The G6 is a fantastic phone. Is you're willing to sell it to me for 'pennies' I've got a bunch around here somewhere.

Furthermore, Walmart had the G6 on the small tab with a $250 gift card during the holidays up until early this week.repatch wrote: ↑ The G6 is a fantastic phone. Is you're willing to sell it to me for 'pennies' I've got a bunch around here somewhere.
Stop with the hyperbole. The G6 is hovering around $250 on ebay. It's nowhere near 'pennies'.
All that said, this deal is ICE cold. Buying and cancelling with Koodo means: $480+tax - $150 = $330 + tax
Not a deal at all.

With the price you pay for the in market plan you need to take this 'deal' you're paying WAY more then you should be. There are alot better deals out there.

No you don't, you can cancel (or port out) right away if you want. You're not obligated. This only ensures that best buy receives their commission. The GC is yours once the activation is done.bridonca wrote: ↑ The Koodo website still has the G6 going for $240. With SIM card cost, 1 day of service, and tax, that is still less than $300. With Best Buy, you still have to pay an activation fee, and are obligated to stay with Koodo for 90 days if you intend to take advantage of Best Buy's gift card.

In Android terms, it's an old phone. Mine is barely 6 months old and it can't make it a day on a charge. Old tech like Snapdragon 821 quad core chip when everyone is on 8 Core chips now... in my experience the mid-range 630 chipsets seem faster. It has a nice screen, waterproof, but that's it. I can't recommend it in 2019. Lucky if I can get $150 for my used one when I sell it. It runs Kijiji nice and choppy, too.LuxErus wrote: ↑ Furthermore, Walmart had the G6 on the small tab with a $250 gift card during the holidays up until early this week.
They also had the A8 on the small tab with a $225, which is what I purchased. The A5 had a $300 gift card!
It is ridiculous to call anything like the G6 an old phone, that comment must have been made by someone addicted to the latest crap whether it is worth buying or not.

If you can't make a day of charge, and kijiji is choppy, you need to research what app is zapping your battery life and killing your performance.Gibsons wrote: ↑ In Android terms, it's an old phone.

If you don't care what you daily drive and got that big gift card... then I guess it's acceptable. Some of us know there are much better choices for a budget phone in 2019.

No offense, but your understanding of technology is seriously limited if you think 8 cores are required for a phone (or if they're even used).Gibsons wrote: ↑ In Android terms, it's an old phone.
