Under all circumstances, whether you stay or leave Koodo, if you pay off the Tab early, you are required to pay off any applicable/remaining "phone credits" as well.

You're still on the hook for phone credit even if you paid the tab immediately, there's no way to circumvent it AT ALL.Chopras wrote: ↑ I think recently everyone is confused about the koodo change in policy. My understanding is the following.
1. If you sign up for koodo and pay off your tab immediately if you are keeping koodo plan you will not be penalized.
2. If you plan to leave koodo you will be penalized a portion of the phone credit remaining. If you quit after 12 months you will pay back 50% of the phone credit. Because the credit is applied over 24 months.
3. If you pay off after 12 months and want to upgrade with Koodo. This part is confusing. Initially the language suggested that upgrades/cancellation would both have to pay back the phone credit. However, recent language in “Nitty Gritty” suggests the phone credit penalty is only for cancellations. Upgrades will not be penalized. However, I am sure if people frequently upgrade you may be blacklisted.
Someone please correct me if my understanding is wrong and why you think its wrong.
The main people being penalized Is people who sign up with Koodo only to cancel. Loyal customers not so much anymore.

I still understand it as you can't even pay off the tab for 3 months...DonM28020 wrote: ↑ Just a heads up that you dont have to wait 3 months but you will have to pay whatever the "phone credit" is as well as your remaining tab if you cancel. Usually the "phone credit" is the original MSRP-tab.... this makes canceling really not worth it as I am sure you could find that phone for much cheaper elsewhere. I think the only reason to stay with koodo these days is if you have a good monthly rate plan. If you dont then I would recommend lucky mobile for 30 days and then migrate to virgin through their migration deals.
Good to know
You'll need to wait for at least 90 days after purchase before you can pay off your Tab Balance.
To be eligible for the Tab, you’ll need to pass a credit check.
Your monthly Tab charge is rounded up to the nearest dollar. This doesn't increase your device balance. It simply allows you to pay off your Tab sooner than 24 months.

Migration plans aren’t medium tab eligible. There aren’t that many good medium tab eligible plans from Koodo.b31770 wrote: ↑ Thanks OP! I'll wait for a pixel deal at Koodo but there's nothing wrong with this deal.
People need to shut up about the past and deal with the realities. There's no more churning so there's no need to be nostalgic about your previous scamming escapades.
Which other carrier in Canada sells a brand new unlocked S9 for $360? And please leave the time machine bullshit out of it. There's plenty of people with stupid cheap migration plans ($35 or $40) that don't mind upgrading every 24 months and would rather stick with a carrier that hasn't jacked rates up.

I could get a 3GB Zoomer plan for $36/month, a total of $864 over 24 months. Or I could get a Koodo Medium plan for $55/month + $15 for the S9 tab, a total of $1680.redflags10 wrote: ↑ Personally I'm waiting for black friday, but if you need a phone now, looks like a good deal.

Lol med tab plan with 3GB? WTF? Compare similar plans before having this ridiculous calculation...Some of us have $39 Plans with 5 times the data. Find me something similar with zoomer.retrothing wrote: ↑ I could get a 3GB Zoomer plan for $36/month, a total of $864 over 24 months.

That "free" phone will cost me $816.

For some people $0 down + Paying off $360 Med Tab next day is different then $0 down and $360 over 2 years. This way they cant screw Koodo and go with a different carrier + cheap phone. Yes i get the 24 Month commitment, but to us with good Koodo plans it does not matter. I will get a new S10 or S10e cheap this BF/Christmas. I hope the churners who bought several phones from Koodo in the past get nothing from anywhere. They are in the same category like people who downvote every Lenovo thread with good deals because they cant get a $3000 system for next to nothing due to Price error.TheRealSwatson wrote: ↑ How the hell does this have -34. Just because there was a crazy holiday deal last year on the S9 (because no one was buying them) doesnt mean this isnt a good deal...It's a one year old flagship for $0 down total tab value of $360, really pretty reasonable.

A bit of misinformation. They announced a while back that migration plans can upgrade to medium tab now. I literally just confirmed that my $40 8GB plan can upgrade to the S9 medium tab.thedon wrote: ↑ Migration plans aren’t medium tab eligible.

The point people are trying to make is this is tied to a contract the same way all the other companies are. The s9 is free on Fido depending on the plan you take. It’s still not considered a deal because their plans aren’t great.
If this deal over 24 months works out for you then great. Odds are the min $70 a month you will be paying a month for this deal is not as good as buying the phone outright somewhere and finding a similar phone plan elsewhere.

Yeah, I jumped on the Boxing Day S9 deal last year through Walmart. $0 down, Medium Tab. I was already with Koodo, and just called in first to ensure I could keep my plan ($45 @ 10GB).TheRealSwatson wrote: ↑ How the hell does this have -34.

BTW, people thinking they will get a repeat of the S9 and gift card deal but with the S10. GLHF! The S9 deal was insanely lava hot, not a yearly thing. Samsung didnt move any S9's because the design was near identical to the S8. I dont think they will need to move S10's this year.

With that $36 Zoomer (Rogers) plan, I'd be pissed and would also be posting a totally irrelevant comment in a Koodo thread too!retrothing wrote: ↑ I could get a 3GB Zoomer plan for $36/month, a total of $864 over 24 months.
