Koodo offering 10GB Canada-wide plan for $60/month with no term

tod — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 20:07:29 GMT

It seems Koodo is offering 10GB Canada-wide plan for $60 in AB/BC/ON: https://mobilesyrup.com/2017/12/15/koodo-offers-6010gb-promo-deal-ontario-alberta-british-columbia/

Seeing this on their main page as well, it's a bit tempting...any plans for PM to jump on the bangwagon with a similar deal?

@tod and everyone else. NEVER WAIT for a promo. Always take the best deal that meets your needs whenever it appears.

That being said, my sense is that PM will never match competitor promos at the time, and, that they believe current prices are generally competitive enough.

Also, remember that many current customers already have grandfathered pricing, loyalty rewards, and referrals inhibiting their need to jump ship. From PM's perspective they only stand to lose data "gluttons" and that is a segment they have "ignored" from the beginning. PM pricing clearly targets unlimited calling only, and unlimited calling/texting with moderate data. It is still the lowest in those categories.

I wish PM would come up with a similar promo. I REALLY do not want to leave PM, and the loyalty/referal bonuses I am getting.. The only reason i'm not switching over right now is because I just recently paid for the next 90 days.. I'd be basically flushing $100 down the toilet if I were to switch over to Koodo.. 😕

Come on PM.. give me a reason to stay!

@LudditeI agree to disagree...What about the $40 12GB fall 2016 promo that I'm currently on and the constant extra data promos? Also, let's not forget the $40 12gb promo for freedom mobile a few months back... Yes, the rewards are nice but so is Canada-wide, extended coverage, being able to roam outside canada and the us, at least a statement regarding VoLTE and wifi calling, etc. Not to mention the PM "unlimited" calling is almost as the freedom mobile one where your calls get cut out after 2-2.5hrs which is annoying as I'm on very long conference calls sometimes.

Seems like koodo is getting some competition in Ontario and even offering the plan for a little less.

Has anyone actually checked the details on the Koodo plan?

Wondering if " Plus, get a $10 bill credit for 12 months on plans $55+ when you bring your own phone.*" also applies, that would be a killer....

This plan seems to line up to Freedom's similar plan at that same price, but with a larger and more stable network.

@Wonder_why @On RFD someone mentioned a cheaper offer today only for Ontario. Trying not to discuss the details though.

@Wonder_why Well I just checked at a koodo store and they said there's no further discount. They also said the $10 credit for 12 months is for their other plans only. I can try another store later and I'll wait until Monday to see if PM comes up with something.

Don't count on PM coming up with anything...

Can confirm that the $10 credit isn't available on it. The legal stuff now includes it on the Koodo site, and I checked in the Telus/Koodo store today too. Would've been quite a good deal to PM folks (and for Telus to shuffle the prepaid into postpaid). I'll be switching to Telus postpaid tomorrow.

My main reason for leaving is the extra data, but also the fact that postpaid plans are easier to move around on. I'll basically be surrendering 2 months of my plan because it was prepaid. Now with postpaid again, I can leave and get my bill pro-rated. Makes it easier to take offers/promos on different carriers without getting dinged each time.

Well we could all mitigate that pre-paid issue by sticking with 30 day plans on autopay. The risk is only $5 - $6 per 90 days; or about $24/year. The biggest potential headache is the port-out if it fails, and of course the aggravation of going to a kiosk for promos that only activate at stores.

@I know but 10GB Data for $60 Canada Wide call, I am happy, look @ PM $60 only 5GB Data

PM is getting pathetic these days. It's like they don't try to promote their brand or care to add new customers anymore. I stop recommending them to my friends a long time ago. I'm thinking of migrating to Virgin because their 10GB data plan is permanent. The Koodo plan from what I heard is a promo for 2 years so after your contract you go back to 3GB and the 7GB bonus data is removed automatically.
