Koodo is about to introduce a new tiered Tab structure this month based on subsidy amounts, soon to be available as the following (via MobileSyrup):
Tab Small: $0 – 150 (original Tab)
Tab Medium: $150.01 – 300;
—$5 monthly Tab Charge until $0 balance
—requires $30 or greater monthly plan
Tab Large: $300.01 – 500;
—$5 monthly Tab Charge until $0 balance
—requires Tab Large Plans
So basically the new monthly Tab Charge is in addition to the 15% Tab Contribution customers will be paying until their balance reaches zero, which Koodo now ‘guarantees’ will be in 24 months or less.
