Good news for Koodo customers who have spare HSDPA phones lying around, as the Canadian carrier today announced that it is now fully supporting HSDPA handsets. Koodo, a value brand owned and operated by Telus, was launched in mid-2008. One of its main selling points is the “Tab” payment system. With the Tab, customers are able to get a new phone at a discounted rate and pay for it in monthly increments. When the balance is paid off, customers start earning a positive balance on their Tab which can be used towards the purchase of a new handset. Koodo didn’t single out any HSDPA devices in its press release, although for now it looks like the only HSDPA phone being offered is the Nokia 3710, which is priced at $25 on a Tab, or $125 outright.

      Way to pay attention, grandma.

    Excellent news. I was wondering when this would take place.

  • Jake

    I wonder if Koodo/Telus higher ups have any limitations in place. Such as restrictions to outside handsets.

      Just checked their pricing. It failed to amaze me in every way.

      $25 for 500MB of data
      $15 for 50minutes + 50 outgoing text.

        Way to miss the silver lining. ($15 for 50 mins is the base plan for building your own personalized plan. try finding anything cheaper if you only need an emergency phone).

        Koodo is supposed to be “fat free mobility”. As in calling and texting, sans the extra stuff that you tend to pay for when all you want is unlimited texting ($5 a month add on at Koodo / $15 a month add on for pretty much every other provider).

        I pay less than $30 a month AFTER taxes and I have never needed more than the “talk and text combo 25″ offers. It may only have 100 daytime minutes, but it includes free nights and weekends (7pm – 8am.. not any of that 9pm – 7am bull), as well as unlimited messaging. Plus there is no system access fee.

        Unbeatable. Koodo FTW

    I agree. Koodo has everyone beat hands down. No other provider will offer an equal base plan. Many people still don’t care about all the extras that waste money and time. If you work all day, then spend the rest of your time living in reality, how could anyone possibly justify spending 2-3 times more for something you don’t need?

    The koodo tab allows you to. Geyt any phone for 150 dollars for free and montthly koodo gives you 10 percent of your bill back to pay off your tab. The nokia is 175 dollars straight out and on the tab 25 dollars.
