I hope you gave him all 5s for making sure you get the best plan...... at Koodo.

KrishnaP99183 wrote: ↑Well I had called Koodo initially to transfer only my line. They told me that the best promotion they could offer me was the $35 GB plan but with 4GB total and a $5 discount for 24 months.
I then called Fido to match Koodo and they offered me this deal.

I have attached a screenshot.
I am not sure if its for QC only however I am from QC.

And there's the catch to OP getting a great rate plan.
OP, you should mention all of this in your Original post. (multi-line, from QC)

LMAO.... Did you ask them what if you move to QC? Lol

Sounds like a terrible deal to me.

How is it terrible ? After 24 months, you call again to get a better deal. Also the phone will belong to me after 24 months.
After taxes, the total is $73 because it includes the google pixel 4 xl financing which comes to around $38 with all the taxes.

Just FYI, when I called Fido, I told them Koodo is offering 5GB instead of 4GB as a bluff. I guess that worked because they gave me 6 GB

Yes, the pixel 4 XL was my choice. I am mostly a android person as I do not own any Apple products.
I just checked Fido and there is a down payment of $310 on the IPhone 11 pro. I had a $0 down payment on the Pixel 4 XL

10 days ago I bought a smartphone (new customer- QC) from Fido, an iPhone XS 256 GB for only $672, went with the 2GB for $35 package.
Upon reception of the phone I call them to migrate my phone number from Bell, I was offered without even asking a 2GB bonus for 24 months.
So 4GB X 24 months for $35.

Phone plan: $30/month for 6GB (24 months)
Google Pixel 4 XL financing: ($30/month for 24 months)
Also got a $200 bill credit.

I tried online chat and was not able to get this deal. I was able to get the 9gb for the $40 dollar plan mentioned in another rfd post. where do you even get pixel 4xl to begin with? The rep told me they don't carry it and I don't see it on their website.

Hey let me give you a detailed step by step summary to help you out.

1- I called Koodo and told them that I wanted to migrate from Fido to Koodo and also finance a Google Pixel 4 XL. They told me that their best offer was $35 for 4GB data with a $5 discount for 24 months. So in summary I got 4GB for $30.
2- I knew that Fido did not have the Google Pixel 4 XL in stock. So I first called Cabine sans fil (T-booth mobile for the rest of Canada) and they had it in stock for $30/month financing. They also had a promotion of adding in a $200 visa gift card.
3- I then called Fido, and told them that Koodo was offering me 5GB for $30 and that I would move my line if I did not get a better offer (I bluffed the 5GB even though it was 4GB). The sales rep talked to her manager and they offered me $30 for 6GB of data for 24 months. They told me that if I financed the Samsung S20 from them, they would give me a $200 bill credit however I told them that I was looking for the Pixel 4 XL in particular and that I would purchase it from T-mobile since they did not have it in stock.

Hope this clarifies the process for you !

ALSO, NEVER AND I REPEAT NEVER DO ONLINE CHATS. ALWAYS CALL ! Online chats will never give you any deals as they try to make the most profit possible.

WOW, I CALLED KOODO , THEY TOLD ME NO PLAN LIKE THAT,
ONLY CAN GIVE ME $45-7GB PLAN WITH HW UPGRADE
I AM CURRENTLY HAVE KOODO.
YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!!

I disagree. A large portion of the value of this plan is tied to your 24-month term which makes a huge chunk of the deal temporary. It is a clear from past experience for most on here that getting a good plan tied to a term right now, doesn't automatically mean you'll get a good plan when your term expires.

It might appeal to folks who were already in the market for a subsidized phone, but for those who don't care about this phone, it is still a $35 for 2GB and that is a terrible plan.

But hey, if it works for you, then do it!

Just my opinion here but I disagree. My past plan was $45 for 13 GB of data and they had also given me the Google pixel 2 XL for $100. This was an amazing plan when subsidizing existed (I got this two years ago). Since this plan expired, I called back this week and still got an amazing deal 24 months after. Yes you are tied in for 24 months but you just need to re-negotiate 24 months after. Also FYI, I still have an additional 5GB loyalty left which will last me another year. They told me to call back after it expires and they should be able to re-apply the bonus data aagain. I told them to leave a note on my file and took down the case reference #.

Maybe they gave me that plan because I was migrating from Fido to Koodo ?
Try calling Fido and ask them if they can offer a better deal if you migrate from Koodo.

i JUST DID, THEY COULDN'T DO IT FOR ME REP SAID

KrishnaP99183 wrote: ↑Yes. Also, I did mention that I was going to transfer from Fido. No idea if that helped.

I had them call me twice. All they do is redirect me to the website and say those are the plans we have for new customers...how they offered you 4gbs for 30 remains a mystery

Could it be because I told them that I also wanted to finance a Pixel 4 XL ?

They seemed eager to get me off the phone. Either to a store or activate online. Not an inkling of wanting to make a sale. Perhaps it has to do with phone financing
