telus vs Koodo

[Mike270412]

Doesn't Telus own Koodoo?

 

[Sessionsdoo]

Been with Koodo for along time. Good reception out in bush I have found. Just as good as other carriers.

Pay $43 a month with 14GB and unlimited call/text in canada.

Got new phone this year but got one that was no cost of 2year plan.

yes but koodoo has throttled back the data stream, compares to "Telus" cell phone plan. In my opinion

 

[bcjeepr]

If you only use your phone as a phone .check out Public Mobile . another Telus company ,but there are savings . if you dont mind being treated like a twelve year old .

i had a bell rep in my office yesterday, he says same towers as telus

That’s true but bell has better service in remote locations for some reason.

Bell uses telus towers in the west and vis versa in the east, the are exactly the same. The only difference would be the phones. That being said, wife and i have the exact same phones with telus and mine gets better service than hers. Why? Who knows, its all Chinese junk

My company phone is a Telus iPhone, my personal phone is a bell iPhone, both 5g. I don’t know why, but I have to use my personal phone to call out. I’ve noticed this for years.

This is the latest promotion, more data than I need but might be worth the upgrade. Can select speed boost 100 mbs upgraded to 200 on 4g. Rollover data might be ok too…

Wife and I bit the bullet and picked up a pair of new phones today, we normally buy the phone outright but the new contracts don't make that economical right now. Google Pixel 7, 40gb of data for $66/month. Plus right now at Best buy you get a $200 gift card with the phone.

Basically cost an extra $11/month for the new phone, over 24 months it's 1/3 the cost of buying it outright.

Telus or koodo

 

[Frosty19]

Also is that with their bring it back offer after the 2 years?

 

[ABMax24]

Telus or koodo

Koodo for the plan.

The gift card rebate applies to all carriers, but varies by phone model. I think there is an iPhone that gets a $400 gift card.

My son worked forTelus for 14yrs and suggested the changed last year.

Koodo is owned by Telus. It’s weird that pricing is lower & benefits better. We still get our Telus discount for having all
Services under their umbrella.

Bringing this up....

I have been with Telus for a while. My current plan is Unlimited talk text Canada only, Unlimited data. 87 bucks a month plus tax.

Turns out I use less than 1 gig of data per month, so I don't need that....but none of the Telus plans are any cheaper really. I could use USA talk/text as I don make a fair number of calls down there.

I'm looking at Public Mobile. Looks like for around 40 bucks a month I can get Canada/USA unlimited Talk/text...comes with 60gig data (which I will never use).

Anyone go this route? Do I have to go into a store to switch cards or anything? What about keeping my current phone number? (sorry....not a techy nerd)

Edit: I see Public doesn't offer WiFi calling. I kind of need that as my cell coverage sucks out where I live, so I use WiFi calling through my home internet all the time when I work from home. So looks like Koodo may be an option?

Koodo $34 plan has 50 gb and wifi calling. They are sometimes hidden promos. They also have a $30 plan.

 

[ABMax24]

On my Koodo account, I'm currently showing $65 to do a Canada-US plan. Unlimited calls and texts and 120gb of data.

 

[ferniesnow]

I switched to Koodo months ago (2 phones) and saved close to $100/month. I won’t use the GB of data that comes with the plan as before we switched, we would use 3% of the 5 GB of data from Telus.
I don’t have a problem with Telus in the back country. Seldom have no service but then again, I am not into the same patterns as I was 10 years ago.

Telus has much better packages than what they advertise online, you just have to call and ask. Even if you work for a larger company, often they have unadvertised discounts. You just need access to an email address for the company when initially setting it up. $60-$65 per month for unlimited North America, 100GB per month is pretty common with Telus these days.

I’ve been with Koodo for many years now and currently have $45 per month for unlimited Canada and 75GB data. Way more than I need for at home, and I buy esims for data plans whenever I travel for usually less than $10 per month, depending on where and how much data I need.

This is the way. I'm on the same plan and have been with them for 4 years for a dollar off each year I've been subscribed, plus I recommended the Wife for another dollar off. I'm down to $30 a month. Same service as regular Telus.
Bring your own device though.
