SaskTel prepares for 3G+ network, attempts to ditch old CDMA devices with $0 Smartphone Sale

By on August 13, 2010 at 11:45am in Mobile News, SaskTel News

SaskTel is apparently launching their new 3G+ network on Monday and in an attempt to get rid of old stock they’ve thrown a promo together. It’s called “Once Upon a Smart Choice” and don’t get me wrong, it’s a smart choice if you’re looking for old outdated phones that use an old technology. The deals are OK but the best one by far is the BlackBerry Storm for $0.00 on a 3-year contract (this is the best deal).

Just remember that you can expect these devices to arrive when the new network launches: Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, BlackBerry Bold 9700, BlackBerry Pearl 9100, Nokia 7230, Samsung Gravity 3, Samsung Gravity Touch and the Nokia 6350.

You can check out the deal here at SaskTel

  2. Reccomending the Storm 1 on a soon-to-be-defunct network is a very bad reccomendation. Buy a Storm 2 for $200 with a three-year contract (it’s a drop in the bucket over the length of your contract) or better yet, wait four days for the new network to light up.

    DON’T BUY THESE OLD PHONES.

  3. Even a Storm 2 = pure manure. Don’t touch any of those phones ! If Sasktell would sell them for that price but for a 1 year contract, then yes, get one.

  4. I think the headline is WRONG. Look at the no contract prices, they’re DISGUSTING… I want to puke in a bag and send it SaskTel. Clearly they’re trying to scrounge up any last minute customers they can, to use their soon to be old network, apposed to trying to “ditch old CDMA devices.”

  5. Chris is right, compared to other Canadian carriers Sasktel’s no contract prices are ridiculous!

  7. Considering the 3G EVDO network will be up for at least the next 3 years, this isn’t a bad deal. Especially if you are in an area that won’t see HSPA+ until the end of 2011.
