SaskTel releases the basic Samsung C414

By on July 12, 2011 at 7:29am in Mobile News, SaskTel News


Ready Saskatchewan, wait for it… here’s the device you’ve all been pining for. The Samsung C414 has officially been released by SaskTel! This flip phone comes straight from the 90′s and has basically made its presence at all Canadian carriers (WIND, Bell, Mobilicity, Videotron, Rogers, TELUS and soon Virgin). Ironically, the C414 is as basic as it gets these days and will probably sell incredibly well. Not everyone needs the latest/greatest device and some people actually just want to make phone calls and send a few texts. This is a perfect and cheap (affordable) way to do so. SaskTel is selling this for $149.99 outright and ranges to $39.99 on a 3-year term.

    • Perfect for Opera Mini at the blazing fast “4G” speeds of 3.6 Mbps on the massive 2.2-inch screen!

      (Note: 3 Mbps is considered “Rogers Lite Internet”.)

  2. @Zico, LOLL!

    Seems too pricy, compared to other carriers.

  3. Wow, $40 on a 3-year? This should be free on a 2-year. Maybe even a 1-year… I don’t see many of these selling.

    • It is $49.99 on a two-year with TELUS, the same price as an LG Madison on prepaid. The latter, i can say, is a decent phone for the price. There are even occasional sales on it, and it comes with a $20 credit!

      Outright, the Samsung costs $149.99 with TELUS or $110 with WIND or Mobilicity. Seems like a little much for a simple flip feature phone. All of these types of phones should cost under $100 outright!

      Please, people, contracts for feature phones are so not worth it! :(

  5. Hey Mobile Syrup, you forgot to add Rogers. $19.99 on a three-year, $135 outright. Multi-carrier, almost like the Nexus S.

    WARNING: Huge contracts for feature phones are so not worth it! :/

  9. If this is their version of the Rugby it will most definately sell like crazy with businesses.
    Ruggedized basic phone = big win for industrial businesses

  10. This is a phone that should be sold at $49.99 outright! All carriers like it because the profit margin is extremely high!

  12. You have to be brain dead to not be able to afford this phone out right and sign a potentially $400 cancellation fee, 3 yr contract.
