Affordable Prepaid Plans for Black Friday shoppers
This year, Canadian carriers have not impressed wiht their Black Friday offers. However, if you’re searching for an affordable mobile plan that provides a good amount of data, it’s time to consider prepaid options.
Chatr Mobile's $29/25GB offer Returns
Chatr Mobile, a prepaid brand owned by Rogers, has reintroduced its popular $29 for 25GB Black Friday deal from 2024. This isn’t the only $29 plan available; Bell’s Lucky Mobile and Koodo, which is owned by Telus, are also offering similar deals.
Details of Chatr's Plan
The Chatr plan features 20GB of 4G data along with an additional 5GB bonus for customers who opt into automatic payments.It also includes unlimited calling across Canada. For texting needs, users receive unlimited incoming messages and can send up to 2,000 outgoing texts to numbers in Canada and the U.S., as well as international destinations.
A Shift in Texting Features
The most notable change in this year's offer compared to last year is the texting policy. Earlier this year, chatr removed unlimited texting from its plans, reflecting a trend among rogers-owned brands to cut back on common features in order to boost profits. We saw something similar when Fido started charging extra for hotspot access.
If you can overlook these changes regarding texting limits, Chatr’s current offer remains quite appealing. However, if sending texts is crucial for you, it might be wise to explore other options available on the market.
Lucky Mobile's Competitive Offering
Lucky Mobile’s plan, closely mirrors Chatr's deal by providing 20GB of 4G data plus a bonus of another 5GB when customers enroll in autopay. Unlike Chatr though, Lucky includes both unlimited Canada-wide calling and international texting without any restrictions.
Koodo's Similar Plan Options
Koodo’s prepaid option also matches Lucky and chatr with its offering of 20GB of standard data along with an additional bonus of 5GB through autopay enrollment. Like Lucky Mobile’s service package,Koodo provides unlimited calls within Canada as well as unrestricted international text messaging capabilities. The choice between Koodo or Lucky may come down to which provider offers better coverage where you live—Telus or Bell.
A Great Deal Amidst Limited Options
The $29 price point for a solid data package stands out among this year's Black Friday promotions. Finding decent mobile plans under $30 per month can be challenging in Canada; thus when such deals appear they are often worth considering seriously. Unfortunately though there is no clear end date listed for these specific offers—though all providers indicate that other Black Friday promotions will conclude on December 1st—it seems likely that this particular deal will vanish around then too.
Your Best Bet: Wait Until Black friday?
If you're contemplating whether it's best to wait until actual Black Friday arrives before making your decision about these plans—it could be worthwhile! If nothing more enticing comes up during that time frame then opting into one of these $29 packages should serve most users just fine!
