Int’l long distance saver addon: is it immediate?

If I use self service to add the International Long Distance addon, is it added immediately?  I.e., can I place a call as soon as I’ve added it at the saver rates?I need to call New Zealand on rare occasions, and it would pay for itself after the first 3 minutes.  But I also go months without needing to call, so I’d rather just add it when needed then cancel.  Does that work? Thanks….  Perry.

Roaming vs Local explained

Firstly I do NOT have EasyRoam while travelling to Mexico from Calgary. Can someone please clarify in each case which would be roaming and which would be local while using my Koodo phone abroad. Making Call/text back to Calgary while in Mexico Making Call/text to Mexican number while in Mexico (same town) Receiving call/text from Calgary while in Mexico Receiving call/text from Mexican number while in MexicoI am under the impression that if I call home to Calgaryfrom Mexico that it would be considered local and I would not incur any roaming/LD charges.

setup sequence

I have 2 phones OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 5 currently on Telus network. I would like to replace the OnePlus 3 with an iPhone 11 on Koodo and transfer my OnePlus 5 to koodo linking them to the same account.Is it better to wait for the iPhone and have it in hand before setting up on Koodo or transfer both  OnePlus phones, port the numbers right away and then just move the one sim card to the iPhone when it appears or does the sim and the iphone  ship together?I am trying to get it right first try 🤔

Phone number is different on my phone vs my account

I ordered a koodo plan online and I was able to get it today. It was approved and shipped last week and I was able to setup my self serve account with the number they gave me before even getting the sim card in the mail. While it was still the long weekend,I changed my number online and it says it should reflect to my sim card automatically so then I received my sim card today but its still showing my original number vs the one listed on my account which was the number I chose. How to fix this?

Completely Turn Data Off

I noticed a few days ago that despite being on my own Wi-Fi, somehow I still used almost 2GB worth of data… This put me eerily close to my limit. Therefore I turned off data on my phone, yet for some reason my data usage is still increasing…How do I completely disable my data to prevent going over the limit until the month resets?

Private caller

Up until recently, I had my number “unlisted”. Why did this change? It affects my business because now I have to deal with calls in front of customers I am in attendance working for… They are not happy when I have to answer call on their dime! Why did Koodo suddenly and without warning change this part of my agreement? There are now several customers out there who think it’s okay for them to call me while I have my hands in a 600V cabinet. It was necessary for me to have a private number.

Just changed my plan to one with more data, I was charges a prorated fee and understood the new plan will take effect immediately. Meaning I should have more data, just looking for clarification.

Charged for the rest of my Tab

I received an email from koodo (yes, their proper email) and phone number giving me a deal for a new phone. I had the option to get a new phone without having to pay the $60 remaining on my tab. I’ve done this before, years ago they offered a similar deal and it worked. But this time I was still charged for the remaining tab. Why?

TOP-UPS NOT WORKING

I have a prepaid plan. Basic stuff, nothing fancy. I pay $25/mo+taxes  (every 30 days which keep shifting my expiration date earlier and earlier), and my current expiration date was SEP-02. I MADE A PAYMENT ON SEP-01, and yet my online account is showing that my account is SUSPENDED,  because of “insufficient funds”, even though my account BALANCE CLEARLY SHOWS $25!!! So I PAID AGAIN on SEP-02, ANOTHER $25, and the system said “suspension lifted” or “account restored” or whatever the message says. But I go back to my account and IT STILL SAYS “SUSPENDED”, and now $50 IS IN MY BALANCE!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????

can't login to prepaid

This afternoon I was able to login to prepaid while away from home.  Trying it from home this evening isn’t working and the automated help is all but useless, e.g. it doesn’t even recognize my phone number and I know it works because I just used it to call my home phone.

How do I know if I have to pay my tab bonus balance when I change my plan?

So my current plan is $45/month for 2gb and right now if I change my plan to the current $45/month plan, i get 3gb a month instead. Would I still have to pay whatever is in the tab bonus balance?

Unable to log into wireless home phone

I’ve had the wireless home phone for about a year now and have had no real issues until now.About 2 weeks ago I no longer got a dial tone.I have connected my handset directly into the Alcatel hub - no change - still no dial tone.The battery is fully charged and I get all the bars lit up for the signal.I have tried logging into the home phone at 192.168.1.1 as per the user guide and am not able to reach it (no response).I have no network issues.I have tried pinging 192.168.1.1 and receive no response.I have a standard network config. My Telus router is located at 192.168.1.254 - so no conflict there and I have no other routers on the network.Any suggestions?

Promotion rainchecks?

Hi There!I’m a former Koodo customer of about 4 or 5 years but left about 3 years ago when I moved to the UK. I’m on my way back at the end of this year and saw that AB has a great deal on right now for unlimited talk/text + 10GB of data for $50. I don’t want to sign up 4 months in advance to capitalize on the offer, but also don’t want to have it be unavailable when I am finally back in Canada. Does Koodo offer any sort of raincheck type system for former customers in these sorts of circumstances?Thanks!Scott

Data is not working

My data stopped working last month. It showed I had used around 150mb of data early in the month and then it plateaued. I couldn’t get any connection of any sort when not connected to wifi.I have a OnePlus 6, just upgraded to a 4gb plan today (still not working), I have removed the sim card and put it back in, reset network settings on my phone, and when I went in to adjust the APN details, it wouldn’t save. Yes, the phone’s data option is turned on. I had the data block set for my limit of 2gb turned on but the data still doesn’t work when that’s turned off either.The APN is likely the problem. I can’t edit the existing one and I cannot add a new one. I have reset it a number of times. The APN says services.koodo.com when the website says it should be sp.koodo.com. There are other discrepancies too. What do I do?Thanks for your time and support in advance.
