Those are all going to be postpaid plans. Whether you think the Big 3's plans are good or not, the prepaid plans are almost always much, much worse.

Pretty weak offerings. The big 3 must have really been POed by Jean-Pierre Blais and this is their parting shot. Right now the best deal is still the Zoomer Mobile $40.50 for 2 gig LTE data. Anyone needing a plan right now should check this offer before it expires at the end of July.

Hey there, can you send me more details about the back to school deals

@ahsanr197 they're just usually promos that happen in late july/early august. Sometimes they aren't that special. From what I've seen the smaller 3 (Koodo and Virgin right now) are all offering $40 a month, for 1GB of data, unlimited texts and 500 canada wide minutes and prices go up from there. Also they are offering $10 off the plans for 6 months (I think its for BYOP plans). if you're in a province with a bit more compeition (Quebec for example) the deals will be better there

Given the current PM plans, these deals are better. However if you are on a good grandfathered plan here (the fall promo/Freedom promo, ect) Then you should just stay here if you are a member here

I would not really call those "Promo" plans, they are really nothing fancy, and just expensive plans with almost nothing to give. They have limited canada wide minutes and 1 GB , I mean what is 1 G, 2 speed tests and 3 of those Justin Bieber videos and you already hit the 75 % mark.

Re: Back to School Specials Have Started- $40/$45 Plans- Virgin, Koodo and Fido Promotions

Michael77 — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 02:06:43 GMT

Yes, these are the Ontario plans. The PM promo plans are better.

That's true. 1 gig is not much. 🙂

xCameron94x — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 02:12:59 GMT

@Michael77 I disagree. The NEW PM plans are not competive enough. The Old ones maybe.

But virgin: 1GB data, 500 canada wide minutes and unlimited text. $40 a month ($30 for the first 6 months)

PM New: 1GB data, Unlimited Canada wide mins, unlimited text- 30 days- $60

PM New: 3GB data, Unlimited Canada wide, Unlimted texts- 90 days- $55/month

I would recommend the virgin plan over the PM one

Hi xCameron94x,

I do agree with you. The old PM plans were a lot better. The new ones are too expensive.

Mana — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 02:54:30 GMT

So expensive for only 1gb of data!!

Re: Back to School Specials Have Started- $40/$45 Plans- Virgin, Koodo and Fido Promotions

mimmo — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 03:48:11 GMT

I would do the zoomer plan. For 40.5$ and 50$ (i tjink) referal.

500 minutes is a "Special"?

Last couple of years Fido at least had double minutes / triple data add ons
