Tips, Tricks & Troubleshooting

(Currently using the Xiaomi Pocophone F1)After switching from Fido to Koodo, I am unable to open most of my apps such as BMO app, chrome, bacon reader, twitter, my phone updater and most other game apps when using data.However apps such as youtube, gmail and instagram works fine.I have checked all my data settings and found that it is indeed turned on and turned off by mistake. I have even done a full wipe and factory reset on my phone. Tried removing and reinserting the SIM card, which after doing so broke a few more apps altogether making it worse.I have even reset and tried creating multiple access point and the various fixes for the APN and MMS ports and so forth.My only solution was to download 1.1.1.1 App by cloudflare and after turning it on and “securing” my connection all my apps now works on data. But doing so slows down my data connection since I am going through a VPN.  Everything also works fine without the VPN when using WiFiI wholeheartedly believe that the issue is from

I activated call control and it has worked well to deter unwanted telemarketing calls, but recently, in the last two days, it has authorized two calls with the caller id of 'a2' through the screening process. What does this 'a2' mean and how did it get through without having to identify a phone number?

Yesterday I had a Telus sim and I could send and receive photos in my messages.  Today I have Koodo sim and I have to turn on my data in order to send and receive photos in my messages.  What needs to be done so I don’t have to keep turning my data on and off?

My Koodo Home Phone was working fine this afternoon. I was away from the unit, and when I came back to it, there is nothing but a Red Y - no bars whatsoever. My cellphone also has no bars. What the heck is going on?? I’m seriously thinking of using another carrier, as getting support for Koodo is basically non-existent. It’s ridiculous.And before you tell me to unhook the home phone and wait and reconnect it, I’ve done that twice already and it doesn’t work. I checked my cellphone to find that there are no bars on it either. Can someone please help with this?

I purchased a LG Stylo 3+ in September 2017 which I’m now trying to use with another carrier. It’s asking for an unlock code. How do I get one I’m no longer a customer.

I was almost the victim of a scam, and they do have some of my info including my phone number, so I want to put a temporary hold on any requests for porting or SIM swap on my number to ensure they can't get ahold of anything. Anyone have any idea how I can do this or what number to call?

Yesterday  I started using my new ZTE WF723CA Wireless home phone hub hooked up to my home phone that I had been using for many years with my Bell copper landline.  Although I can hear people very clearly, everyone complains that I sound awful--raspy, like a transistor radio type quality of sound.  This was not the case with my Bell landline so I don’t think my phone is the problem.   Just to be sure, I tried it with an old fashioned push button corded phone--but sound was still bad.  I have full signal strength and the device is beside a window.  I had placed my cordless phone hub as far away as possible in the room, but it does need to connect to the ZTE so must remain within the same room.  Is this to be expected with the ZTE device?  ARe there adjustments that can be made?

Is there something i have to do in order to get all of the messages?Thank you in advance for anything you can share to assist.

I have an iPhone 6S and I was looking to get a newer phone. Not brand new though. And I was wondering if it was possible to take my current Koodo phone number and put it on a newer phone. I don’t want to get a new phone number, I would like to keep the one I have now. Let me know, please.
