    My old 6 did as well. Wonder what’s different with the 8? Literally the second I initiate a call it drops to 3G, even though I may have full bars of LTE.

    My iPhone X on Koodo (Telus) does that.
    Make sure you're VoLTE is turned on and log into your Koodo account and confirm you have the VoLTE add on. If not you can call to have them add it as long as you have a phone that supports VoLTE.

    ^yup, voLTE or voice over LTE is sort of new tech, LTE used to be data only, hence th phone going to 3G for a phone call. under settings on iphone, cellular data options, enable LTE should be on voice and data, with the add on as said above.

    How much does this matter? I can't imagine 1) being on voice calls for a significant portion of the day and 2) needing fast download speeds while I am.

    Force your phone to 3G and see just how slow some websites and shit load. Where I really find that it sucks is if I’m on a call, and I need to access maps or something at the same time. Maps use a lot of data, so it takes ages to download something while on a call and having it go to 3G.

    Yep I noticed mine went up $5 last billing cycle from Rogers. Frustrating but still close to half the price I was paying for similar before this.

    My plan 4gb plan with virgin mobile was $50 last year then went up $5 in the summer and is now going up $5 again in April. So great. I like the plan though since it has unlimited calling so I can use the US roaming feature...but that has now increased to $8/day as well

    Activated the first SIM on Public mobile with @D'z Nutz referral. Thanks bro. Will be nice paying roughly half price for the cell service. Assuming no issues I'll be swapping my wife over in a couple of days.
    Will report back on how much I love the 3g speeds too. I'm near WiFi for a lot of my day, so I don't anticipate any issues.

    Awesome man. Yeah, 3G speeds work just fine enough for me, but then again I only text and read the news on my phone and very little else. And like you said, I'm near Wifi enough that I don't need to worry about it.

    Tested out the so-called 3g speeds and its been fine. Loaded a chive gallery webpage of 27 photos and it felt as fast as my home wifi or the previous 4g speeds through Telus. So that's pretty nice.

    Have both myself and my wife up and running and the changeover was flawless. They've extended the $25 referral credit until March 31 too. So if anyone wants to check this out, let me know.

    With the referral credits we are getting our first month free, and even at full price we are $70 for two phones, unlimited talk and text and more data than we'll need. What a deal.

    Just checked, and yep Bell went up 5 bucks on my plan. Now $65/month for the 10gb deal I've had since Dec 2017. I've ordered a couple parts to fix up my now 3 year old S7 and keep it going for another year or two. The longer I can keep this plan the better. Their deals on new phones suck balls. Even to just go to an S8 they want me on like a $105/month plan.

    Koodo has been great. 49$ for 6gb unlimited plan and they sent us text offers for 15$ for 10gb extra addons last month. So now at 64$ for 16gb plan.

    No, it's only available to Public Mobile subscribers. But it comes up enough that you could sign up with Public and wait for the next promo.

    That is a great deal! Koodo tried to sell me on $75 for 15GB which now looks like a piece of shit. That said, this is the first time ever that I hit the 10Gb cap. Had to go through 2 days of not having data while away from Wifi, which was surprisingly a large pain in the ass lol
