Prepaid Account Locked – Unable to Contact Support or Activate Replacement SIM

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone can help me with a frustrating issue with my son’s Koodo Prepaid account.

His SIM card suddenly stopped working, and his phone showed “No SIM.” When I tried to log in to Self Serve to check the account, I received an incorrect password message.

I reset the password successfully, but the account immediately showed “User Locked.” I’ve since reset the password again using different devices, but the account is still locked.

I also purchased a replacement SIM card from a Koodo store, but I can’t transfer his existing number to the new SIM because I can’t access Self Serve.

I’ve tried Koodo Prepaid Assist multiple times. Even when I select “Speak to a rep,” it asks me to sign in before scheduling a callback. This leaves me stuck in a loop.

Could a Koodo representative or community moderator please help me arrange a callback without signing in, or explain how to unlock my account?

We really need to keep his existing phone number.

Thank you so much for any help!

    Just to confirm, are you currently residing in Canada? Without a VPN, and not on satellite internet? I ask since their security system might flag that as suspicious activity and not let the password change go through properly.

     

    User locked was a bug Koodo said they had fixed a while ago, so it's worth another try from a different device, in incognito, with the saved usernames and passwords and the browser cache cleared. A rep in a similar thread also suggested registering for Self Serve with a different email address https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/registering-self-serve

     

    For the SIM itself, since you can't get into Self Serve, I would bring him and the new SIM to a Koodo kiosk. Hopefully,  They can swap it over and keep the existing number.

    Hi Dinh,

    Thank you so much for your detailed suggestions!

    Yes, I’m living in Canada, and I’m not using a VPN or satellite internet.

    I’ve already tried resetting the password on two different phones, but the account is still locked. I’ll try using incognito mode as you suggested.

    As for the SIM card, I actually purchased the replacement SIM from a Koodo store. Unfortunately, the staff told me they couldn’t activate it or transfer the existing number for a prepaid account, and that I would need to do it through Self Serve.

    Do you happen to know if any Koodo locations can help with prepaid SIM swaps when the account is locked?

    Thanks again! I really appreciate your help.

    You can try this link to find a local store near you https://www.koodomobile.com/en/find-nearest-store? I would recommend you to call the store in advance to see if they can help before going there.

    For prepaid support, you can schedule a callback to any Canadian number that can receive calls normally. Here is the link: k www.koodo.com/prepaidchat It doesn’t have to be the same prepaid number you currently have. Support for prepaid through the forum is limited, though.
