Speed comparison

I have a iphone 11 ( not 5G compatible) with a plan where i chose speed boost as a perk(ie. 4G speed with speed boost). Will the speed be better with this plan versus changing to a 5G plan ( no speed boost option)where I only can get the compatible 4G speed( due to my phone)? I think it is better to stay with current plan but wanted to make sure I understood the speed options.

Expedited Shipping

Hello I just purchased a certified pre owned phone on a new line on my account for my daughter. She wants to walk school by herself or with her friends but I told her she needed a phone before she was able to. I just want to know if I can pay extra or if there was a way to get expedited shipping ?

Do new lines appear once new sims arrive?

Hey everyone,I have a koodo sim myself and wanted to set my two up on plans too, adding their lines to my account, so I ordered them each a new sim plan via self serve. It only let me order one at a time and each time made me click ‘add a line’ to go through to checkout, so seemed to make sense.My question is really a double-check have I done everything right? And when will their lines/plans appear on my self serve page? It shows no trace of the two new orders I’ve placed and doesn’t show 2 more lines anywhere - only my own monthly plan.Thanks!

Buying a new phone

I was interested in buying the iPhone 14 where you pay $32.08 over 24 months. Does anyone know if I would have to change/upgrade my phone plan in order to buy this? My phone plan already has some modifications on it and is a good deal so I don’t want to have to change it. Thanks.

Unable to upgrade my phone

I’m trying to upgrade my phone, but each time I try to add the phone to my cart it fails with an error: “This product isn't compatible with other items in your cart” There’s nothing else in my cart, so I’m not sure what the error is keying off of. FWIW, the phone is a certified used S21 Ultra 5G; how can I purchase this phone? Thanks,Jeff

In person tech support

Hi: I’m thinking of ordering a new phone online from the Koodo website. I’m an existing customer. Need to know if it’s possible to go to the local Koodo store in my neighborhood to get help with getting the new phone set up properly and that data transferred from my old phone to the new one. I’m not the most techno savvy person, so would like to have the help of an actual person. Please let me know. Thanks

How to access customer care? (Is this normal for Koodo?)

We had an excellent family plan with another company for as far back as I can remember. Koodo offered us new (refurbished) ‘iPhone 12XR Pro 256GB’ phones with comparable plans to our old ones, so I signed up and brought over two of my grown kids as well, with the same offer. We are very unhappy with the phones. To say these phones are “refurbished” is false advertising. They absolutely are not refurbished. They are just plain “used”, and there’s a reason people got rid of them. Mine has an 87% max battery life and the speaker is sometimes crackly. The main reason I switched to a new phone is because my old phones battery was going, so this is very disappointing. My daughters phone shows red notifications; “Unable to determine if your iPhone battery is a genuine Apple part”, and “Unable to determine if your iPhone display is a genuine Apple part”, and her phone is constantly and randomly crashing with a white screen, as well as dropping calls, and the battery is not good. My sons phone

Buying Sim In-Store and purchasing plan online

I am wanting to purchase a prepaid sim from BestBuy however, Im wondering if I will still be able to purchase the promotional plan then? When I just access the promotion plan it charges for a sim to be delivered. While prepaid plans are completely different. Has anyone tried this? Does it work?

How on earth are we supposed to get service?

So my phone screen died yesterday… very old, well loved Samsung A8 that is way past due for an update. So go online yesterday and order a new Pixel 7 . Then I get an email saying it will be shipped in a week! A week for a new phone, plus 2-5 days for it to get here?Anyway, then I go and check my order status and it says please schedule a call back, your order is under review. So I go and do that and then when I do get the call… they say we can’t help you… we’ll schedule another call…. which I never got.Why can’t I just call you! I want to just cancel this order and go to a company that has actual people working for it, not a call back bot. I can’t wait a week and a half for a phone, what is this 2003?So annoyed. Any ideas what to do?

2 new accounts

Hi - I am trying to activate two SIM cards. I have no idea which card is for what account and I only received one email with account information. The SIM cards did not come with any information. Just the card and the envelope. How do I get in touch with a live person?As a new customer this is super frustrating.

Port out getting rejected

I’m trying to port out my number to another carrier but it keeps getting rejected because there is no response from Koodo. I don’t see anything that would be blocking the port out but Koodo is either not responding or rejecting it and I have no way to find out what the problem is. How in the hell do I find out what the problem is if I can’t talk to anyone?

Iphone refurbished "not genuine" display not working, terrible communication!!!!

We purchased a refurbished Iphone previously and our recent purchase of refurbished Iphone quit working after a couple days of transferring data from old phone. Display error was noted upon initial set up “not genuine part”, which did not go away after a few suggestions. A couple days later the screen no longer responds and we would like to return the Iphone, but we cannot delete personal data from the phone since screen is not responding. Koodo’s response time to my concern regarding returning an Iphone that still has personal data downloaded is painfully inadequate. I am done with Koodo and its lack of support!!!!!

Can I ship my new phone to my work address instead of my billing address?

I want to upgrade my phone but have it shipped to my work address where I will be when delivery occurs (no one would be home during delivery hours) Do I have to change by billing address to my work address to do this?

My current phone is water damaged and won’t turn on so I’m trying to order a new phone via the koodo shop but on the step before shipping it’s asking me to verify my identity with a SMS code. Is there an alternate way to verify my identity since I can’t use my current phone?

promotional bill credit missing

I purchased a new phone during a promotion where a bill credit of 189.84$ was offered with the phone (may 23 2023). During checkout it showed the bill credit being applied to my remaining tab balance of 132$. Now in the new month that credit has disappeared and replaced with the 132 tab upgrade fee.
