LF: Boxing deals on prepaid cell phone

[mikesxf]

thinking of buying a cell phone on Boxing day

i am a casual cell phone user, just for emergency, so prepaid seems way to go.

any good deal/suggestion would be great.

In the BellWOrld Flyer, there's a solomobile section

It sais If prepaid id your preference, then Score a phone for $9.
But in the fine print tehres something about 70$ phone credit. I don't really understand this

Virgin is pretty good for casual user with 4 month expiry on airtime. Can get the 8910 camera phone for $99.00 at BB or FS. Other phones are even cheaper, like the hot box for $69 (or $59 at SDM). Make sure you find someone to give you a referral bonus if you buy one. An even better deal if you're not going to use your phone at all except in emergencies is probably the 7-eleven prepaid (search for the thread) which has a one-year expiry on air time. Don't think there are any boxing day/week deals for that though.
