Will thr Xiaomi 14 Ultra work on Koodo's network?

I am looking at purchasing an unlocked Xiaomi 14 Ultra but before I did, I wanted to make sure it would work on the Koodo network. A quick search on kimovil says 2/3 of the 5G bands are compatible and 3/4 of the 4G bands are. This leads me to think it would be. I wanted to double check whether the phone would be supported but also see if anyone has this phone and how they like it so far.

why does koodo only offer $0 down phones for new customers?

I am an existing customer and looking to upgrade my cell phone. When I go and look for phones there are none that are $0 down. When I don't sign into my account, almost every phone is $0 down. I am really noticing that koodo doesn't care about their existing customers.

auto calls going to landline not cell

I am trying to track down a strange phenomenon. There are 4 adults that live in this household. Amongst us we use 3 cell phones through Koodo and when moving our internet from Shaw also moved the "landline" phone to TekSavvy. A few times now we have received calls from businesses on the landline that say their phone systems are showing our landline number on their phones when they receive a call from one of our cell phones. For my doctor's office - I had them remove the landline from their database but their automated reminder call was made to the landline number - although the receptionist says they do not have that number anywhere on their records for me. I am also asking Teksavvy if they know what is happening - we'd really like to correct this problem. Thank you!

Return webstore order

Hi, I recently purchased a Pixel 8 Pro via the webstore and would like to return it. I am within my 30 day policy The phone has been used for voice and data. However, there are issues with the wireless and data connection on the phone. I have other devices with Koodo that do not exhibit the same behavior. Google is not helpful and I don't want to return the phone for repair with Google, to be provided with a reconditioned unit. It continually drops from data/wifi networks. Inside and outside my home. I work with my local ISP. I'm familiar with troubleshooting and have never encountered anything as vexing as this phone. I have a family plan with Koodo - 3 other mobile phones. The Pixel 8 Pro is the only one to continually drop. Please advise on the options available to me and how to return the device. Thank you,

zte phone weird beeping tones

Very recently, over the past couple of weeks, I've noticed that very often when someone calls me on the ZTe mobile landline unit I get three tones being repeatedly played throughout the call. I end up having to hang up and call the person back. I am not sure why this is happening and wondered if anyone has had this and what the solution for this problem is. Thanks for any ideas

I was charged a one year subscription for Amazon Prime after paying for Stream +

Hi there, On May 7, 2024 I paid for Stream + and a charge of approximately 36.00$ was put onto my credit card. On May 14th, I received an email from Koodo saying I haven’t yet activated my Prime account so I activated it. I was then charged a 1 year subscription for Amazon Prime on May 14th for approximately 110.00$ (on top of what I was charged on May 7). I contacted Koodo via a phone call on May 17th to talk about the charge, and they couldn’t refund me and suggested I contact Amazon. On the same day, I called Amazon and they tried to refund me the money, but the refund never showed up on my credit card. I called Amazon again at the end of May, as well as on June 4. Both times, Amazon tried to refund me the money. Finally, on June 10, I talked with an Amazon rep again and they said they can’t refund me the money because it’s Koodo who has subscribed to the plan, and it is managed by them. I then called Koodo again, and they said they can’t refund me the money because it’s Amazon. I k

My phone has dialed emergency services twice in the last couple of months

Of course the police called me back to ask if I needed assistance and gave me crap for tying up a 911 line but...I never dialed them. My phone says that I rapidly pressed the side button 5 times but I did not. Also Siri frequently gets activated for no reason. I’ve had my phone for 2.5 years and have only started having these issues the last couple of months.

Im ordering a new phone and changing the plan with it. Will my current, old phone stay active while I wait for the new one to be delivered? Or once the new one is activated, will I have a window of no phone?

Unable to Activate Visual Voicemail in the Android Phone App

I migrated a Pixel 4a and a Pixel 7 to Koodo on May 8th. I added Premium Voicemnail as a feature following https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/visual-voicemail and successfully tested it - I get voicemails delivered as audio files via MMS. However, I cannot access the list of voicemails that should be available via the Android Phone app under Voicemail On both devices, I get “Can’t activate visual voicemail”. If I click on “Retry”, I get "Activating visual voicemail" with something about Syncing and then get “Can’t activate ...” again. Under Phone / Settings / Voicemail, “Change PIN” is greyed out because “Visual voicemail is not activated yet, please try again later.” I have tried clearing the Phone cache without success. Are there special requirements for this Android Phone feature? I can clear the messages by calling the Voicemail number but it would be great to manage voicemails via the Android Phone app.

Why Is My Koodo Internet "Updating" Every Day?

Every single day, my koodo internet "updates" for countless hours. According to the troubleshooting page, when the LAN is blinking green, that means the internet is updating, why does it take so long? It says not to touch it so I don't but then it takes forever and hours later I end up unplugging it and plugging it back in when I get frustrated. I'm tired of not having internet all night/morning and I'm genuinely considering switching providers because of this. Does it have to update every night? Can it not just work after its done? I don't understand. And why don't they have a number we can call? Just ridiculous

Block number that goes direct to voicemail

Is there a way to stop a nuisance call that goes direct to voicemail? I suspect I may have blocked the caller, and now I have to clear a message from the same number on a daily basis. So frustrating.

(I think) I have wifi but no internet

I just got the Koodo wifi with the modem and wifi router 6 and set it all up according to the setup email I got from koodo. I waited till the activation date (today, May 20) but once everything was connected the light on the router turned red. I’ve tried plugging out and in a few times (waiting the 30 sec in between as recommended) and it still doesn’t work. I’ve factory reset both the modem and router but still a red light. But when I go to my wifi settings on my phone I see my wifi and I get connected but it says no internet connection. I’ve looked online and it seems none has ever had this problem and I’ve tried the ai chat on koodo but nothing and I can’t get someone to call me from koodo because it’s a holiday today. I don’t know what to do or what is wrong with it. Does anyone know anything I don’t lol?
