Re 7-11 SpeakOut, some recent changes:

1. Outgoing SMS is 10¢. There doesn`t seem to be a surcharge for foreign SMS, but I haven`t confirmed it.

2. "you always pay incoming SMS too at the same rate as outgoing ones" Incoming SMS is now free.

3. "When you refill with CA$ 75 or 100 you get lower per minute rates at CA$ 0.20/min - € 0.13/min." This offer ends 31Dec09.

4. Data (not 3G!) is now available at $10/mon, ($7 until 31Jan10.)

5. "On the first day of each month, a CA$ 0.99 fee will be deducted..." Actually this happens on the anniversary of when the SIM was first used, e.g. if you started in 12Feb06 then the 911 fee is deducted on the 12th of each month.

Also, local calls on Petro-Canada are 25¢/min plus 20¢/min extra for LD.

Also, it`s not yet clear if the new entrants, DAVE and Wind, will offer prepaid service, at least initially. They seem to want to target mid and high-end users, e.g. those with BlackBerrys and iPhones with data plans. Neither has yet made any official announcements about their rates.

Thanks for doing a fine job with the thankless task of keeping all these minute (sorry for the pun) details up to date.
