"Mobilicity's unlimited offerings support our overall goal of providing our customers with convenience and quality, and it enhances our position as the contract-free wireless destination in the convenience store industry."
The phones which will be available at 7-Eleven will be full price handsets without contracts with plans starting at $25 per month.
