Almost a week ago Koodo introduced new Canada-wide promo plans that included double the data of what competitors Fido and Virgin Mobile were offering. The only difference was the Koodo unlimited plan was $60 compared to the $57 offering by Fido and Virgin Mobile (both quickly doubled data to 2GB to match Koodo). Now, MobileSyrup...

According to a new survey, Canadians are more addicted to our smartphones than we think. WIND Mobile conducted the national survey on November 21-22 (from 1501 Angus Reid Forum panel members) and here is what they discovered from cellphone owners aged 18-34, on what they would give up before their smartphones: 37% of say they would...

You have heard about Fido's popular $57 unlimited plan (it now includes 2GB of data), which is only good for customers on monthly or 2 year terms. It meant the iPhone 5 was excluded since a three year term is required for the latest iPhone on a subsidized price. But that has now changed. Available today...

If you happened to jump on Fido's popular $57 unlimited promo plan (recently extended to Jan. 2013) before Friday's update which upped the data plan to 2GB, you will be required to contact Fido to get that additional gigabyte added to your plan. Fido's data bucket increased when Koodo added 2GB to their similar unlimited...

Looks like we have some hot three way action now (Fido vs Koodo vs Virgin)--regarding the $57 unlimited plan that is.

Virgin Mobile's Choice 57 plan includes:...

This promotion is noted on the Bell website and goes until Monday:...

Just a quick note on Fido's $57 promotional voice and data plan. We earlier noted it was quietly extended to January 7th of 2013, and now it appears to have gotten even better. As spotted by iPhone in Canada reader @habsfan324, the data allowance has now doubled to 2GB, essentially making this a fantastic plan for...

Koodo has launched new Canada-wide promo voice and data plans (as first spotted by MobileSyrup yesterday) to go with some improvements to their regular plans. For the promo Canada-wide plans, voice minutes and data buckets have doubled, which make them perfect for the casual unlocked iPhone user. The $60 plan looks pretty awesome and is better...
