Re: BYOD Cellphone plans
I too love Koodo
Am on the $15 per month pay as you go plan. I have 500 minutes talk and 1GB data bought as an add on
In Canada wifi is prevalent. You can connect anywhere for free - Tim Hortons, Starbucks, the mall, the train stations everywhere. I never need data and whe n I do, it is minimal.
If you sign up with a credit card, the monthly cost for unlimited texting is $13.95. You really can't beat that.
Love Koodo - no issues ever
Oh - they just brought out US roaming for not much money as an add on - bonus!

We swear by Koodo prepay, as we're light data users and don't talk very much either! $15 a month for unlimited texts, then top up data as you need it (it doesn't expire) for $30 per Gb. 500 minutes of talk (nationwide in Canada) is $25 - again, it never expires, so just top it up when you need to. Koodo is a subsidiary of Telus, so uses their network - good coverage.

Apparently Rogers does this deal quite frequently to lure customers to switch from its 'pre-paid' brands like Chatr, Petro Canada mobile, Fide etc. to its mainstream post-paid brand.

I was with Chatr until this great sim only promotion came out to switch to Rogers (the parent company). I pay $45 for 3GB of data and unlimited text/talk.

I've been using it for about a year and found the reception great. Saves time and money but there are some pop up adverts. It even gives you a local number to use and receive calls.

Public Mobile currently have 4GB of data, unlimited Canada-wide calls and unlimited international texts for $40 on a BYOD plan. I can't post the URL as a new member, but it should be available on their home page (publicmobile dot ca). They run on the Telus network, so coverage will be as good as Telus/Koodo.

Re: BYOD Cellphone plans
I'm another one who uses Koodo prepay. I've been with them for 4 1/2 years and the price hasn't gone up. I like that the minutes and data don't expire like they do with other companies. They had double talk/data booter packs last winter (Boxing Day sale I think) and I didn't have to top up again until last week. Never any issues with coverage. We're soon going to get the same pre-pay plan for our oldest child.

It's good that there seems to be more choice these days. Obviously the market is still light years behind the UK and even the US but fewer people seem content to be held to ransom by the likes of Rogers and Telus.
