Nice find, time to get a spare handset for travelling!

[lor74]

my wife uses FIDO "pay as you go"...and has a real crappy phone. Can her number be transfered to any of these units while still being "pay as you go"?

thanks

[Jason-Wein]

do any of these phones work with 7-11 Speakout (i.e. Rogers network unlocked)?

Should be possible, yes.

[V A N Q U I S H]

Sweet got the Moto L2, and some Sony Ericsson. Thanks OP.

[Rekognize]

Thanks op, bought the L2

It's just as simple as taking her sim card from her current phone and putting it into the new one. Since both phones are with Fido there's no need to transfer anything other than the physical sim card.

[GodBlessU]

is there free shipping code or something

[Shake_you_Down]

I missed out on the Rogers phones,from a previous post,will this work with my

Rogers simm card?

[DIODIO]

Thanks OP, too bad it's for Fido sim card only... I guess if I want to get one of this I might need to get it hacked!

[flashmeister]

Free shipping for in store pick up...
(good only if you have a location near you)

[drey]

some reason i thought fido and roger phones are interchangeable since they use the same network. am i wrong?

[bubble.tea]

oh LOL...now I know why I didn't get the Z710i.

Lucky peeps.,

[jayster_4_69]

Thanks OP! bought the Sony Ericsson W300

[YLSF]

some reason i thought fido and roger phones are interchangeable since they use the same network. am i wrong?

Not 100% true. I know people with Roger's phones who had to unlock them for Fido. I think it depends on the phone.

[goflamesgo]

How much were the 6670, Z710i or the W300?

Most phones are now OOS. RFD Effect :twisted:

[dinesh_zee]

Haven't you heard that they only can afford to hire kids out of high school? That's what Zellers/FS/BB/Stooples... etc etc do, so why not TSCC! :cheesygri

[ecsw]

no, the subsidiary code is different. u need them unlock them.

[Triad]

I was wondering if this phone would be good to get for a trip I will be taking? So just get the phone, get the sim card, buy pas as you go minutes?

Also if I buy the mins for it, could I use it in the new place and it would still be the same price as any other place?

[Elusive]

Does anyone hav a list of the phones available and their TS item code/number?

So far I have seen these phones on the web site but do not see the W300, etc.:

Moto V235
SE Z710i
LG 2000
Moto C261
Moto PEBL
Moto PEBL Pink

[bubble.tea]

[bubble.tea]

I wonder how 'demo'd' these are though :lol:?

I'm sure there'll be some wicked lucky people hehe.

is as simple as transferring the SIM card from your old phone to the new one

[Inno]

Do these phones come with a Fido card in the box, like normal Fido phones?

[jayster_4_69]

the Sony W300 was $59.99

[Inno]

Demo units!!!!

[imp]

haha this reminds me of the rogers paygo promotion...they are having one for fido too?

[psyko514]

They're still run as two separate providers. To use a Rogers phone on Fido or vice-versa, the phone must be unlocked.

[western]

haha this reminds me of the rogers paygo promotion...they are having one for fido too?

the source was bought by Bell, so ofcourse they are getting rid of all fido/rogers phones.

[imp]

yes that's what I was thinking

[trini_2_d_bone]

They're offering Rogers/Fido until Jan 2010.

[Triad]

I didin't know this, so I did some digging... Possible boycott? Bell :arrowd:

[HowEver]

Demo units!!!!

That's what held me back from this deal.

[Seifer]

That's what held me back from this deal.

Beside...still worth trying it. If the product isn't in good condition, I refund it !

[albertanewbie]

That's what held me back from this deal.


Plus the fact that they come with original manufacturer's warranty (most are 1 year).

No, They are NIB except if some one could explain how we could have demo units on an online webstore. Fido phones are not sold in stores!!

The Source ships a large amount of its clearance products back to the Barrie warehouse to be sold online. These may have been demo units back in 06/07, repacked and shipped back to be sold again. If you look at the previous Source threads, we can see that there are some very nice Source demos, and some horrible Source demos.

True. They did this with the Panasonic Lumix L7 ultrazoom cameras a while ago. Blew them out at $99. I bought a few and the packaging had all been opened but the cameras were all in new condition with all orginal contents. There was a special 90-day "refurbished" warranty from the manufacturer though.

Do these cell phones ship with the original unused SIM cards? If so, their value should be considered, i.e. about $15 on the resale market.

[gyozaman]

Got my Purolator tracking number today. Hopefully they will come with SIM cards and the phones will be in good condition.

[happen.stance]

I tried making a purchase as soon as I received their email and every single phone I was considering was OOS! I just wanted a cheap one for travel or in case my phone decided to die... Oh well. Good for those that were able to make a purchase. :P

[paaji]

Do you guys know where to get these phones unlocked at a good price?
Thanks

By the way, I picked up mine today, still in a package brand new.

[shipill]

Demo units!!!!

I know , old POS !!

[mahjongmaniac]

They're offering Rogers/Fido until Jan 2010.

nice... so i guess we can assume more clearances to come for Rogers/Fido phones for the next few mths...

yep... it becomes pretty obvious when you see online demo clearance items appear but when you check their instore product locator (http://www.thesource.ca/estore/locator.aspx) online via SKU (catalog #), it'll say OOS for every single TS store in Canada

[V A N Q U I S H]

Just received both phones, packaging is open, but cosmetically they are both in mint condition. One of the two was probably never put on demo display ever. Thanks again OP!

Which 2 phones you got ?

[V A N Q U I S H]

Which 2 phones you got ?

Moto L2 - this one was used as a demo for sure as the package contents were bare except: batt., sim, charger, manuals.

SE K510a - looks BNIB, just the packaging was opened.

were SIMs included?

[V A N Q U I S H]

Yup, both had SIMs included in the packaging, for the L2, the SIM was out of the plastic card and stuck in between some cardboard in the box.

[WILDSTYL]

WOW This turned out to be a smoking deal for me. I grabbed an L2 and V360 both boxes where factory sealed and in new condition. I thought possibly they were repacked, but after opening both boxes these phones where definitely NEW! All contents were packaged separately, and included the FIDO SIM cards :-D
