Canada’s flanker brands just dropped a wave of flash sales. If you’ve been waiting for a strong bring-your-own-phone deal (especially one that includes Canada–US–Mexico roaming), the next few days are worth paying attention to, as these promos tend to disappear fast or quietly change.
Below is a breakdown of the most notable flash-sale plans that were either released today (January 30, 2026) and are expected to run only for the next few days, or are comparable to some of the flash sales. The plan details and pricing in this post are based on the offers shown in the attached screenshots, so always confirm final pricing and eligibility at checkout in your province.
Koodo flash sale: $27.50 for 60GB, or $35 for Canada–US–Mexico roaming (both at 5G speed)
Koodo’s promo is one of the most aggressive price-per-gig offers we’ve seen this year so far.
Koodo $27.50/month: 60GB at 5G speed (Canada-only)
This is the simple “cheap big data” play:
- 60GB of data at 5G speed
- Unlimited Canada-wide minutes
- Unlimited international SMS
- Pick 1 free perk (the promo mentions options like 3-Day Easy Roam International)
- The pricing shown indicates it includes stacked discounts (including an auto-pay-by-bank-account discount)
Who it’s best for:
- You want a lot of data in Canada and don’t care about US/Mexico roaming
- You’re price-sensitive and mostly use Wi-Fi, but want enough data for hotspotting or heavy streaming on the go
Koodo $35/month: 60GB at 5G speed with Canada–US–Mexico roaming
This version keeps the same data bucket but adds the travel-friendly feature:
- Canada–US–Mexico roaming with data, talk, and texts
- Unlimited international SMS
- Pick 1 free perk
- Discounting is also shown as dependent on auto-pay by bank account
Who it’s best for:
- You travel to the US or Mexico even a couple times a year and want to stop thinking about roaming add-ons
- You’d rather pay a bit more for “it just works” roaming than deal hunting before each trip
What to watch with Koodo:
- Flash pricing often depends on auto-pay setup and sometimes specific payment methods (the screenshot references bank account auto-pay).
Chatr flash sale: $25/month for 60GB (set up as a bonus structure)
Chatr’s promo is the most eye-catching number in this roundup: $25/month for 60GB.
From the screenshot:
- $25/month for 60GB
- Includes 5GB bonus with Auto-Pay
- Unlimited Canada-wide talk
- Unlimited Canada, US and international text
- Unlimited incoming texts
- Voicemail Banner note: “New! 35GB bonus included for 24 months” and “Limited-time offer until Feb 2, 2026”
How to interpret this plan: This looks like a plan where the headline data amount is made possible by bonus data that may be time-limited (the screenshot shows a 24-month bonus). In practice, that means you should confirm:
- What the “base” data is vs. “bonus” data
- Whether bonus data expires after 24 months (and what your plan reverts to afterward)
Who it’s best for:
- You want the absolute lowest monthly cost for a big data number
- You’re okay with prepaid-style account management and staying on top of promos/bonus terms
- You mostly need Canada data and texting flexibility
What to watch with Chatr:
- Bonus data structures will likely change after the promo period ends.
Fido flash sale: $49/month for 60GB with Canada–US–Mexico roaming (BYOP, 4G LTE speeds)
Fido’s offer targets travelers who want roaming included, but it’s positioned at a higher price point than Public Mobile’s and Koodo's roaming plan.
From the screenshot:
- $49/month for 60GB (shown discounted from $54/month)
- Canada–US–Mexico roaming (data, calling, and texts)
- 60GB at 4G LTE speeds
- 1000 international texts
- “Plan after $5.00 automatic payments discount” language is shown
Who it’s best for:
- You want roaming included and you’re comfortable on Rogers’ ecosystem
- You prefer the feel of a traditional carrier checkout and support experience
- You’re fine with 4G/LTE speed tiers (which is still plenty for streaming, maps, and hotspot use for most people. Note that it doesn't look like hotspot access is included in this plan)
What to watch with Fido:
- The price shown appears tied to automatic payment discounts. Fido does allow for a credit card to be used for an auto-pay discount though, unlike some other carriers.
Public Mobile flash sale: $35–$60/month (30GB to 100GB), with strong Canada–US–Mexico options
Public Mobile’s grid is the “choose your size” option in this lineup, with both Canada-only and Canada–US–Mexico plans at different data tiers. These are also 5G-speed plans.
From the screenshot:
- $35/month Canada-wide: 30GB at 5G speed
- $40/month Canada–US–Mexico: 60GB at 5G speed
- $50/month Canada–US–Mexico: 80GB at 5G speed
- $60/month Canada–US–Mexico: 100GB at 5G speed
- Each plan includes unlimited talk & text
- Each plan advertises 2% back in Public Points
Who it’s best for:
- You want Canada–US–Mexico roaming at a lower price than the typical $45–$60 travel-plan range
- You like the idea of small ongoing rewards (Public Points) and a more self-serve style experience
- You want the flexibility to pick the exact data tier that matches how you actually use your phone
What to watch with Public Mobile:
- Always confirm the roaming terms (included countries, fair use, and any restrictions) before relying on it for a long trip.
- If you’re switching from a postpaid plan, understand how billing cycles and account setup differ.
How to choose the right deal
If you’re deciding quickly (which is often necessary with flash sales), use this shortcut:
- Choose Koodo $27.50/60GB if you want Canada-only value and like the perk-style extras.
- Choose Chatr $25/60GB if your number-one goal is the lowest monthly price and you’re okay with promo bonus terms and prepaid-style management.
- Choose Koodo $35/60GB CAN–US–MEX if you want roaming included at the lowest price in this roundup (and you like self-serve).
- Choose Fido $49/60GB CAN–US–MEX if you want roaming included on a more traditional flanker-carrier experience and don’t mind LTE speed tiers.
Final reminder: flash sales are all about the fine print
These promos are genuinely strong, but the best value depends on your real usage:
- If you never leave Canada, don’t pay extra for roaming you won’t use.
- If you travel even a couple times per year, a roaming-included plan can beat buying add-ons.
- Confirm whether the advertised data includes temporary bonus data, and what happens after the promo period ends.
