    Outbound Calling Name Display Needs UpdatingProposed

    Hi, I would like to suggest that Koodo Mobile updates it’s policy on allowing Koodo subscribers on the same account/under one account to have the ability to change their Outbound Calling Name Display (OCND). This would personalize the service to tailor that user.Some examples of where it can come handy.Parent John Doe gets a plan and line for their kid Joey Doe. Right now, if the Outbound Calling Name Display (OCND) is enabled on the kid’s line, the OCND will display JOHN DOE, and not the kid’s name. This could cause confusion when the kid’s line is being used to make a call, and it still display’s the parent’s name.Another similar example can be applied to a family with multiple members.Parent John Doe gets a plan/line for their kid Joey Doe and spouse Jane Doe. All three lines will display JOHN DOE as the OCND. It will not display JOEY DOE nor JANE DOE as the OCND. This is an example of a three member family. How about a family that is much larger? They will all have the same OCND according to the current Koodo policy.Many kids don’t have the ability to get their own line either because they are too young, or do not have credit to subscribe for their line. So this is another factor in consideration.From my experience, both Rogers & Fido let their customers customize their OCND, as this feature is lacking with both Telus & Koodo.I hope Koodo Mobile will update this feature/policy in the near future.>>>>Outbound Calling Name Display 4 years ago 3 replies 2794 views  +4 Boa_Guy Koodo Koodo Alumni 1333 repliesGreat news! Koodo launched Outbound Calling Name Display (OCND), which enables customers that add the feature to have their account name displayed with their number when they place an outgoing call.What’s changing?Currently, customers are able to see the phone number and name of people calling them, but they are only able to have their number displayed when they place an outgoing call. Customers who wish to display their account name when they call are now able to add the optional Outbound Calling Name Display feature. For more information see our Outbound Calling Name Display help page. <<<<

    Add Australia to Travel PassProposed

    Australia is not included in the Travel Pass countries list.    Under the Easy Roam plan it costs $18/day.   If Canadians are going to Australia it will be most likely for an extended period.   I am going for 2+ months so $18/day for two months is around $1,080!    Going to go the cheaper route and get a sim or esim card.  Way more economical.    Koodo - why is Australia not part of your Travel Pass?

    Koodo appProposed

    This has long been discussed by people wanting koodo to bring back the mobile app that was shut down in 2017 for years I’ve seen people bring it up and I myself have missed the user experience the app brought, it was much smoother and easier to navigate than the “mobile optimized website”  the reason I think it’s time to bring it up again is previously one of the big reasons they said they discontinued it was because of cost and it not making financial sense to pay for both a website and a mobile app. However now koodo does have a mobile app specifically for their internet.  why not have just one koodo app that supports both mobile and internet like you do on the website so you keep cost the same but give a better user experience and let’s be honest it’s kind of weird to be the only Canadian mobile company without a mobile app.

    Include International MMS with International SMS OR Bring Back the Perk for International SMS/MMSProposed

    Current Koodo plans include international SMS but MMS is not included.  The International SMS and MMS perk was removed when koodo plans started to include International SMS again.This means the only way to send international MMS is to pay per use at $0.30 per message.This can get ridiculously expensive.  The recommendation is to incorporate international MMS to international SMS.  Or at the very least, bring back the international SMS & MMS perk. https://www.koodomobile.com/en/payperuse?srsltid=AfmBOoqX2LHeaCrbn0jdjrKxsqn-aDrvwFoTpPeCi8LS_MirNApJb6zk (Note your Easy Roam rates have not been updated)  Here is confirmation that international MMS is only available pay per use.   Here are what plans look like with international SMS only.

    eSim card needs to be an option on new accountsImplemented

    I just switched to Koodo on one of the new promotion plans. I was surprised how seamless it was to port my number from one the Big 3, and it was all done (mostly) online and pretty convenient. However one thing I noticed was lack of eSim options, as well as info around eSim. My phone supports eSim and I used it at my last carrier. When I was creating my account and port# request, I never had an option to try and request an eSim instead of a regular Sim. So I had to spend the $5 on a sim card, when I’d prefer to use eSim. Not only that, I learned later that you can only get eSim’s from instore - which costs $10. And lastly, it took 3 days for my sim card to arrive. That’s not bad shipping time, but still.For a brand that is pushing mostly online activations, wouldn’t it make a lot of sense to have eSim’s available online and as part of new account creations? I wouldn’t even care about the $5 sim card charge if it meant I could pick an eSim option, and have a QR code emailed to me with a few hours and then begin account activation or number transfer. That would be so great! Not to mention it would save on printing on plastic and mail costs too.Hopefully this is a feature that will come to Koodo in the future.

