If so, what do you think of their service? Any complaints/gripes about them over Big Red (Rogers) or Big Blue (Bell)?

Your answer lies within, Mr. Search Engine

I'm curious about this myself. Here's a bump.

I am with them. I dumped Bell because they are amongst the shittest companies ever (terrible problems with getting LOADS of phone calls for a local Russian bakery and Portuguese cheese shop), and I like the month-to-month nature of the deal.

I have seen my mobile bill go from a combined (two phones) ~$90 with Bell, to ~$48 with Koodoo.

Hit me up if you want more questions answers

OrangeContent · 07-06-2009, 01:14 PM

I had koodoo.

They were okay, but when you go over your plan shit hits the fan.

I dropped them for Bell lmfao... I wanted a blackberry and koodoo couldn't provide that. (yet??)

I love how the last two posts left to switch to their old carriers.

No problems at all, versus SERIOUS fucking headaches with Bell.

My plan is $32 a month. That includes 100 minutes, 100 texts, and free after 5PM & weekends. Caller ID, VM, and call forwarding.

They run on the Telus CDMA network & I believe they are owned by Telus aswell (Like Rogers has Fido). So by extension their customer service would be no better then Telus

Bell & Telus have had a pact for awhile with their CDMA network with the only "big" difference imo being their individually owned hot spot repeaters.

Looked like a huge money grab.

That answered my own questions, thank you.

The funny thing is my boyfriend is with Fido while I'm with Rogers, and he swears that Fido is way better. They do seem to be more customer oriented than Rogers when he calls to ask them about things, I have to admit. But the pricing and obviously the network is the same.

Elli · 07-06-2009, 04:43 PM

Argh double post.

StuartD · 07-06-2009, 04:48 PM

I considered Koodo when I was looking, but (at the time anyway) they only had like, 6 phones to choose from.. and none were overly great.
And I needed my phone more for data than voice, so I needed to be able to get a lot of data for cheap.
For this reason I grabbed the HTC Touch with Bell.... $7/month unlimited data. No wifi, which sucks but unlimited data over the network has been a life saver.
