Note 9 and 3G?

Hi - I got a text saying my phone (Samsung Note 9) will not work with US partners after July 1st. This phone is 4G / LTE  so why did I receive this text?

More on end of 3G service.

HiSeems the shutdown by the US of 3G service effective 1 July 2022, has been news since February of 2022. Any reason why some are just hearing about this now?  Just 3 days before Canada Day? Someone trying to start a run on the purchase of 4G or 5G phones?From what I understand if I stay with 3G I will be able to communicate with my fellow Canadians. Just so happens my Koodo number has popped up on an American real estate call list. They think I live in Georgia, USA. So I have been getting calls and texts from all over the States for over 6 years! If I stay on 3G in Canada, will this block all incoming US calls and texts to my phone? Furthermore if these bad actors are working from another country and using spoofed US numbers, will my 3G phone still get these texts and calls?See. Sometimes problems can be more involved than computer chat bots can handle. Communications is a mildly complicated human interaction. Has been since the dawn of time. Koodo should shelve the chat bot and hire

My phone support 4G LTE but not VoLTE, am I able to roam in US after 1st July 2022?

This morning I received a message from Koodo:  You are currently using a 3G phone that connects to 3G networks. This means you’ll no longer be able to use data, text or make phone calls- including 911 when roming in the U.S.But I am pretty sure that my mobile supports 4G LTE, it is just not supporting VoLTE (because I can’t see such option in the data network setting, and my mobile model is also not in the VoLTE list).And what is mentioned in koodo webiste: https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/3gshutdownUSis confusing, from the information provided there I am not sure if I can roam in US with 4G LTE but without VoLTE.  Does any body know the answer? Thanks

What's the difference between 4G and 4G LTE?

I was looking to upgrade plans and one is 20GBs at 4G LTE speed and another is 20GBs at 4G speed, I asked a rep over the phone and she didn’t sound like she knew, just said that they’re “pretty much the same”, obviously if they’re giving you the option between 1 or the other then there is a difference, is one better than the other?

Currently on prepaid can I switch to postpaid when I'm not in currently in Canada?

So I made a mistake of adding roaming boosters on my prepaid account and then found out that I couldn’t even use it since it’s only available in Canada and USA (only found out when I got to my destination), so now I don’t really know what options I have for either converting to postpaid or something since I need my number to be able to do my online banking since they don’t send 2FA on like an email or an app authenticator p.s. it’ll be awhile before I get back into Canada

Forwarding to my phone says "blocked"

I recently started volunteering at a crisis line. During out shifts calls are forwarded to our phone numbers via a private line. Callers call a public number, select 1 to access the crisis line, and then are patched through to us. However when I am on call the calls are blocked - it says "Sorry the line is busy" even though I'm not on the phone on my end.  How can I solve this problem?

Receiving messages abroad

Hi,I am on a Koodo Plan for Canada, but I will visit Turkey soon. I was wondering whether it is possible for me to receive SMS messages from Canada when I am there.I am not planning to use my Koodo Sim Card actively when I am there. So, I do not want to pay daily for some extra international service for weeks, but I will definitely need to receive messages for connecting to some of my online accounts for dual authentication. Would you be so kind as to inform me about this? Thank you very much. Best,

How do I register for Self Service if there is no email on the profile?

I am trying to help my mother who uses a flip phone and has no computer to use Koodo Assist. I don’t think there is an email address on her account (because she doesn’t have one) so I cannot login to request a call from a representative. She has a billing issue that she needs to talk to someone about. How can I arrange a call with a representative if Koodo Assist cannot be accessed?

Help - no coverage in Europe

Hi, I’m travelling through Europe and have no coverage at all “no service”. Previously when I travelled I’d always get messages  ‘Welcome to Country. The name of the carrier (e.g. T-Mobile) and the rates’ and could use the phone as is. This time when arriving to Germany nothing, transferring to Spain, nothing.The only difference is that previously I had Samsung and now Apple 12 - same sim card. I did all the IPhone troubleshooting (restarting, replacing simcard, resetting network settings but nothing works. It possible that it’s blocked by Koodo but I have no way of contacting them as they only way I was able to get to is a call-back which isn’t an option since I have no coverage.I have wifi and whatsapp.How can I get in touch with a Koodo rep? PS. the airplane mode is also disabled Thanks!
