So what is the zero dollar phone plan? Is there a phone I can get for Zero dollars or is it zero dollars up front and pay tab monthly.

Latest offering from Koodo

Until recently I felt left out from all the texts to switch to Koodo , here's the latest for those who haven't seen it yet. I'm particularly excited to see the 5gb offer, that is quite an impressive deal, and a shift in the approach it seems.

Lower than 40 has always been my goal, if I didn't have so many referrals from being with PM for so long I'd definitely consider this offer...

It says $0 with the Tab, so you will have a Tab charge - I don't know if it is small or medium tab and does it apply to both offers

Came here to post this. Seems like a good deal, but I’m very wary of promotions. What are the risks/downsides to switching? I don’t have any referrals and don’t intend on switching my phone anytime soon.

What happens to Koodo and Public Mobile? How come koodo keeps stealing clients from his little brother? Because we pay too much now or Public mobile is going to die. Could anyone tell me whats the trick behind the deal?

Guess - TELUS is trying harder and harder to get all 4G users over to Koodo, and future plan for Public Mobile? a pure 3G provider?

I received it as well. Seems like the best offer yet, however, while some may be lured in, it's still not enough for me.

Personally I prefer my bill to be much lower while still benefitting from decent perks and it can only be possible with public mobile through rewards and referrals - that is one thing that makes PM great.

I'm also very much aware of how things are running elsewhere in the world where you can get 40gb plans for 7euro a month... therefore these deals kinda make me feel dumb and exploited more than anything...

Lastly, I'm still unsure why another provider under the Telus umbrella is trying to lure us away from PM - feels like as soon as most do so they can take the plans and perks away and raise prices...

If thats the plan, Increase 5/month and promote $35/5GB or $40/8GB. I believe most custom will switch to koodo or other carrier.

In the end of the day, Telus wants everyone to be post paid, much preferred for shareholders. However, there is and always will be a market for prepaid, and that's why I doubt that public mobile will be going away anytime soon. However, PM is looking more like the gateway to Koodo and post paid services for those who are on the fence.

It does seem like PM is Telus’ way to draw people over to their network, and then up-sale them to Koodo which is more locked in. (Nothing in life is free, especially if it’s a free phone. 🙂)

got this offer as well and am interested in switching. One problem, I already have a $50 balance on my Public Mobile account (through a voucher). I realize they are giving you a 180$ credit with koodo once you switch, but what will happen with my unused $50 Public Mobile balance? Will they transfer that to Koodo too?

Gosh this is a nice choice. Cheaper price with lots of data or even more data for same price as the earlier special.

I would prefer to keep my monthly price lower at $35/mo as 5Gb is plenty (i'm not sure i hit 2Gb/mo).

Both plans include unlimited minutes & text.

And both qualifies for medium tab - although there haven't been as many medium tab specials/ activation credits recently but they happen.

It's better than the $40/ 6Gb plan i switched to on the earlier promo.

For those interested, we switched one plan to Koodo & kept one at PM & quite happy with both company's service & plans.

My wife wanted to stay on PM $40-$2 with 12G/90d plan which I think has some advantages too - such as 90 days to average out data use and cheaper US roaming add-ons on PM with no accidental roaming charges (as it just doesn't work). And call forwarding (whereas Koodo charge $3).

Koodo advantage is the potential discount on phones, usually Canada wide minutes and physical locations.

Both have same reception.

Sorry, didn't mean to start another thread, I missed your while I was posting!

Very interesting times indeed. I have the 40/4.5gb promo and just got the same text, still not worth it for me, and I'll always prefer prepaid unless prices drop even more for postpaid.

You will lose the $50 balance when the account closes, that's the reason for the $180 incentive.

I've just used the promo to switch over to Koodo, but my next billing date with Public Mobile is August 29th (next Wednesday). Does anyone know what I can do to make sure I don't get billed but make sure my service isn't interrupted/my number ported over successfully? I don't mind a service interruption, but want to guarantee my number gets moved over properly. Any help is very much appreciated!

I was wondering how many people were left after the last offerings to switch. This is definitely the best one yet for me, as $35 is what I'm paying here with the perks but this is more data, and basically 5 months of free bills (using the $180 credit). Plus my 3 month term is about to be up (so no money lost)... and I can't see myself gaining many more perks here with PM in the future.

Anyone have any solid evidence of the downfalls of taking a deal such as this? I know it would put me back on a "credit" plan instead of pay-as-you-go, but I think I can handle it...

Someone convince me not to take it!

Cheers,

Jamie
