did Back to School deals really SUCK, or did i just miss them?

been really busy the last three weeks, but had my eye on upgrading some aging hardware soon.

thinking "Back to School promos," i finally check the Koodo site and it's the same "Summer Sale" that's been on for months.

saw the 128GB S10 for $0 down and $25/mo tab for 2 years (total cost $580). so i log-in and the "deals" are exactly the same as anyone else could get, even though i've been with Koodo for 10+ years — and to qualify for the Tab for the S10, i'd have to ditch my $60/10GB plan for $75/10GB.

serious question: is this what qualifies as a "deal" these days?

There hasn't been a deal on plans from koodo or other big 3 brands for a long time. They give you some discount on devices and/or gift cards/bill credits. You can try calling them. The $60/10gb plan should be eligible for Tab medium.

How much data are you looking for?

Koodo was too busy killing people's side businesses churning phones, they didn't get around to doing a back to school sale. :P

Sales are not conducive to increasing ARPU. So back to school deals suck.

Call them, $60 plan would be eligible for tab. There are different versions of this plan, some with tab, some without

I never knew they had Back to School deals.

Thanksgiving is around the corner but the biggest deals of the year is a month after...

Black Friday!
