Koodo Mobile officially releases the iPhone 4
Koodo Mobile has released the iPhone 4. Certainly a step up in class for their devices as this joins the Nexus S as one of their flagship phones. As expected, you can get the iPhone 4 on the Tab for $500, or on a newly created three-year contract for $160. Koodo does make a note that “If you decide to cancel before then, you simply have to pay the remaining balance on the discount you received on the purchase of your iPhone.”
In addition, the monthly price plans are what we let you know last week: $65/month gets you 250 daytime minutes, Unlimited evenings and weekends, Unlimited Messaging, 500MB data, Voice mail. Then the $80/month give you 500 daytime minutes, Unlimited evenings and weekends, Unlimited messaging, 1GB data, Voice mail.

how is the price on a 3-yr contract for an iPhone still so damn high, especially with a new iteration coming so soon

Most consumers have no idea that a new iPhone will be out soon.

This just in: the Americans have landed on the moon!
Didn’t they spend countless dollars on bashing contracts and now realized that when you have expensive handsets it’s actually a more feasible option? Way to cross the floor on that, Koodo. You’re worse than a US politician on health care. Maybe you should try flipping your script about the flamboyant shirts you force your employees to wear! To be fair, their cancellation policy is what it should be everywhere else.

FYI they are the same company, Koodo’s plans are to see what they can get. They will fall in line once all the early adopters grab their iphone. Because telus’ plan “has them beat” those who wont pay the koodo price will pay the telus price and still put their money in the same pot. Telus manages their two brands the best, complimenting each other rather then compete with each other. this is evidenced by their stock price in comparison to Rogers or BCE.

Telus is really good at being irrelevant. I was hopeful that the Koodo experiment would show them that changes are a good thing. They have the customer base that would enable them to make a real difference in the industry.
Lower your prices and more people will sign up for service!

Adam, where do you live? Here in BC, Bell piggybacks off the TELUS network in 90% of the coverage areas.

1) WTF!
2) I thought Koodo was all about having no “contracts”
3) Its still expensive for their so called “contract” for 3 years.
4) Their plans are ridiculously expensive.
5) That is all

Great, now Koodo is becoming more Telus (its sister company) than Koodo. I thought and like Emperuman said, I thought Koodo wasn’t about the contracts.

Koodo also isn’t about $650 devices. Nobody is forcing you to go on contract, if you want it because you can’t afford to pay $500 for the phone, that option is there.

i’m actually glad koodo’s introducing contracts. these days, everyones going for a smartphone and nobody’s going to pay $500 for one.
i wish they allowed contracts for nexus s with no seperate plan.

Apple doesn’t release their unlocked iPhone sales vs carrier locked, but a lot of people I have seen on the Redflagdeals forum have purchase unlocked.
As did I. If you are in a 1 year upgrade cycle, unlocked and sell privately is the way to go. Check out kijiji or ebay and see the prices.
People will, can, and do. The plans suck as there is subsidy built into them. Buy it unlocked, and get your own plan, which is the cheapest going. At least you can use tab credits to do it.

These plans are surprisingly worse than what is offered by Telus, Bell and Rogers.

“250 daytime minutes, Unlimited evenings and weekends, Unlimited Messaging, 500MB data, Voice mail” This should be a $50 plan at most and should include CID. 500mb of data on an iPhone4, good luck.

Not a bad step for Koodo. Although the plans are still garbage. You could just do the $45 unlimited talk, text, and Caller ID with their flexible mobile data option and pay the same as their $80 plan (assuming you used 1GB of data) and essentially swap for Caller ID instead of voicemail. Everyone complains about prices but remember over a year ago (before the new companies entered the market) 500 anytime minutes would cost approx. $60 not including caller ID, voicemail, data or the garbage “extra fees” that ROBELUS loved to include.

I wonder if it still carrier locked when not on contract…and I agree the data cost/amount is abhorrent.

Bullshit plan. Bullshit brand. Virgin has better plans than this! I got the 45$ unlimited no zone plan plus 6gb of data, caller ID and unlimited talk and text for $75 for my IPhone. cheaper than their $80 and way more stuff included.
I know Virgin is not per second billing, but I don’t care, I’m unlimited!!

$80 for a plan that doesn’t have unlimited talk, let alone caller ID?!?!?!?!? The iPhone, especially with 4 being out for almost a year, is not worth that plan price premium. What happened to being a discount brand.
Consumers might as well go to Fido $35 Unlimited Talk/Text + 1GB of data for $30 brings you down to only $65 for a better value. Funny Fido customer can still add caller ID and still be cheaper…. Koodo must be into the iPhone hype.

Koodo brings out the device everyone wanted this past year. Fine. It will still sell well on Koodo in the year to come if they lower their plans to actually be competitive. Currently these are the worst plans available for iphones if you take the contract. (Check the websites if you disagree) But customers who can afford to take the tab can sign up for any plan they want.
Koodo just figure your s**t out as far as data is concerned and you could easily be the best service available.

everyone wanted an iphone and that is what koodo gave its customers. i can’t believe that people expect to get the most expensive phone on the market for free. koodo listened to customers feedback and listened. dont be cheap, put it on the TAB and you get an awesome deal!

It’s actually not that bad.. I just double check form koodo’s website and there’s 2 options. One option is to put the iphone on the Tab which removed 150 of the price of the phone. another option is by contract
If u put the Iphone into the tab, they don’t really care what data plan or what plan you are on, If you put yourself in a contract then you have to go to this ridiculous expensive plans. You are not really forced into a contract. Just go on the tab with a regular plan with data saver or just use wifi. If you want the iphone badly on a cheaper price then go in a contract with an expensive crappy plan.
In the end it’s still your choice whether you want to be stuck in a contract and changed the plan or Go with the TAB and have the same plan..
