A tempting deal..

I have been a very happy Koodo mobile customer and have really appreciated paying $64.41 every month for the past however many months since I joined. While I don't have a blackberry, my cell has worked just fine, and even after a few technical difficulties I was having a few weeks back, I shared my great customer service experience with Koodo with readers and was able to receive a new phone after a few calls with some helpful Koodo customer service agents.

Koodo back a few months ago finally added a blackberry curve to their line up of phone options, and while it was super tempting to get one, the cost to purchase the blackberry was just too much. It was going to cost around $150-$200 even with my accrued tab which was around $100). Also, you have to order a data plan for the blackberry- you can get a plan for $10 a month which is just social networking (Facebook, etc) or for $25 you get a full data plan for surfing the net, email, Facebok, social media, etc.
I just saw an ad yesterday morning advertising a $75 discount on all Koodo phones from now until December 31st. I quickly clicked on the link and headed over to the Koodo mobile and surprise, they were in fact offering a discount. The BEST part of this all? I have a $150 tab and the phone is $250 so I would only have to pay a difference of $50!!!!!!
Boy, this has got me excited (hence all of the exclamation marks). But, I must remember that in addition to my current $64.41 monthly phone bill, my bill will now be roughly $90 each month for a grand total of $300 extra per year in phone bills.
So, I am kind of undecided at this point but am quite excited at the possible proposition of a blackberry. I’m leaning more towards purchasing one because I have been longing for a blackberry for SOOOOO long and really do need one, especially when I commute.
I will definitely think this one over before I make a rash decision, but thank you Koodo mobile for the early Christmas present :)

Pin It!
