A fresh nudge in BYOP value from Koodo
A few days after kicking off Black Friday deals, Koodo has sweetened its bring-your-own-phone plans. The Telus-owned carrier boosted data by 10GB on select BYOP options. This move makes the plans feel more tempting for budget shoppers.
What changed on Koodo BYOP plans
Here’s how the data stacks up now. The $40 plan gets 50GB of 5G data, up from 40GB. The $50 plan rises to 70GB of 5G data, up from 60GB. The $75 plan keeps its 100GB of 5G data. Each of these comes with a monthly discount of $10 if you pay by bank auto-pay. All three plans still include unlimited Canada-wide calling and unlimited international SMS. And every plan adds one free perk.
Koodo’s free perk options vary by plan. You might find premium voicemail, data rollover, a 5G speed boost, or a few days of Easy Roam in the U.S. or elsewhere. The exact perk changes with the plan, so check what’s offered when you sign up.
What you get beyond data
The added data makes these options feel stronger than before. They’re now more likely to match or beat rivals on price per gigabyte. The big draw is clear: more data without a big bump in cost, plus the usual perks that come with BYOP deals.
All plans still cover unlimited Canada-wide calling and unlimited international texts. The perks add a small layer of extra value that can tilt the choice for some buyers. The perks can be swapped around depending on the plan you pick, so you can tailor a bit to your usage.
Where Koodo fits into the market
When you stack these against other big carriers, Koodo looks solid. Bell’s Virgin Plus, for example, lists similar lines with $50 for 50GB or $55 for 70GB, and it includes a 10GB data bonus in some bundles. Rogers’ Fido has comparable options as well, with $50/50GB and $55/70GB plans. In short, Koodo’s refreshed data helps it stay competitive with these big players.
On the cheaper side, Freedom Mobile and Public Mobile still offer lower-price routes. Freedom has deals like $39 for 60GB and $49 for 100GB, both with 5G and wide travel usage. Public Mobile’s plans are similar but can run about $1 more each month, and they usually come with a bit less data. If you don’t live where Freedom is available, the upgraded $40/50GB Koodo plan remains a sensible option.
Who should consider these upgrades
If you aren’t in a Freedom-free zone, the updated Koodo BYOP packages are a strong pick. The extra data helps you ride through heavier months without a price jump. For some shoppers, the choice may boil down to coverage and perks as much as raw data. The new volumes put Koodo in a better position during Black Friday, and many may find it worth a look.
Still, the market is wide. If you want more budget-friendly choices, it’s worth scanning the broader Black Friday roundups. You might land a plan that fits your home region and your data habits just right.
Where to look next for tech deals
Beyond these Koodo options, a fuller look at ongoing Black Friday savings can be helpful. Keeping tabs on the biggest mobile plans can reveal new, limited-time offers as the shopping season continues. It’s a good idea to compare both data totals and the perks attached to each bundle.
