Koodo review

Prices start at CAD 40, and Easy Roam reference passes run in fixed terms for the US, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and Mexico, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand, plus a global plan. A daily rate is published for US and international use, so a trip can be paid by the day or by the pass.

Easy Roam reaches from 200 countries under a local, regional and global setup, so you can pick a local, regional or global pass rather than a single market. Coverage in each place depends on the international carrier network, which means speed can vary from country to country.

Unlimited data is not offered. Easy Roam passes draw only on the data included in the monthly plan, and top-ups are available when that allowance runs out. Premium messages sit outside the pass too, and reference terms across its regions start at CAD 40.

No. The fair use policy for Easy Roam passes states they are not available on cruise ships, airplanes or other satellite locations. A multi-country trip booked on local, regional and global passes still needs separate connectivity for the sailing or flying legs.

Koodo is a Canadian network operator based in Canada and run by TELUS Communications Inc. It sells its own mobile plans with 5G and instant activation, then adds Easy Roam passes for travel, so it is a carrier plan with roaming rather than a travel-only eSIM seller.

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can reach the brand by email, phone, a help centre or the community forum. Because Koodo runs its own mobile service, the same channels cover the roaming passes and the underlying plan.

The passes are built for short trip and long trip, so a quick break and a longer holiday are both covered. Fixed reference passes suit trips where the destination and length are known in advance, while the published daily rate suits a shorter or less predictable visit.

Koodo lists 5G and instant activation as features of its own mobile plans, so a pass added to that service activates on the same account. Once abroad, performance follows the international carrier network in each of the from 200 countries reached.
