The brand operates as a reseller of a virtual mobile network using Ztar Mobile, a mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE), on the Rogers Wireless network in Canada. It provides service in all provinces except Quebec and also does not operate in the Canadian territories. In the United States, it used Ztar Mobile on the AT&T Mobility network.

Services

SpeakOut offers pay-per-use plans and monthly plans, with monthly add-ons such as SMS, mobile browsing, and a block of minutes for domestic calls. In Canada, top-up and SIM card purchases are offered through an on-line website.[1]

In eastern Ontario, where 7-Eleven demolished its one Kingston store and sold its six Ottawa locations to Quickie Convenience Stores, existing Ottawa SpeakOut subscribers were permitted to move their prepaid balances to Quickie's Good2Go cellphone program.[2][3] That program has shorter expiry times for prepaid minutes.[4]

Caller ID, call waiting, conference calling, voicemail and account notifications are standard features. International roaming is not supported. Access to voicemail from the mobile handset incurs local or long distance rates; messages also are retrievable by calling the mobile number from another telephone.[5]
