I got a new phone from Koodo that came with a new SIM. If I use my old SIM and keep the new one as a backup does it expire?

In the past week or so I’ve had a couple of occurrences where I’m getting a message that my phone (a Samsung A70) has no sim card or it can’t send text messages.  In addition, when I make or receive a phone call the other caller keeps cutting in and out.  They can hear me fine but I can only hear half of what they’re saying.  I’ve tried powering off and back on which seems to temporarily fix the situation but it is happening more frequently.  I’ve also tried removing and reinserting the SIM card but that doesn’t seem to make any difference.   I’m wondering if I might need to replace the SIM card?  The phone was brand new 30 months ago. 

I got a new phone from Koodo that came with a new SIM card. Can I use it on my new phone and still be able to use my old phone with the old SIM, or will it deactivate? Also, if not should I save the new SIM as a backup and just put my old SIM into the new phone?

I have a multi size sim card. If I pop out the nano to use can I later put it back into the micro size to fit into a different phone?

Is there an option to ship or pickup in store?

Hi, I recently moved from Montreal to Vancouver and I transferred from Fizz to Koodo about 12 days ago (I kept the previous phone number). Everything was ok till 2 days ago when I found that I can't call anyone. I tried calling Vancouver numbers, Montreal numbers, my friends, none of them worked and it always says “the call cannot be completed”. Also, I think people can't receive my texts. I can receive incoming calls and text messages.  Please help!

How can I use my IMEI number to confirm that my phone is compatible with the Koodo Network?

My voicemail hasn’t worked for the last several days. Every time I attempt to call it I either get an ‘Error performing request Unknown error’ message or it connects and is completely silent. When it connects and I end the call, I get a call failed message Seems to be the same issue here: 

Hi everyone,This morning I received few calls from different numbers, and considering they are unfamiliar to me I didn't answer. I logged in my account and checked Usage and it says that all calls were outgoing, but I didn't make them, and I didn't answer them at all. I keep account tight and secure, so I know I am not hacked.  Anyone had similar experience. Attached is photo of all outgoing calls and some messages, these numbers were not on my display. Area in black is my phone number. 

Ok so I’ve never “added a line” before so this is new to me.  Just decided that  my daughter is ready for a cell phone so I’ve decided that I’m gonna give her my old iphone 6S to use.  I’m thinking that the simplest way to do this would be to add a new line to my account.Here’s my assumption of how this is going to work.  (I’d appreciate a correction if I’m wrong and additions as far as anything I may have left out.)So I go online and choose a plan for her with the “Bring your own phone” option. So this then means that all I need is a sim card which is shipped to me within 5 business days. This SIM card means that she gets a separate cell phone number which is then activated within minutes of insertion. I’m assuming that this new phone number will show up in the Iphone’s “settings” once the SIM is inserted.  This “additional line” with its accompanying plan and cell phone number is completely separate from MY account and the only

I recently got the promotion plan of 20GB 4G for $60/month.I am using an iPhone 11 Pro but my voice and data is still on LTE. When I go under my cellular data options there is only 3G and LTE as an option.Does anyone know how to get my phone onto the 4G network?

I travelled to Washington state and California in June and just got back from Boston. In all three locations, Easy Roam simply did not work for calling and text. My phone consistently said that it could not connect to a network and I was on a different phone in June than August so I don’t think it was a defect of the phone handset. I’d restart the phone, try connecting manually to a network, and it would never stay connected. Any guidance on how to make Easy Roam work would be helpful. My wife is on Koodo and her phone has no such issues.

- the phone was bought in Africa (Infinix Smart 6)- I no longer have my old phone or sim card, so I bought a new card and used self serve to move my number to the new sim card in the new Infinix phone- it's my first time trying to use a Koodo sim card on the phone, it did not work- I have restarted my phone + removed and reinserted the sim card multiple times - in my settings the sim card is detected as "Telus" not Koodo - my settings say there's no service when the card is inserted - is this happening because Koodo doesn't work on Infinix phones or is there another issue? 

I'm looking to add my husband as an authorized person to my account since his phone # is connected to my account.Do I need to call in to do this? If so, does anyone have the number to call?

Hi. I literally just set up my new number with Koodo earlier, and around 15 minutes later I saw that I missed a call, which is from the same province as I am at. I called back, a lady picked up the phone and said she didn’t call. I double checked the number with her, it was indeed her number but she didn’t call me. Why would this happen? 

I want to have my son's name on his account. How do I change it from my name to his?

Hey everyone,I find that one I'm in a remote area I lose my LTE service, which is as expected, but then my phone goes back to full bars at HSPA however there is no data coming or going.In these scenarios is there a setting that needs to be changed?Thanks,Bashir

I have given my nephew a Koodo phone number - 7056072269.   I am responsible for the payments.  When I try to set up this account on the web (here)  a verification number is sent to his phone and not me to set up the account.   I would like to be able to view this account and pay the bill.

So I became a Koodoo client 2 days ago.The locals told me that Telus is supposed to have the best coverage in the area (Interior BC).The strength of my signal is 0-2 bars.Data speed (when available 5% of time) is 0.24 mbpsMy plan is 10 gb/55$.I rebooted the phone in the last 2 days more that in the previous 4 years with Rogers.I live in downtown of a small tourist town. The reception hardware hasn’t caused me any problems with Rogers except for the areas in the mountains where they don’t have towers.What can be the problem?I feel like I’ve downgraded from Rogers, and am now paying more.

I am a Koodo customer as is one of my brothers.  Our mother transferred her Telus landline number to her Telus mobile.  Phones with Bell and Freedom can phone her but my brother and I just get a message saying it is not in service and 6UC2.  Any ideas?

  Just switched from Android A5 to IPhone SE because I could not charge my Android.   I received a text from Koodo telling me that I need to turn off next gen messaging on my Android but cannot access the Android because it will not charge.   I saw instructions on how to do this online via Google but the service said that I needed to contact Koodoo to have this done.   Can anybody assist here?

I have an iphone 12.  When I go to settings to create a hot spot, it says it cannot and that I should contact Koodo.  As I am sure you are aware, there is no way to speak to someone at Koodo.  Any suggestions?

I was issued a new phone number, activated my new account 24 hours ago and installed the new SIM earlier today after receiving it in the mail. The SIM card matches what is in my self service profile. I continue to see a “No Service” status. Airplane mode is off, Do Not Disturb mode is off, I have removed and re-installed the SIM card, reset my network settings, restarted the phone and still do not have any service on my iPhone SE (2020).  What else have I forgotten to do?  

I'm going away, but want to order a phone while it is on sale. Will they deliver a phone if I'm not there to receive it?  My parents could sign for it, but I wasn't sure if they only deliver to the person who ordered it.  Thanks!
