My comment about no hardcopy contract from Koodo was a response to @MariaLoranger's comment about the same, not a rant, more of a (half-)surprised disapproval. No, I'm not with Koodo and I have no plans (no reason) to leave PM at this time.

This is wise and makes perfect sense. 
But how to discern whether any particular Koodo store is Telus-owned or Telus-franchised?

Hi @MariaLoranger,
I'll address this one point: it's a misinterpretation by not looking carefully enough. The small print is a generic and not specific to this plan. This is very common practice. However, each of these conditions has a number beside it. The one you're talking about is #3:
If you were to look at a cheaper plan such as this $30 plan, you can clearly see it includes a little "3" beside the calling feature in the description:
This indicates that condition 3 applies to this plan.
However, for the $40 promo plan, it does not apply, and there is no little "3" beside the calling feature:
This is how you know that note 3 does NOT apply to the promo plan.

This is the plan:
To get it, tell the Koodo rep to enter this code:
GOKOODO405GBBPO
You can also attempt to get your SIM card free with this code:
PM-SIM-0
Your mileage may vary on that - the rep I dealt with would not do it so I am dealing right now with them via Twitter demanding I get it.
Additionally there is a $100 credit applied to your account which should show up on your first bill. The rep told me it did NOT show in their system but calling Koodo's customer care verified that it will show up.
For the minutes, the rep verified that this is the case - no limit, no time restrictions. On the website if you look at the plans you'll see in the details a superscript number that you need to look in the terms at the bottom - you'll see the number for the restricted minutes applies only to certain plans.
HOWEVER this 5GB plan does NOT show up on the website (at least not the last time I viewed it). This plan is meant to be done in-store only. You CAN enter the code on the website as well as your number and you will see the $100 credit (which is weird that the rep doesn't see it when doing in-store) but the actual plan will NOT show up. Very confusing.
The earlier 4GB plan WILL show up though. Some people have done that and then called Koodo and switched it to the 5GB one afterwards.
Yes, they should make this easier but hopefully if you pursue this the above will help. Printing it out and having it in your hand should do it.
