Looks like Koodo, the low-cost TELUS brand has kicked off a new promo in Saskatchewan and Manitoba to compete with regional carriers SaskTel and MTS.
A new promotional $55 per month plan offers the following:
Three days ago, Virgin Mobile rolled out similar plans but an equivalent plan is $10 more. SaskTel already has a $65 unlimited talk/text/data plan in place. MTS offers a similar plan like the Koodo promo but it’s $70 per month.
Students should be able to get $5 off per month (all carriers seem to be offering this) and those who bring their own devices should qualify for 10% off (you should ask for it).
These plans are only available in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The rest of Canada can only salivate at these region-specific promotional offers.

I notice I get the same offer (with more data) from Mobilicity for $35/month, as opposed to the absolute minimum of $45 when you’re a student bringing your own device.
Sure, but you’ll get better coverage outside of major centers with Koodo. Wish I could get this plan in Alberta.
fair for canada… i dont know why we would want more competition ….
This is “fair” and “reasonable” pricing . . . now obviously it’s only available in SK and MB where there’s more local competitors. Who says that competition is a bad thing? If only this was available THROUGHOUT ALL OF CANADA, people wouldn’t revolt and hate the big 3 so much. I like to see these plans available in Vancouver or Toronto! —hence we want more competition in these cities!
Absolutely agree. Bring on Verizon to really make them sweat and have some real competition!
My brother just sign up a $50 5GB LTE plan from one of the Big 3. We are in Vancouver. 🙂 I don’t want to say which carrier because people might think I am doing advertising. Go to stores and check.
I think sharing would be fine. That’s what this blog is for. To share and get the best info. 🙂
