New Low-Data Plans Make Mobile Browsing Affordable!

August 15th, 2010 by Peter Leave a reply »

Residents of Canada rejoice!

The cell phone carriers Telus and Koodo Mobile have introduced plans that enable customers to use a real smartphone for as low as $25 (Koodo) and $40 (Telus) + tax per month! Unheard of!

How do they do it:

Instead of the standard 500MB of data included in a smartphone package, these carriers allot 100MB for basic web browsing, email, social networking and instant messaging.

Koodo Mobile: Even though Koodo’s smartphone selection is currently limited to the Inq Chat 3G (A fantastic smartphone, btw) they do offer the cheapest of the cheap smartphone add-on:

$10 for 100MB of data.

This can be added on to any voice plan, even the $15 50 anytime minute + 50 text message plan. Most of my customers are adding the $10 to the $25 talk and text plan, which gives you 100 minutes, unlimited text & picture messaging, and unlimited local talking on weekends and evenings after 7pm. Note that this 100MB add on can’t be used on a Blackberry device

Conversely, Telus is offering a $40 student plan that includes the 100MB’s of data. If you have valid student ID, shelling out the $40/mth has big value – especially if you opt for a 3 year agreement. On a 3yr plan, you get 200 minutes, 100MB’s of data, unlimited text, nationwide talk and text to 10 numbers, 6pm evenings and weekends, and to top it all off – free voice mail!

The Telus Student 40 plan is available on all of their consumer phones, and these smartphones: Inq Chat 3G, Nokia E72, Nokia E71, HTC Snap, LG New Chocolate, Samsung Advance and the HTC Hero.

Future Shop, as always, carries both and guarantees the lowest price. Yes I work for Future Shop – if you happen to be from Orillia, Ontario, come see me in-store!
