Return procedure for defective phone + Pixel 7 vs S23 ?

I’ve had a Galaxy S10e with Koodo since 2019 and wanted to upgrade, so I picked the Google Pixel 7 after a little research. Ordered online and received it after 3 business day, as promised by Koodo. However, the phone is defective “out of the box” ; I tried everything but I just can’t seem to get it to work, so I sent an email to the Koodo webstore to initiate a return procedure. Anyone knows how long I’ll have to wait until they follow-up and I can return the phone and get the associated monthly payment cancelled ? Also, I’m wondering if I should simply get another Pixel 7 (a working one this time !) or if I should maybe consider paying a little more and get the Galaxy S23, as I have had no issue with my S10e for the past 4 years other than the lower quality camera (main reason I want to upgrade) and normal wear from regular use. And should I consider switching providers ?Thanks !

koodo called to confirm my address

I recently placed an online order for a new phone. I updated my address while I was placing the order. I received a phone call from a Koodo assistant who wanted to confirm my address. However I couldn’t make it to the phone and was left with a voice message. What am I supposed to do now? I have no way of calling the advisor back and I do not want to experience a delay on my order.

How Long Does It Take To Get A Software Update

Hi All,I am looking at getting a new phone. Weighting my options on potentially getting a Samsung S1FE or a Google Pixel 7. My issue is that specs on the Samsung S1FE state it's only running Android 11. I am running Adroid 13 currently on my Samsung A71. How long generally does it take for a software update to come in? Just wondering since I feel Android 11 would be a considerable downgrade for me.

Old Plan, New phone

I'm looking to upgrade my Pixel 3 to a Pixel 7. The plan I currently have is unlimited Canada calling and texting, plus 4Gb of data. However when I try to buy the new pixel 7 on the website it does not acknowledge my previous plan. I do not want to change my plan as it suits my needs very well, is there any way to keep the old plan and only upgrade my device?

I broke my phone today..

I broke my phone today by dropping it, it just turned off and won’t turn back on. I’ve tried plugging it in, holding the power button etc. Anyways, I tried to order a new phone, but when I get to the end of my purchase it asks to verify that I’m me by sending a 6 digit code to my phone that’s dead! So how do I get around this?  The phone in question is a google pixel 5a

2nd Phone Query

Hi, I’m currently on a BYOD plan … I am looking to add a 2nd phone, likely a pre-owned phone … can I order this phone and pay the minimum monthly charge without messing up my current plan? Does the 2nd phone need to be locked into a Koodo plan for 24 months? And after the 24 months, the pre-owned phone would be mine with no further plan obligations?

Upgrade phone to S23

I’m looking to upgrade to the S23 with Tab. Am I reading this correctly? $25 per month for 24 months then the phone is paid for in full? I understand I will have to upgrade to Tab plus which is $55 per month. I don’t want to get lost in the fine print. TSYM everyone :)

Tab Bonus inflated by $365 - Koodo quotes a "Retail Price" of $1,925 but Samsung Regular Price is $1,559.99

S23+ with 512 GBI have noticed that the retail price quoted by Koodo, and therefore the calculated “tab bonus”, are not accurate. The Tab Bonus is calculated at $672 but it is really only $307.Your new phone:Phone: SAMSUNG GALAXY S23 PLUS 512 GREENSerial #: 354206310215483Cost of your phone:Full Retail price: $1,925.00Total Tab amount: -$792.00Tab Bonus: -$672.00Your upfront phone cost*: $461.00 The Tab Bonus is inflated by $365 - Koodo quotes a "Retail Price" of $1,925 but Samsung regular price is $1,559.99. By the way, this phone is on sale and the sale price is even less at $1,419.99.See here:https://www.samsung.com/ca/smartphones/galaxy-s23/buy/

What happens if I pay off my tab balance before returning the item I bought on tab?

I recently upgraded my phone with Tab. The phone I upgraded to was my second choice, as my first choice was out of stock. A few days after ordering, the phone wanted more came back into stock, so I’ve initiated the return process for the first phone. I want to get the phone I actually want ASAP, and my understanding is that I can’t order it until my tab balance reads zero.My question is, if I pay off my Tab in a lump sum and go through with the return, what will happen with my account? Will I get a refund of the money I used to pay off the Tab? Will my account have a positive balance that I can use to pay the new tab?

All Cubot Smartphones are still unsupported by Koodo's and Telus network

I posted on the koodo Mobile forum because of my frustration that Cubot has not programmed for All 4G LTE and 3G bands for their line up of 4 inch smartphone such as the Cubot J10, Cubot kingkong mini 2 and Cubot Pocket smartphones. I get these smartphones on aliexpress.com.  I am going to cave  and buy a $110 Cubot Kingkong mini 2 even though it is not finished programming  I have emailed Cubot once a month for the past 13 months to ask when Victor gets coverage for the essential 4G LTE bands for the Cubot . I even asked my asked my electrical engineer Friend Chenbuke at Rogers when the Cubot Pocket is fully supported there. I complained to Nokia corporation and their former 3G HSPA+ network  programmer Keanu reeves. I told Asus Taiwan about the 4 inch smartphone and they say they will make it.   I told Nvidia CEO Haung Jensen and he offered a grant  to the first programmer that successfully programed 4G LTE for the Cubot smartphones  My friend Deacon Dan tried to use a Cubot J10 says

credit check for existing customer buying phone on tab

I am an existing Koodo customer on 60 dollar plan. I want to buy Pixel 7a on tab but am concerned that it would result in a credit check. Will a credit check happen now? A check had already happened when I joined Koodo for the first time.

Buying the pixel 7a results in "Your choice is no longer available"

I tried ordering the pixel 7a and go through the entire process of entering credit card details and approving the purchase about 4 times and when the sms code is entered, a screen shows “Your choice is no longer available”. It’s a popular phone blah blah blah.  Anyone else having this issue right now?
