I went to as chatr kiosk, told them I want a SIM card, they told me what the plans were ,I went for something like a 30 per month plan, confirmed I can top up with cash-paid vouchers.
Edit: I also bought a new phone. End Edit.
Asked my name, I gave a semi-fake name, asked my address, I said I am a privacy nut, I don't like to give out my address, he said np we'll just put the address of the shopping center.
Gave an email.
I said I am with speakout, I just use it for an emergency where Rogers has coverage but Telus does not. I said that speakout is ending, he seemed to know that, I said I was thinking of porting old number over, he said just bring it in and be sure it is working.
Went home, saved contacts to a .vcf file, then factory re-set it.
Went back 2 weeks later, said I want to port it over, gave him my old phone, he took the old phone, went into something on it, asked the old number, I confirmed what it is, which he confirmed by looking at the phone, he said OK in probably around 30 mins you will see all the bars on your old phone disaappear, when that happens it means the porting over process is starting, it happenned, in an hour I confirmed that the number was on my new phone, re-installed the .vcf file, that's it.
Now I can go to chatr, pay cash for a , lets say $200 top up, apply it to the phone and I am done. No credit card, no id, all I need is to use cash.
You'd better get going, I believe Friday is the last day for speakout
