[Koodo] Google Pixel 10 128GB $1/month with effectively $50 plan, Activation Fee Waived

My current term is up and I do not want to do the whole dance around getting a new phone. I requested a callback, then was offered the default online renewal offer by the rep. I asked to be connected to retention.

We kept doing the math across 2 years as we were talking and throwing numbers around. Went from $16.67/month of the phone to $8.33/month after I mentioned the $200 GC from the Best Buy offer to match that, then I kept asking of ways to have a lower plan and looking at BYOD plans.

So she offered me the Pixel 10 128 GB in blue for $1/month, but here is the kicker: not as a separate discount on my monthly bill. It is permanently reduced on the Phone Tab I pay every month, while my Tab Bonus stayed the same as if I paid $16.67/month. So If I were to cancel my contract tomorrow, the phone would cost me $848.12 + $24 I assume. Which is roughly in line with buying the phone unlocked/no contract.

So my cost across 2 years is:
– $50 x 24 + $24 for the phone & activation fee refunded = $1224
– Just an hour on the phone, didn’t even need to leave my home and jump into the BF craziness

Current Alternatives would be:
– $25*24 for public mobile with 8GB 4G and no perks + $850 to buy the phone outright during BF = $1450

My plan is:
$50/40GB 5G data ($60- $10 bank payment rebate), free LD package to 27 countries + a free Perk. Yes, I realize thats not a lot of data compared to other plans, but I use literally 10% of that every month.

And, in a few months I will call to find a way to reduce my monthly bill, something I managed to with my past two contract terms – as there are no explicit separate, plan specific discounts that would be lost.

And, if for some reason, the Pixel 10 gets discounted to $0/month during the return window, they will honor that as well as they did the same with my Pixel 8 2 years ago.
