RCS Using Old Phone Number

I’ve been a Koodo customer for some time (6-7ish years); I lived in NB when I first switched from my old provider, and kept my number (which worked flawlessly). The issue I’m having is I moved to the NWT, and changed my number accordingly. I can send and receive phone calls without issue, my data works fine, however when RCS kicked in (this was well after I had changed my number), it now shows my old number for some odd reason. I can send regular SMS messages fine, and they show up with my current number, however when I try to use RCS messaging, it shows as registered with my NB number. I’ve turned RCS on and off several times with no luck; just wondering if there are any other tricks that might fix the issue that anybody knows of?

Wifi Connects but Internet Unusable

I'm experiencing intermittent internet connectivity when using a router with my modem. I have tried troubleshooting and cannot solve this. The wifi connects but is unusable, slower than dial up, and unable to resolve most sites. This started suddenly last Friday night and I have had no wifi for 4 days. I have had Koodo internet for 3 months without issues until now. Koodo support says they will send me a new modem and router but no time frame or tracking number has been provided. Here's the behavior:After restarting the router (or both the modem and router), I can access the internet for a few minutes. Speed tests may complete once, but subsequent tests fail with "network issue" errors. Webpages initially load but then start timing out after a few minutes.This issue occurs with two different routers but does not happen when a single device (e.g., PC) is directly connected to the modem via Ethernet.Troubleshooting Steps Taken:1. Tested with Two Routers:Tried both the ISP-provided route

Phone stuck on SOS mode

Hi, My IPhone is currently stuck in SOS mode since last night for absolutely no reason. I’ve done those steps : Restart my phone (about 5 times already) Turn the airplane mode for 15 seconds I changed my sims card. When I bought my new phone with Koodo about two months ago, I did receive a new sims card I didn’t used because I just transfered the one I already had in my phone. So I tried with the new one but it doesn’t work stillI checked my account and I have no outstanding balance or anything. My account is up to date. I bought my phone with Koodo. So really I am out of ressources at the moment. Did anyone faces this situation before and would be able to help me?Thanks !

echo with new samsung phone with aux /usb-c plug in

I recently upgraded to S24 which doesn't have an aux input. I don't have Bluetooth in my car so I connect my phone to the aux cable to take calls. Since I've switched phones, I have purchased a USB-c <-> aux adaptor to connect my phone to the cars sound system, but everyone I talk to seems to hear their voice echo. Any way to fix this?

Voicemail password reset not working

I have never had a password on my voicemail. Went to check my voicemail today and it says I require a password. If I ever had one I don’t know what it was so I selected the option to reset the password. I get a text with temporary password in order to reset the password, but then I’m told the password is invalid. I’ve attempted to reset 3 times and each time it sends me the same “temporary password” and then when I enter the password it tells me it’s “not the correct password.” So I have voicemails but cannot check/access them. How can I can I fix this?

Calls cutting out

I had a Galaxy S20. I had for 2 years but in the last 6 months whenever I made or received calls mine or the recipient's voice would be cut off so was constantly having to ask people to repeat themselves, or couldn’t make the call at all. I’ve just purchased a new phone Google Pixel 9 I’ve just made my first call and it’s done it again. The Sim card that came with the new phone wouldn’t connect so still using old SIM but it has an eSim.

Cannot send/recieve MMS. Default APN is incorrect

Hi,It seems I've run into a problem with my APN settings for a second time, and was hoping someone may have a solution.The default APN settings on my phone cannot be changed, as all the settings are greyed out.Previously, i was able to bypass this by creating a APN with the exact same name&settings.However this seems to have been patched in a recent android or OS update, and you cannot create APNs with the same name.Now i’m stuck unable to send/receive MMS because the default APN settings are incorrect.My main question is this something that needs to be fixed by Telus/Koodo? Or is this something that would need to be fixed by the phone manufacture?Either way it sounds like i can root my phone to get access to the APN file bypassing the greyed out settings but i would like to avoid that if possible.I’m using a nothing phone 2 if that matters at all.ThanksChris

Can deleted voicemail be recovered via Visual Voicemail?

My voicemails got deleted unexpectedly even though I had resaved them. However, I have them in text form but do not currently have Visual Voicemail. If I get visual voicemail added to my plan, will I be able to download these voicemails (that I can see in the text) even though they expired a few days ago and were deleted in the voicemail itself? I’m using a Samsung phone.

Failing to disable voicemail

I did the following steps previously to disable voicemail:Call your voicemail by holding the number 1 on your dial pad. Select option 3 to “Manage your greetings”. Select option 4 to “Manage your Extended Absence Greeting”. Select option 5 to block callers from leaving a message after hearing the Extended Absence Greeting. However it is not disabled and calls reach voicemail if not picked up. I want to completely disable voicemail so that there is no greeting and no one can leave me voicemail (mostly spam anyway). How do I turn it off?
