For years I have shaken my head at how much we Canadians are more than happy to bend over and take it.

And they say this is opening up the market?

hahahahaha excuse me while I go smash my head with a brick out of frustration ]]>Mar 18th 2008 7:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/

Canada is brutal for prices and brutal on competition. I pay $40 (grandfathered), I get 400 Anytime mins, Unlim even/week starting at 6. This does NOT include text messages, nor voicemail, so add another $12 and the $7 access fee and $0.50 for 911 and what you get is a bigger a$$hole.

At least they are providing the best value in the canadian market. What is fido, solo, rogers, or bell doing? Not this...]]>Mar 19th 2008 10:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/Mar 27th 2008 2:17AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/
Looks like I'll wait to get that N810 with WiMax, toss it on to Bell's Sympatico Portable network, add a VoIP provider and roll my own. It's mindblowing that I have to do all that rather than them just selling me a damn iPhone with an acceptable data plan. ]]>Mar 19th 2008 12:07AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/
I really like the N810 but I seriously don't like Bell. I know too many people who received random bills charging them from 40$ up to over 100$ for no apparent reason. One of them called them and they said right away it was a mistake but how many people didnt call to question and just paid right away...]]>Mar 19th 2008 1:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/Mar 19th 2008 1:20AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/Mar 19th 2008 10:44AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/
My bill regularly exceeded $200, because their system would forget what my plan was!

I had to call every month and wait on hold just to get them to fix my bill!!

On Halloween, I received a bill for 479.82!!!!!! I thought it was some sort of a joke, but nope.. same old story.

I can only pray that T-Mobile comes in and shakes things up!]]>Mar 19th 2008 3:09AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/it has the BEST rate plans in Canada, it does NOT charge SAF, unltd text for 5, per second billing, at least they have a KRZR (not the best but it will do), it is on telus' network so we know there is good coverage, call canada for $20 (unlimited nationwide calling), all plans at least include 50 texts, and they have the most minutes for the cheapest price (of the major carriers and popular MNVO's)]]>Mar 19th 2008 8:01AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/Mar 19th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/Mar 19th 2008 11:16PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/Apr 1st 2008 10:42AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/Apr 9th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/Oh, as for the comment that the companies fight for your business, BULLROT, as with all US companies, they are not fighting for your business, they just want your almighty buck.

For the near exact same plan (50 less minutes), Koodo charges $25 ($5 more than Rogers)+ $10 for the call display/voicemail/unlim text package.. so $35plus applicable tax. They say 'pay no access fee' ($6.95 with Rogers) but its just included in all packages. At least they're being up front about it. In the end, I would only save about $5/month. Its 'non-contract', but you can only leave once the phone is paid off in full (the "Koodo Tab").

I might keep it in mind once my latest phone goes, but right now, its just not worth the hassle to switch companies, and personally, I've had far better service with Rogers than Telus. ]]>May 1st 2008 7:57PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/18/canadas-koodo-mobile-lights-up/
And being Russian allows me to make that joke.]]>May 19th 2008 2:18AM
