Telus-owned Koodo continues to offer existing customers special plans that are unavailable on the company’s website. These plans aim to either retain customers or to get them to increase their monthly bill spend.
Right now, some existing Koodo customers are seeing the following plans, according to info obtained by iPhone in Canada:
All plans include unlimited Canada-wide calling and messaging.
What’s interesting to note here is the $55/80GB plan lists “Unlimited Data” as one of five available perks, joining Premium Voicemail, Unlimited International SMS (from Canada), Rollover Data and Unlimited Long Distance Pack options.
Check out our screenshot below:
It’s unclear if this “unlimited data” is at full speed or throttled. Koodo currently charges $130/1GB for data overages. We’ve reached out to the company for comment and will update this story accordingly.
Update November 21, 2023, 2:12pm PT: A Koodo spokesperson confirmed to iPhone in Canada the unlimited data option offered today was “put up in error” for a small number of existing customers. The error has since been fixed and Koodo says they apologize for the inconvenience.

Just checked my Koodo account and NOTHING for me.
Did you ckeck under “change my plan”? There are usually a few choices there even if they are not good ones?
I was told everyone has access to the canada-us plans. you should too.
“Koodo currently charges $130/1GB for data overages.”
That’s disgusting.
You are crazy if you end up in a situation like that….1gb data nowadays is about $0.50-$1 as long as you pick the right plan.
They actually warn you when you are running low and stop your data at your limit so you don’t get charged. Then you can go into your account and add more if needed. The rate I don’t know as I have 100gb and have never been able to use it all and the free rollover data perk is also a free perk or cheap if you want it as a second perk. So no worries really.
My profile shows the three plans above, all with the same four “perks”:
$55/80GB 5G
$60/100GB 5G Canada-US
$65/100GB 5G Canada-US
I’m currently on $55/70GB 5G so I’ll be switching to the $55/80GB 5G shortly.
Same, I swapped from $55 60 GB to $55 80 GB.
I called. It’s a mistake. They don’t have unlimited data. 🙁 Not that it matters, rollover data is full speed, most unlimited data is throttled to useless levels.
I recently updated to the 60 dollar 100gb Canada/US plan which is also 5G and it works great! I used to occasionally hook up to the US when close to the border in Niagara Falls, Queenstown, even near Port Colborne once and sometimes got charged the extra 14 bucks roaming for the day which is very annoying as when you turn off roaming you don’t get data in some places in Canada if you can’t roam. So you have to keep remembering to turn it off if you drive close to the border! This new plan gives me full US and Canada calling, texting and data in 5G along with 25 more Gigs that my previous plan. It was a great upgrade for only 5 more bucks per month.
I also bought a Pixel 7 three months back for better than free, Koodo paid me to buy it as it was 11 bucks a month on the two year tab with a 375 dollar bill rebate at 25/month for 15 months! My son also this week got the same phone for free (no tab charge or up front cost) and upgraded to the same plan I have for the extra 5 bucks!
These plans and phone deals are often on the site without logging in however if you long in frequently and check what Koodo is offering you under “change my plan” you can get some nice surprises, even increases in data or changes from 3G to 4G, or 4G to 5G with no change in price.
These are the reasons I have stayed with Koodo for many years now.