    Implement VoLTE, WiFi Calling, and RCS Capabilities for Non-Koodo DevicesImplemented

    With the upcoming implementation of the 5G network in Canada, features like VoLTE, WiFi calling, and RCS are becoming commonplace and an essential part for many Koodo users. These features are compatible with most Koodo devices. However, non-Koodo or third-party devices (except iPhone) are being left out, resulting in users being unable to use these great features.It is unfortunate that these third-party devices, despite being capable of VoLTE and WiFi calling, are not allowed to use these features on the Koodo network. Using OnePlus as an example, users with OnePlus devices have expressed interest in the implementation of these services. Koodo suggests their users to reach out to OnePlus. At the same time, OnePlus has also told their customers to reach out to the carriers. Numerous carriers in different countries have allowed VoLTE and WiFi calling for their users on third-party devices with much success. So while other carriers have made it happen, why can’t Koodo and other Canadian carriers reach out to OnePlus and other phone manufacturers to collaborate? It is evident that the carriers need to make the first move and push to make it accessible to their users.This blame game needs to end.

    How to fix some glaring issues for Koodo's siteProposed

    First, I am angry. Took me 2 months to log into koodo.I had to crawl through these forums to figure out the issue.Some easy fixes:1 - Koodo, stop sending bill notifications via text when your site is down for maintenance. I think its happened to me 2-3 times and it is atrocious.2 - Allow logins from VPNs. Find a better way to weed out bad actors. The fact that I had to search on these forums to figure out that you hate VPNs was a real kick in the nuts. I had spent 2 months trying to log in, reset password and still not be allowed in. The AI assistant goes in circles. Cannot get a callback without logging in. But cannot log in because it says account is locked. Reset password, account still locked. The error is wrong, it is not that the account is locked, it is that I am behind a VPN. So now I had to figure out that I have a killswitch enabled that I need to turn off along with an advanced kill switch to turn off VPNs so I can appease something you need?3 - Fix your email links. Your password reset email, all the contact us links are 404 errors. You are uncontactable by anyone without an account, and if your account system is broken, then we cannot log in to pay you or contact you. Could not log into the community to post a query. 4 - If you are so concerned about VPNs, add 2FA, if that is not ideal in the event that someone might have the phone, then do a google or MS authenticator.

    Where is the option to enable account-wide 2 Factor authentication?Proposed

    Its 2025 and for some odd reason Koodo still does not have the option to enable account-wide 2 factor authentication. We need the option to enable email and/or third party authentication app (Like Aegis or 2FAS) to receive an authentication code before logging in. Text message authentication is not secure enough because it is prone to sim swap attacks. At a time when SIM swapping is at its peak and accounts are being hijacked, there should be more options to secure our accounts better. This is a basic and standard account security feature now. Stop stalling on this already Koodo.

    Koodo Assist bot is the worse thing ever!  As a hearing impaired/deafened customer trying to order their new phone upgrade online, a call-back from Koodo is NOT AN OPTION!!Bring back the live agents.  PLEASE!I know this is just a community chat and won’t likely reach the powers that be, but if enough people upvote this, just maybe it will draw attention to it and changes will be made for those who rely on the written word.  Thank you.

    Please bring back the Koodo Mobile app.Proposed

    Paying bills was much easier with the mobile app. 8/10 times when I try to pay through the website with Self Serve, the dashboard won’t load my balance, or if it does, it just gives a 500 error trying to proceed to the payment dialogue. Most recently today, I got a text saying I owed a certain amount, then on the dashboard it said I owed half that. After paying that amount it’s showing no balance, even though the text I received suggests I should still owe for another month’s payment.FWIW, I still do owe money I think from last month because after several attempts to pay and not being able to through Self Serve, I probably forgot to try again for the nth time.It’s disappointing that the app is gone, as I never had issues with it compared to this site. It should be much easier to pay for your services (yes I know pre-auth is an option, but not everyone is comfortable with that). Thanks for your consideration.

    Putting Toggle Switch Button for Roaming in Self Serve AccountProposed

    Unexpected roaming charges on bills have been a recurring issue and are becoming a constant problem for Koodo customers who live, travel, or work near the U.S. border.Other Canadian carriers, such as Rogers, Freedom, and Fido, have implemented measures to prevent roaming charges from being charged onto the accounts, whether it is to whitelist certain U.S. cellular towers across the border or adding a toggle switch button to disable all U.S. or international roaming.It would be great if Koodo could do something similar and make it easier for users to choose to stop all roaming charges and putting more strain on the customer service reps to reverse the charges manually.

    teens / data/ turning phones off/ parental controlsProposed

    I find it disappointing that there is no parental controls for our teenage kids through online Koodo account.  I’ve read some questions in the community forum about turning off teens data and I tried to do this with my teen and CANT unless I do it through their phone. Please provide help for parents through online account to be able to easily dismantle certain things such as shut a phone off, freeze an account, turn off data so it can’t be used ect. This would really help with parenting and a teen being grounded or doing school work to be able to control this from our end. At this point my teen is using phone for other content and leaving home. I have shut down their phone 5 times and have to report it as “stolen” via Koodo just to do it ! Come on.. there has to be a better option !!!

