phone is not registered

I’ve been away for 4 months, and now that I’m home my phone doesn’t work.  When I try to make a call I get a message “your phone is not registered on a network”.l’ve removed and reinserted the SIM, and restarted, but no luck.  It’s a new phone, but it worked fine when I bought it in December.Can anyone help?

Modifying Voicemail Message

Hi, I’m looking to reset my voicemail to default. I do not have a greeting, but I had recorded my name when I set it up and it plays when you reach voicemail. I’d like to remove this and have the voice recording just list my number instead, “You’ve reached xxx-xxx-xxxx”. I could not find any support articles about this though I may have missed something.  *edited solved

Invalid MMI code error when try to access Voicemail

So, two issues - or maybe just one issue causing both things? 1- I get no notifications of new voicemails.2- I get “Connection problem or invalid MMI code” when I attempt to dial into the voicemail mailbox.  So, no way to access any messages that might be there. I’ve tried resetting my phone, running in safemode, resetting all network settings, reseating the SIM card, and removing any apps that I’ve installed within the last month - none of these have helped. Hoping that the community might have some helpful advice!  Thanks in advance to anyone that might have a clue what to try next :)

Koodo is a bad company

This company is a scam and a half. Without any contact they changed the account number and my auto payments went into the air. After hours on the phone they blamed me, Misha threatened to cancel helping me and would not let me say a single sentence, no one could show me the change I made 2 months ago and no one could provide a signed contract besides my original from 7 years ago. Reps don’t give dealer numbers or provide you with anything to hold them accountable. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE.

Not receiving Instant Voicemail?

Hello,I added Instant Voicemail to my phone plan on April 10 2023 and received a confirmation e-mail from Koodo saying my services were updated. If I understand this link from the Help section correctly, I should be receiving a MMS with future voicemails attached and not receive the traditional voicemail notification. Since then, I no longer receive the traditional voicemail notifications as indicated, but I do not receive a MMS when I receive a voicemail; I still have to dial my voicemail inbox “the old way” to check my messages. My mobile data is turned on as per the requirements, and turning wifi off while using wifi does not make a delayed MMS appear in my messages.I have a Google Pixel 4a and have not blocked Koodo’s messages in the past. What number should I be receiving the MMS from? Are there special settings in the Pixel 4a I should be looking at? I took a look at the phone’s call settings but didn’t see anything obvious.I am using a 3rd party messaging app (Textra) but the in

Have you ever used the iOS system repair tool? Are they really works?

There are some green lines on our iPhone 11 screen, it wasn't dropped on the ground or soaked in water. I am suggested to use some iOS system repair tool to solve the software issues, such as Tenorshare or Joyoshare UltFix, are they really works? Any one used them?

Seasonal hold issues

Hello, I am currently in Portugal for 2 months and I’ve put my plan on seasonal hold. I’m now trying to do my taxes but the CRA and my bank need to get in touch with via my QC phone number (got a France # while I was out here). How do I manage this considering I have to either receive texts or make call + waiting time for certain services ? In this particular instance, my credit card needs to be unlocked to have access to some documentation but I have no good way of getting them on the phone for less the 1 euro a minute…. Help me please, not sure what to do here.Theo

Koodo eSim activation failed, no service

I tried converting my physical SIM to eSim as per instructions on your website and now neither my physical SIM nor my eSim work. I received an error during the conversion process that it failed, after that it was no longer working and there is no option to convert the physical SIM anymore.  I’m using iOS 16.4.1 and I was connected to the Internet at the time of the conversion. Chat is of no help as the assistant doesn’t recognize the problem, and even if it did, it wouldn’t help to schedule a call as my service is not working.

Transfer to eSIM failed to activate

Hey all, I used the feature in iOS 16.4.1 to transfer physical SIM to eSIM so I could utilize second phone line (other phone would be the source of the physical SIM in my iPhone 13 Pro).  after following the instructions the transfer was stuck on “Activating...” for over 30 minutes.  at a certain point I received a pop up telling me the eSIM failed to activate.  now the information is gone from the physical SIM and the eSIM does not work.    I have tried: 1. read a ton of FAQ/Community posts, 2. Toggle Airplane mode, 3. restart phone 4. reset network settings I don’t want to remove eSIM from my device because I won’t have anything left. Appreciate any help possible!

IPhone 13 not working with Google Drive

When I switched to an iphone from an android device, the Google Drive app stopped working properly for me. I think it’s an issue with the phone. I am unable to open more than one document from the Google Drive app. As soon as I open a second document the first one closes. Has anyone else experienced this? It makes working on Google drive impossible, if I need to have more than one document open.
