Managed to get this to work here in January with OnePlus 2. Was on Bell for around 7 years, and tired of 1 GB data. Rejected at Chinook Centre at both Best Buy Mobile and the Koodo store [as expected]. However, just down the way on the top floor you'll see 'Wow! Mobile Boutique' who sell Koodo plans. I got lucky here, as the employee was fairly new and their co-worker was home sick. Although, they did try to convince me that Sasktel was the way to go, I insisted, and got the deal with no hassle. Used my parent's Saskatchewan address for the sake of ease, and everything worked with absolutely no problems. She even offered to port the number for me, but I had planned to do it at home. Port took around 35 minutes, and voilà!

I have to say: they're definitely catching on. In Best Buy mobile, the salesperson would not proceed without Saskatchewan ID "to keep people from getting Saskatchewan plans in Alberta", and at the Koodo store it was an instant rejection with: "the only place you can get a Saskatchewan number is in Saskatchewan". Your best bet for this method is still talking to the most obscure Koodo-affiliated kiosks possible. Good luck, everyone!
