Koodo Mobile opens its virtual doors

Koodo phones

The day has come and Koodo Mobile's website is up and running, just like we've expected. Currently the Telus owned MVNO is offering three phones - Samsung U410, MOTOKRZR and Motorola W385, which cost CA$75, CA$200 and CA$125 respecitvely. But the price can go down, not with a contract - but with the so called "tab." Here's how they explain the "tab:"

Instead of a fixed-term contract, Koodo Mobile lets you run a tab towards the price of a new mobile phone. If you're eligible, it's a flexible new way to get a phone without paying the full retail price, and without a chubby contract. And, it's also a way to earn a brand new phone down the road.

In addition to phones, there are three plans in the mix - Talk & Text Combo which is available for CA$25 per month, Five Essentials Combo for CA$30/month and All You Need Combo for CA$65/month. Every "Combo" plan includes Unlimited Local Evenings and Weekends, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Conference Calling and Per-Second Billing. Alternatively, you can create your own plan and/or get yourself some phone accessories along the way… Check out Koodo Mobile's website for more information.

      At first I was really really excited. Saw all the catchy banners around school and the subway. Then reality sank in.
      Even the cheapest plan ($25) still doesn't include:
      Voicemail ( Another $5)
      Call display (another extra $5)

      And this really dubious thing called "Detailed billing" that you can get for an additional $3. Really? Does that mean that without this option, my bill will be a summary?

      I don't know, Telus has always had a reputation for being a rip-off, and Koodo seems to be a new & improved version, but sadly still just a gentle rip-off. I have to admit, the "Tab" and no contract are very appealing, but lord knows what the fees are for going on this tab.
