Wireless provider Koodo is reaching out to some of its customers with special, limited-time offers that provide significantly more data for less money than their standard plans. This includes a particularly strong $40 per month plan offering a generous 70GB of 4G data for those ready to upgrade their phone, alongside various other unadvertised deals.

Key Takeaways:
- Koodo is sending targeted text message offers to existing customers.
- One headline offer is a $40/month plan with 70GB of 4G data when upgrading a phone on the Tab.
- This plan also includes unlimited Canada-wide talk/text and a bonus of three months of Amazon Prime.
- Many other special plans, including those with 5G data, are appearing on individual customer accounts.
- Checking your Koodo account or messages could reveal better deals than those publicly listed.
Unpacking the $40/70GB Phone Upgrade Deal
The most prominent offer spotted is a limited-time loyalty deal sent via text message. For customers who are looking to get a new phone using Koodo’s Tab system (which lets you finance the phone cost over time), this specific plan offers 70GB of 4G data for just $40 per month. This price requires setting up pre-authorized payments directly from your bank account, which is a common way providers offer a small discount.
Besides the hefty data allowance, the plan includes unlimited Canada-wide calling and texting – the standard for most major carrier plans today. An added perk noted in the message is three months of free Amazon Prime, a bonus Koodo has offered periodically in the past.

Getting this deal requires you to either click a special link provided in the text message or visit a Koodo store and show them the message. You’ll need to proceed with selecting a new phone and then choose this specific $40/70GB plan option.
How This Deal Stacks Up
To see just how good this $40/70GB offer is, let’s compare it to Koodo’s publicly available in-market plans for customers getting a new phone on the Tab (these prices also include the $10/month discount for bank payments):
- $50/month for 20GB
- $55/month for 60GB
- $70/month for 80GB
The $40/70GB text offer provides significantly more data (70GB vs 20GB) for $10 less per month than the base $50/20GB plan. It also gives you 10GB more data than the $55/60GB plan, while being $15 cheaper! It’s clearly a much better value if you receive the offer and were planning on upgrading your phone anyway.
Other Special Offers Appearing
Beyond the headline $40/70GB deal, it appears Koodo is offering various other targeted promotions. While looking into the upgrade deal, a pop-up on Koodo’s website highlighted another “limited time” offer: a $40/month plan with 60GB of data specifically for customers adding a new line (this included discounts for bank payments and a 24-month credit).
More broadly, many existing Koodo customers may find a range of unadvertised special plans available simply by checking their account online. One example showed several options, including:
- $29/month for 20GB (4G)
- $34/month for 30GB (4G)
- $39/month for 50GB (4G)
- $44/month for 60GB (4G)
- $49/month for 80GB (4G)
- $55/month for 100GB (5G)
- $60/month for 100GB (5G with Canada/U.S. roaming)
- $65/month for 120GB (5G with Canada/U.S. roaming)

Some of these special plans are excellent value compared to Koodo’s standard offerings. For instance, the $49/80GB and $55/100GB (5G) plans look quite competitive when compared to the regular $55/80GB plan. Others, like the $39/50GB or $44/60GB, seem less impressive when Koodo publicly offers $40/60GB, highlighting the need to compare carefully even among the special offers.
The Takeaway: Check Your Account!
The big message here is that Koodo is actively pushing out better-than-advertised deals directly to its existing customer base, either through text messages or by listing them as “special offers” on individual online accounts. If you’re a Koodo customer, especially if you’re considering upgrading your phone or feel you’re paying too much for your current data allowance, it’s definitely worth logging into your account or keeping an eye on texts from Koodo. You might find a hidden deal that saves you money and gives you more data.
