Just recently, I’ve switched to Koodo. Although they don’t have as many phone selections, it wasn’t a big deal. The tab seems like a great idea because although it doesn’t say it’s a contract, it does make it easier to get out of one. So, with a $150 tab, let’s say every year they take out $50, which means that to finish the tab, you would have to hold on to the same phone for about 3 years. If not, you pay to get a new phone.

I decided to add $5 voicemail, $5 caller ID, and $10 top-5 favorites for unlimited text messaging and calling. On top of that the $25 talk and text, my bill with tax comes to $50 a month. With that, I am saving myself $50 every month which is incredible especially when it comes to phones.

The down side is, as of today, I’ve had terrible reception. I couldn’t make outgoing calls and when I received a call, I couldn’t hear the person on the other side. When they called again later, I could barely hear him – his voice was lower than a whisper. No idea how to fix it, but I’m guessing the reception just sucks, period.

I’m thinking of getting the new 25 dollar plan that has:
100 anytime minutes
unlimited messaging
unlimited 7 pm evenings and weekends
Includes Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Conference Calling, 911 and Per-Second Billin

I know with taxes it comes out to around 28 dollars but are they’re any other fees?
