I am trying to buy a Koodo sim card for a gift. Since time is running short, I thought I would buy locally instead of online. I have been to Telus/Koodo stores and Walmart, but they refuse to sell me just the card. They say they have to activate it in the store.
When I signed up to Koodo a few years ago, I was able to buy one and activate it myself online through self-serve when I got home. Is this a store scam, or a new Koodo policy. I can still buy sim cards from other carriers like Virgin and Lucky Mobile, which I may have to if I can’t buy a Koodo one locally in time.
