Hey! So Dennis and Dinh covered the main bases on timing and fees. Here's something they didn't mention: check if your old Koodo account is still active or if it's been closed.

 

When you ported to Bell, Koodo may have deactivated your account. If that happened, you might not be able to simply "go back" to your original plan; instead, you'd likely need to set up a new account (even if you keep your number). This could affect pricing or plan availability.

 

Before you request that callback, log into your Koodo account online or try the self-serve portal to see what status it shows. If it says closed or inactive, that's something important to mention to the rep when you call back; it'll help them sort things faster and confirm whether reconnection fees apply or if you're treated as a fresh signup.

 

Also, grab your original plan details if you have them (screenshot or bill) so you can ask the rep if that exact plan is still available. Koodo rotates promotions pretty often, so your old plan might've changed.

Hey Firdos! So you're seeing "Your account is canceled but you can still access for 3 months" in self-serve; that's actually good news in a way.

Here's the deal: you've got a 3-month window to reactivate before it's fully gone. Since your account shows canceled (likely from when you ported to Bell), you'd technically be setting up a new account with Koodo, even if you're keeping your number.

Quick questions to help clarify your situation:

1. Are you trying to port your number back from Bell to Koodo, or just reactivate with a new number?

2. Have you already tried reactivating through the self-serve portal, or are you hitting errors?

If you're running into payment or activation errors, try these quick fixes: double-check your address format matches Canada Post records (like "Rd" instead of "Road"), make sure you're using a credit card (some folks have issues with debit), or grab a prepaid top-up voucher from a retailer to get going instead.

Let me know what's blocking you and I can point you in the right direction!

That 3-month access window is actually tied to your old canceled account, not a fresh one. So if you want to come back with your exact old plan, you'd need to contact Koodo directly to see if they can "reactivate" that specific account rather than create a new one; reactivation might preserve your original plan pricing, whereas a brand new signup could have different rates or plan availability.

The key question is whether Koodo treats this as a reactivation (usually no extra fees) or a new activation (might have setup charges). Since your account shows canceled-but-accessible, there's a real difference in how they'll handle it. I’ll flag a rep to help you out.

Did you have a prepaid or postpaid account?

If postpaid then you can schedule a callback with a rep through Koodo assist and they can re-activate the account and switch you back. However, you need to have the old Koodo sim card to switch.

If you don’t you will need to pick up a replacement from a Koodo or Telus store, then schedule a call. Just note due to it being black Friday there may be a delay in scheduling one.

If it is prepaid and the number was ported, then you will need to activate a new prepaid line and then port the number back over.

Hello ​@Firdos 

We are glad to see that you want to return. If you still have the Koodo postpaid sim card, you can reach out to our over the phone team by scheduling a callback through our Koodo assist. Our team will authenticate you and resume the service, if you are still within the grace period. The account will be treated as a resume and not a new activation, if you are resuming with a port in for the same phone number and account.

A connection fee applies on new line activations.
