Koodo prepaid plans: what they include, what roaming costs, and how to get the eSIM

What Koodo prepaid plans were listed on 10 November 2026?

Koodo sells two kinds of plan: Koodo Prepaid, with no contract and no credit check, and monthly postpaid plans. Koodo is a TELUS brand; TELUS describes Koodo Mobile in its annual report as its national postpaid and prepaid provider, and Koodo Prepaid SIM orders finish on TELUS.com. Our TELUS guide covers the parent network.

These were the 4G base plans on Koodo's prepaid page when we read it. Every plan renews every 30 days and includes unlimited Canada-wide calling and unlimited international text and picture messaging.

Koodo's footnote says the extra data with Automatic Top-up recurs every 30 days while Automatic Top-up stays on, and it does not roll over.

Koodo also listed two 365-day plans: $100 a year for 400 Canada-wide minutes and 400 texts, and $159 a year for unlimited Canada-wide calling with 40GB of 4G data given up front for the whole year. The $159 plan was for new activations only.

This is desk research from Koodo's own pages. We have not bought or tested a Koodo plan.

Koodo prepaid add-ons: data, talk and US roaming

Koodo Prepaid add-ons are bought in Self Serve. On 10 November 2026 they were:

Canada-wide data

• $5 for 200MB
• $15 for 3GB

Canada-wide talk

• $10 for 300 minutes
• $20 for 1
• 000 minutes

US roaming

$15 for 1GB of US roaming data, $15 for an unlimited US talk and text bundle, or $25 for 3GB of US roaming data plus unlimited US talk and text

Long distance

$15 bundles for 150 minutes, or 300 minutes to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, or to China and Hong Kong; $10 for 10,000 US long distance minutes

The prepaid page lists US roaming add-ons only. We did not find a prepaid roaming option for Europe, Asia or anywhere else on that page, so treat Koodo Prepaid as a US-only roaming product.

Koodo plans: monthly prices on 10 November 2026

Koodo's bring-your-own-phone page listed these monthly plans. Most were marked Promotion, with the price shown after $10 a month of discounts that include paying by automatic bank withdrawal. No end date for the promotions was shown.

Starter plans without the promotion ran from $15 for 250MB at 3G speed to $37.50 for 2GB at 4G. Mobility plans come with a free Pick Your Perk feature, and one of the listed options was a 3-Day Easy Roam International. The Canada-US-Mexico plan includes data, talk and text in all three countries plus two years of unlimited international calling to 27 countries. Koodo's footnotes give data as Shock-Free, meaning it stops or slows rather than charging overage.

Koodo international roaming: Easy Roam and Travel Passes

Monthly Koodo customers can use Easy Roam, a daily charge that lets you use your plan's data with talk and text abroad. On 10 November 2026 it was $16 a day in the US and $18 a day in 200+ international destinations, charged only on days you make or answer a call, send a text or use data.

Koodo's Easy Roam Travel Passes, added in Self Serve or by text:

Each pass includes unlimited calls and texts and uses your plan's data. These are Koodo roaming plans for monthly customers; the prepaid page offers only the US add-ons above.

Does Koodo have eSIM, and how do you get a Koodo prepaid SIM?

Yes, on both sides. Koodo Prepaid's page said that for a limited time the prepaid eSIM was $0, bought and activated through Koodo's web portal by scanning a QR code; no end date was shown. A physical prepaid SIM is bought online, with checkout on TELUS.com, or in store. On monthly plans, Koodo says an eSIM activates within minutes on a compatible phone, or a physical SIM ships in 5 to 10 business days with a $15 SIM purchase required.

Koodo BYOD plans or prepaid: which suits a traveller?

If you live in Canada and travel mainly to the US, the $55 Canada-US-Mexico monthly plan removes roaming costs altogether. If you prefer prepaid, add the $25 US bundle (3GB) for a trip. If you travel beyond North America, a monthly plan gets you Easy Roam and the regional passes; prepaid does not. For a visitor to Canada, Koodo Prepaid's $35 plan with 30GB and a free eSIM is a reasonable pick, and our cheap SIM card guide for Canada compares it with the other prepaid brands.

When is a travel eSIM cheaper than Koodo roaming?

For data-only trips, usually. Seven days in the US on Easy Roam is $112, and the USA 7-day pass is $40. Our verified US eSIM prices, read on each seller's site in August 2026 and quoted in US dollars, were Airalo at $21.50 for 10GB over 7 days, Saily at $22.99 for 10GB over 30 days and Nomad at $25 for 10GB over 30 days. For two weeks in Japan, Nomad listed 10GB over 30 days at $16 and Airalo 10GB over 15 days at $17.50, against $70 for Koodo's Asia 14-day pass. The pass is still the better choice if you need your Koodo number for calls. See our cheapest eSIM table for more countries.
