I am planning to change from another provider to Telus or Koodo because of the need for Call Control ability.
- Does the $15 starter plan have call control?
I know that Koodo only gives call control to post-paid plans, not prepaid, but does this also apply to the online-only $15 starter plan? My old plan was a basic $20 plan and is very similar to this one. The main reasons I’d get this are call control and price similarity, if call control is not available, then it’s a deal breaker for me.
- Will I be able to bring my old number with this online-only plan? Is this an entirely online process or should I call Koodo to smoothen this process?
- Since this plan does not offer picture texts, do I get charged if advertisers send me picture texts?
I have never had picture texts in a plan before, do they count as part of the data plan or do they work separately? if I turn off my phones data, will it disable picture texts too? Are emojis mms or sms?
- On overage fees for picture texts
I was reading a previous thread that someone got insane overage fees over unaware picture texts uses,
Now I have become aware of it, but I am wondering if this charge could happen in an action that is not initiated by me, like incoming picture texts, and what my options are to protect against it.
That other thread recommended Public mobile, I have wanted to switch to Public before, but they do not have call control, so that’s out.
- One thing my friend warned me about Koodo is the number service charges and potential hidden fees, but he didn't specify. What should I watch out for to avoid unnecessary fees?
