Koodo 5 gig Offer

Michael77 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 07:45:29 GMT

I just got the text message from Koodo. I was offered the 5 gig plan. Did anyone else get it? I have until Sept. 16th to decide.

yup, i thought it sounded like a terrible offer, especially if you're fortunate enough to have gotten referrals.

1 more gig, no 3 mth flexibility, appears to still be prepaid. ive used only 49 of the 200 LD mins i bought almost a year ago and came close to running out of data everytime but being stuck to a monthly limit would probably have been worse. i guess it might be a deal if you've been spending more than 10 bucks a month on the LD package or you've ran out of data early and often.

@Michael77 what’s your current PM plan?

I just received the same offer. Not at all enticing considering I won't use that extra 1GB, nationwide calling is of no benefit to me, $0 tab phones are garbage, and the price is $20 more than my current rate. No thanks.

I think this is a good plan for those that are:

1. Not on the fall promo OR

2. Those close to the provincial boundaries

3. Whoever need an extra 1GB of data

4. Want more countries to call to long distance (assuming you don't have hangouts/magic jack/skype, etc)

5. Want to be able to roam internationally

If I read the "Nitty Gritty" correctly and if it also applies to this Koodo offer, you don't need a Canada roaming add-on / option and all calls in Canada are free. Too bad they don't show their rate plans for anything. I find the Koodo's psychodelic site disturbing and annoying.

Quote:

Roaming rates apply outside of Canada. Included data does not roll over at the end of each month.

Includes international text messages sent and received anywhere in Canada. Availability of service will vary by country and is subject to change without notice. Excludes premium and subscription-based messages. Additional data charges apply depending on picture size when roaming in the U.S. and internationally. Picture messaging is supported by BlackBerry smartphone with a SIM card only if a BlackBerry is added to a Koodo plan or a Koodo data plan is chosen. Picture messaging works only if data is turned on."

Remember its $10 a more month. You get store support, and nationwide calling too, and that all imporant one extra GB. Koodo data is also shock free

Also some math:

So you're basically getting (over 90 days) 3GB for $30.

A PM Add on is $30 for 1GB

It's $2 more per month than the Saskatchewan/Manitoba plans.

I got the offer as well.. however right after I just signed up/pre-paid for 3 more months! If I switch I may loose my 2-3 months of pre-payment.

Koodo adds Canada Wide long distance/roaming

Stores

Customer Service

Tab / potential to get a phone reduced even down to $0 for some phones.

Koodo has referal credits but they are $25-$50 (one time).. to a max of $300/year.

If you need the extra GB for an extra $10-$12 a month, or a phone on TAB, or frequently need Canada long distance/roaming go for it. If you need some/limited USA long distance I found PM (LD add on that roles over till used) was cheaper then Koodo (unless you call USA a lot then add Koodo unlimited $10).

I myself am happy with PM.

Correct the Koodo plan is unlimited Canada Wide. I believe at one time Koodo advertised that plans were Canada wide long distance/roaming... however recently they have come up "local minutes" plans etc.

Re: Koodo 5 gig Offer

torontokris — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 19:48:30 GMT

And $1 more than QC promo plan that has 6GB ($49)

However if you dont live in those provinces you may not be eligible for those plans (according to Koodo website).

In Ontario getting 5GB LTE & unlimited Canada Wide talk/text for $50 is actually a "deal"

Had it not been for the PM promo plan a lot of people would be jumping at the $50 plan.

@Michael77 I guess they are probably targeting everyone on the 4gb promo...which means I likely won't get the offer lol.

jchan — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 20:07:57 GMT

I just got this offer today.

Think I'll stay with PM. Still cheaper.

Re: Koodo 5 gig Offer

Michael77 — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 20:28:43 GMT

@denkom,

I heard they will be making offers to people who have a PM $40/2 gig plan. The Koodo offer will be a $50/3 gig plan.

Re: Koodo 5 gig Offer

Michael77 — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 20:38:28 GMT

I think $50 is too expensive compared to our promotional plans. If Koodo offered 4 gigs/Canada wide calling for $40 or 5 gigs/Canada wide calling for $43 or $45, then that would make it more attractive. 🙂

Just got it as well looks like they're using PM voucher locator for closest Koodo store lol

Quite obvious PM/Koodo/Telus is still in damage control mode trying to reduce Freedom promo churn.