    Esim Sales To Current Customers OnlineProposed

    For some time, you have been able to obtain a prepaid eSIM instantly when signing up for a new plan online.  Now I see you you can do the same when obtaining a new post paid plan.  Yet, existing customers are forced to go a Telus store or a Koodo Kiosk,to get an eSIM voucher.  .Why not offer these eSIMs to existing customers through self serve?

    Outage mapProposed

    Hello, In a conversation elsewhere I was wondering if Koodo offered an outage map -- a reply said Koodo doesn’t offer this because it is a third party provider.Interestingly, Primus operates just like Koodo, and they offered this information in the customer portal of their website -- it was so easy to find out if a problem was regional before spending time/energy troubleshooting devices, And, there was only one device (combined modem and router) which further reduced time spent troubleshooting.  I was invited to post this here in the ideas section. Thanks!

    Easy Roam Travel Pass For Continuous Coverage Between PassesProposed

    Love that Koodo now has the Easy Roam travel passes. However, the customer experience would be greatly improved for those of us that plan to use this feature for back to back months of travelling. Please simply just allow us to purchase our next pass BEFORE the current one expires so it is queued up and already on the account waiting for the current one to expire so we are guaranteed continuous coverage.Right now we have to wait for 30 days to pass so that the travel pass expires before we are allowed to add another one—which is stressful and I find myself continuously checking to make sure I counted the 30 days properly. I am also worried about getting charged $16 for roaming on the day the pass expires when I go to text to activate the next travel pass.

    Request for Support with International Calls to IranProposed

    Dear Koodo Customer Support,I hope this message finds you well.Due to the ongoing conflict and severe internet restrictions in Iran, many of us in Canada are struggling to stay in touch with our loved ones back home. These are deeply difficult times, and maintaining communication with family is more important than ever.I kindly ask that Koodo consider offering free or discounted international calls to Iran during this crisis. This would be a meaningful gesture of support to your Iranian-Canadian customers who are extremely concerned for their families' safety and well-being.Thank you for your understanding and compassion. I look forward to your response.Warm regards

    Rate/Review Our PhonesProposed

    It would be nice if there was a feature to give ratings/reviews devices that we order after we’ve been using them for a while.This would be great in allowing customers to express their praise or criticisms of their devices, and, it would be useful for prospective customers (or customers looking to upgrade). Product descriptions written by the manufacturer are all well-and-good, but don’t take place of feedback from actual customers.

    Payments not going through if no email confirmationProposed

    This is more of a reminder to customers to double check they receive a confirmation email after paying the Koodo bill online. Twice I found out a month later that my payment hadn’t gone through & was charged late fees. Now I see I must remember to check for the confirmation email even though the payment interface said it was paid.

    Please carry Punkt phones for us Digital Minimalists!Proposed

    I’d love to see Koodo carry some phone options for the digital minimalists. Personally, my pick would be the Punkt. MP02 4G design and minimalist phone, but there are other options as well. This is a very trendy movement right now, and carrying even one of these phones would definitely draw a crowd.

Happens all the time I finally get you folks to call me back.Get a real appYour mobile app is the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure of using.. Your chat windows magnify on their own everytime you you post a question to the bots.

    PLEASE implement an email ticketing system, hold times are horrendousProposed

    I’ve currently been on hold trying to speak with an agent for over two hours now. We scheduled a technician for today to come to our home to install wiring so that we could set up our Koodo internet and the technician never showed during the scheduled window. Never called, never texted, never emailed, absolutely nothing to indicate they ever showed up. So I used Koodo’s website to schedule a call back regarding this and to set up a new appointment for a technician to come in, and I waited on hold for about half an hour after receiving the scheduled call back to speak someone, just to get a call from Telus, not Koodo, who was just as confused as I was that I got routed to them even though I scheduled the call back through Koodo’s website. They transferred me to Koodo, which we have now been waiting on hold for over an hour and a half waiting to speak to someone. This entire situation is just beyond terrible, and extremely frustrating as a customer that Koodo does not have any kind of email ticketing support system in place, but instead has this community feature for their customers to try and do their job for them. Customers do not have 2+ hours to dedicate to sitting on the phone in order to just speak to someone about an issue that could be resolved in 5 minutes. You guys really need an email ticketing system in place. This has been such a terrible experience I would never recommend Koodo to anyone and would tell everyone to steer clear of Koodo and any of their sister companies.

    LTE Add-on for smartwatchesImplemented

    One can take a brief look at the Kodoo community questions and see a pattern: people love smartwatches and would love to be able to use the LTE versions of their smartwatches on Kodoo, without having to have their smartphones nearby.I propose Kodoo listen to the growing number of people that express such an interest, and make it possible so that LTE smartwatches (regardless of brand) can work to their full capabilities on the Kodoo Network, retaining the same phone numbers we use on our phones and the same plans.I understand there are costs associated with the implementation of such a service, but I am willing to bet a large number of people (myself included) would jump at the opportunity, should it present itself, even for a few extra $ compared to the "competition".Light this post up if you agree.
