutting off your service even if you said: "I'm paying $40 next Monday, and all subsequent Mondays", but the bill is $3764.65!! Oh well, Fido as well as Koodo don't check credit bureau records for aliases. They'll assume Stephen is the son of {mymiddlename}.
