Issues with Koodo billing


Hello,

I am having several issues with Koodo and unable to get a human to respond to me. I have schedule two call back phone calls, both of which were late and then they called back and I answered there was hold music for about 30 secs and then it was silent for 20 mins as I waited for someone to pick up or connect and eventually had to hang up both times. 

How do you get a human to respond to you at Koodo? Do they always charge you for speaking to a human, even if it is Koodo’s error?

I only switched to Koodo because I was told I would save money and my monthly bill would be cheaper than with Fido do to two monthly discounts: -$5 for auto-payments and -$5 for being a Telus customer. The -$5 for auto-payments has been activated but I am not received the -$5 for being a Telus internet customer and I was told I would for 24 months.

I cannot activate my Telus movie/streaming account either. 

Koodo has zero customer service and now I am stuck paying more fore services than I was promised and unable to access all of the services I am paying for.

Has anyone else had these issues and does anyone have any advise for getting these issues sorted out?

Hi ​@rapteur, like my colleagues mentioned above, you are getting both $5 credits. One is listed as Mthly credit (before tax)* -$5.00 on page 4 of your bill and one is listed as Pre-Authorized Payments Discount -$5.00 on page 5 of your bill. The credits are split between two numbers as you ported in during the past bill cycle so the bill will show both the temporary number and your current number. 

As you’ve already ported in, you will see both credits on your one number next bill. In the meantime, both credits were applied as discussed, they’re just presented differently on this bill.

Hello ​@Flo Koodo,

As stated, the -$5/month for being a Telus customer is NOT included on my bill on page 5. There is a -$5 discount on page 4 (not -$10), for a service that Koodo had to then remove because I never received the sim card and was being charged for phone service I couldn’t even access. The only discount I have on page 5 is for the pre-authorized payments. As stated above in my original post, I was promised -$10 off a month: -$5 for pre-authorized payments AND -$5 for being a Telus customer. This is NOT included on my bill. See page 4 and 5!

I had a call back scheduled for the THIRD TIME today and received the text message but the phone call never came through or connected. My phone never rang and no call showed up until after when I had a voicemail but no missed call. Koodo phone service isn’t working properly.

When I try to subscribe to the Telus film subscription, no errors appear. I click “activate,” it takes me to Telus and signs in, appears to be fine and then I get an email later saying “activate your Telus subscription” and go through the whole process again and again.

How and when can i speak to an actual person and when will I receive my discount. Otherwise I will go back to Fido as I have wasted SO much time in the last two months trying to get Koodo to work properly. Fido uses Rogers cellular network and it is far better than Telus. HUGE disappointment switching to Koodo.

@MilkyWay yes, and every time I click to activate it doesn’t work. I have signed on with my telus info, it won’t save or register that I have activated already.

We understand ​@rapteur 

When you check the invoice on the pages mentioned by ​@Flo Koodo  , you would find the 2 credits, one is named “Mthly credit (before tax) “  , which is the first $5 and the 2’nd one is named “ Pre-Authorized Payments Discount”  totaling $10 /month in credit. I understand it can be confusing due to the phone number change since one credit got the chance to be applied on the old number and the preauthorized payment is on the new number.  

 

In regards to the Telus Film, we would recommend clearing the cache and cookies, restart the browser and test.

Hello ​@Darius Koodo and ​@Flo Koodo, this still doesn’t explain or answer my question. I am being charged for two months billing, and each month received -$5 off, for a total of -$10 over two months, when I should be receiving -$10/month for a total of -$20 over two months. I should be receiving a total of -$10/month, not -$5/month. This bill is for 2 months and therefore should be a total savings of -$20 not -$10. If Koodo can pay people to respond to public messages about person billing, why can’t someone call me and explain over the phone why I am not receiving both discounts for each month? Please correct the bill and explain my billing privately instead of on a public forum. This doesn’t save money it just puts people’s information at risk.

Can you login to your self serve and download your detailed PDF ebill.  Then can you post a screen shot of Page 3 with the details of your charges and credits (make sure to black out any personal info )

@Flo Koodo ​@Darius Koodo  Here is a screenshot -  my $45/month plan is not receiving the -$10/month discount (two -$5 discounts). I should be charged $35/month. This is a huge waste of time and I am very frustrated I switched to end up not saving any money on my bill. I already paid $40/month at Fido.
