Separate 2 phone numbers from one account into 2 individual account

We have 2 phone numbers under a single account but need to split them into 2 separate accounts. I am not sure how to go about setting up a separate account, getting the same phone number and removing that number from the previous account. Do I just sign up as a new customer and then will have the ability to take assign the phone number?

Is this a real email? We regret to inform you that we couldn't process your order,

I applied online to transfer my phone to Koodo. I was told the credit check was approved and I’d get the SIM card within a few business days. A few days later, I received this email and I don’t know if it’s legit. It seems odd and I haven’t clicked on any of the links just in case. Has this happened to anyone else before: “Hi there, We hope you’re doing well.

Call forwarding / SMS text while outside Canada

I am asking the community for help again.TLDR Summary:  What is the per min call forwarding charge  when one is outside Canada when one has the $3 Call Forwarding add-on and the call forward is setup prior to departure to a Canadian number?  What about forwarded to a US number?   Also, is incoming SMS text message free to receive while outside Canada?  (regular INT Voice  Roaming enabled, no EasyRoam)---I think it is a fairly common use case, that you are traveling outside Canada and want to have a way for people to reach you, while trying to reduce cost and not pay for expensive Pay per Day (EasyRoam) or ridiculously expensive  Pay per Use roaming fees.A very common strategy is that before you leave Canada, you set up an unconditional call forward to a phone# that you can access while traveling.  This could be a no cost or low cost VoIP service with a Canadian number like Fongo, or even in some case if permissible a US based phone number if your travel destination is in the USA.You al

Unable to make international calls from Europe?

My daughter is currently in Europe and is unable to make any calls on her phone. She has an iphone 11, with international roaming enabled. She has pulled the sim card and rebooted the phone, but no luck. She’s on our family postpaid plan.Koodoo support are bloody useless, we struggle to understand each other, all they want to do is sell me their roaming plan.  She should be able to make international calls at standards rates,  but call attempts are failing with the message she’s unable to make international calls.Any ideas? thanks.

Easy Roam misinformation on Koodo website

 I enabled Easy Roam for a trip to the UK thinking I could use it on a day where I need lots of data.To avoid unexpected charges, I checked the website (https://www.koodomobile.com/easyroam) to see what activates it. It states the following: “The daily Easy Roam fee is valid for 24 hours, and applies when you make or pick up a call and send a text or use data abroad”.On my return, I discovered extra charges on $117, despite only actually turning my roaming on for ONE day to use the Easy Roam. It appears that Easy Roam was activated almost every day I was away. My roaming was OFF for the entire duration apart from one day.Having followed this up with Koodo, they said the charge can be activated even if you receive a text message or call without answering it. This is different to what the site above says, and the guy on the phone even admitted this appears to be a discrepancy to what the website says and what is actually the case. Despite admitting the website information is wrong, he co

Call Forwarding add-on (one question and one issue)

Hi,I would like to setup conditional call forwarding. I have two questions:1 - The “call forwarding” add-on is not listed under the “manage add-ons” page. Why is the add-on not available? Also, I did try setting up call fwd by dialing *61* *62* and *67* codes, but I get an error message (perhaps because the add-on is not active on my account?)2 - Is the call forwarding add-on required in order to setup conditional forwarding? Maybe it’s just required for unconditional forwarding? Thank you

incoming international text and pictures

 I have family in Australia who want to communicate using texts as well as send pictures. I have "unlimited" international messaging (text and pictures) but I'm not sure what that actually means. Can I receive texts and pictures from Australia for free or does it cost me? And can I send texts and pics to Australia from Canada for free?

Purchased an iPad, would like to use Koodo plan without buying a tablet

Recently purchased an iPad Pro, and was surprised to go to the Koodo store and be told that I cannot get a tablet plan without purchasing a tablet from Koodo on top of the iPad I already have. Am I missing something? Is there any way to get a tablet plan added to my existing postpaid Koodo account? Very disappointed!
