It was only recently that I learned that I was a ‘Double Cohort’. You could be too, and not even know it. Actually, according to a recent survey conducted by Best Buy Mobile, only 5% of Canadians are familiar with this term, and of those five per cent, only 31% know what it actually means!
So, what’s a Double Cohort?
Recently a national wireless code was passed, capping phone contracts at two years {instead of three}. The term ‘double cohort’ is the expiration of two-year cell phone agreements in the same year as those with three-year cell phone agreements. This meant an influx in consumers looking to sign contracts and upgrade to new phones, as those with three-year contracts were at the two-year mark.
So, that was me just a few weeks weeks back, it was time to get a new phone and renew my contact. This could be you as well!
Embrace being a Double Cohort!
Now is the time to compare rates and plans from different carriers – and it’s as easy as going into a store, asking questions and assessing the choices in front of you.
With the influx of Canadians now looking for the best phones and plans, Best Buy reached out to find out what’s most important to them:
- More than 75 per cent of Canadians feel it is very important that their mobile retailer has their phone working when they walk out the door.
- Approximately two-thirds of Canadians think it is important that they receive help in setting up their phone to suit their needs.
- Over two-thirds of Canadians feel it’s important that their mobile retailer offers them impartial and informed advice.
To help you make the most of your August, prep for the fall season, AND maximize your roll as a fabulous Double Cohort, Best Buy Mobile wants to help you stay connected.
Stop by Best Buy Mobile for a free consultation to review your phone plan and find out whether you can benefit from the new wireless code that just took effect, and receive a free upgrade!
Best Buy Mobile offers non-partisan advice to help customers choose the best carrier and plan to suit their needs and ensure their phone is fully set up when they walk out the door.
As for myself, I left a wicked grandfather plan and totally regret it. After all was said and done, I stopped into our local Best Buy for some shopping and found myself in the smartphone section {what can I say, shiny tech draws me in!}. In just 5 minutes of casual conversation with a Best Buy employee, I realized how much I lost on my own experience and renewal. From now on I’ll make Best Buy Mobile my go-to, a lesson learned the hard way I guess! So perhaps my dropping of the ball and the information in this post will help you be a better double cohort than I was. Know your options and embrace this time to best suit you!
Disclosure: I was compensated for this post, all opinions are my own.

As for a plan, I would love the most affordable plan for what I use – a few phone calls a month, more texting, and some mobile wireless time for using mobile coupons etc when I am out shopping (that is what I really want the smart phone for, for on the go shopping and checking emails once in a while).
Jackie M says

A great price and reliable service so I don’t get a lot of dropped calls.
Meg A says
For the phone, it’s the features like the basics of making/receiving a phone call. Not all phones are equal. I also listen to music on my phone. I use my phone for planning, shopping, reading, etc. so, I want a phone with enough processing power and memory capacity to get the jopb done. For wireless transfer, bluetooth, NFC and DLNA are built-in to Sony phones, so, I can throw music to my stereo, PlayStation and PC and vice-versa. For the plan, I’m also looking to see if anything out there is worthwhile as my contract expired so, I can go anywhere. But, you are correct in that the phone plan that I have now offers more service than what is available. My provider has been the cheapest among the competition and has provided me with good value. The only problem is that the phone I want is not part of their offering as it is exclusive to the bigger providers like Bell.

Sarah T says
I think the most important thing is the value of what you’re getting for what you pay. Unfortunately, many people don’t understand data and how much they’ll actually use and end up either over paying, but not using the data or not getting enough and paying even more. So important to have good salespeople that truly want to understand what you need.
