Koodo Mobile Introduces HSPA Phones

Canada's back-to-basics mobile provider adds HSPA phones to meet evolving customer communication needs

TORONTO, June 28 /CNW/ - Koodo Mobile, Canada's decidedly different, pay for what you need wireless company, officially introduces its national HSPA phone lineup starting today. The addition of HSPA phones will support changing consumer needs when it comes to wireless communication.

"Koodo has always been focused on communication essentials such as talk and text. Online social media has become a communication essential for many of our customers and the addition of HSPA phones ensures our customers will continue to get great connectivity with sites such as Facebook and Twitter," says Kevin Banderk, Chief Koodo Officer. "HSPA will also give Koodo customers the ability to travel internationally with their phone and broaden the choice of handsets we can offer consumers."

The addition of HSPA phones will allow Koodo customers with a SIM card equipped handset to use their phone in over 200 countries. Over the coming months, Koodo will launch several exciting HSPA phones that will offer exceptional value and social media connectivity. Customers looking to purchase a HSPA phone will be able to put a portion of the purchase price on the Koodo Tab. Unique to Koodo Mobile, the Tab is an alternative to fixed-term contracts that allows customers to put up to $150 of a phone's price on their Tab. Ten per cent of each monthly bill is then credited to the Tab. If the customer decides to terminate their plan, they simply pay off the Tab.
