Conventional phone you get $100-200 off by signing a 3 year contract. With Koodo you get money off the phone, and 10% of you bill goes to pay off the tab you created in getting the phone. So if you get $100 off a Koodo phone, and stick with the $15/month plan, it will take 5 years and 7 months to pay off your tab.
Granted getting out of your "contract" is considerably cheaper; after 1 year it would only cost you $82 as opposed to $400 with a regular phone. That's why I say to be careful.

Also not to mention that Koodo can change their prices anytime they want, and you have no protection, since you don't have a fixed term contract... Being Telus, I fully expect to see some version of a system access fee come out one day...
