Umidigi A13 Pro not getting mobile data

I bought an Umidigi A13 Pro to replace my phone which was destroyed. I can not get mobile data with it. I can make out going calls, and the wifi works. Just not the mobile data. Is there something I need to set up? Cheers,

Will Koodo/sales person be able to remove my number from an apple ID

Hey there, so to make a long story short, the Apple ID my account is linked to I’ve (almost) lost access to. I don’t have my password anymore, it got changed by me a while ago and I can’t remember what I’d changed it to. I’ve exhausted my options of recovering the account so when this phone dies or I go to get a new one, I will not be able to use my number due to the fact that it’s already linked to an Apple ID but I will not be able to log into it. so, will I be able to get Koodo to remove my number from this apple account so I can put it on a new one, or if I switch to android will I be able to transfer my number there?

dropped calls iphone

I’m really starting to get frustrated my phone is constantly dropping calls and so frequently! It’s really impacting my business. I have just noticed that in the past 2 months the service has really dropped in quality. The calls drop every 15 to 20 minutes. Please can someone fix this? Or help me? Otherwise I may have to change carriers again.

Mailbox full even though I have visual voicemail setup on my iPhone

I changed my plan with Koodo to include more data.  Prior to doing so, I was able to receive many visual voicemail and leave them in my voicemail of my iPhone.  After my plan update, if I have more than 10 messages that I listened to in my phone visual voicemail, the next call I get results in the caller getting a message that my mailbox is full. I listened to all of the messages and the mailbox should not be full.   It’s as if the messages are not clearing from the Koodo mailbox.   The only option I can find is to delete my visual voicemail messages which is inappropriate.  I already listened to the messages and want to keep some for archive purposes.   I tried deleting every single message from my visual voicemail, then I used a different phone to leave messages.  After 10 voicemails, I get a message on my phone that my mailbox is 100% full.  I listened to each of the 10 visual voicemail messaages.  When I call from a different #, I receive a message that the mailbox is full.  I alre

changed phones

Does Koodo need to know that I have changed phones?  I damaged my last one and bought a new one,  have transferred all my info over to the new one as well as the SIM card.

why is my Samsung A52 unable to connect with the network?

My phone is no longer able to connect to the network , yes I re started it many times.. and tried all the suggested things... maybe these phones are just a POS ? I  wound up putting the sim card on my old cracked S9 and it worked fine  so no network problems ... anything I  can do?

Phone screen bubbles after taking off screen protector

I have a Samsung Galaxy A52 and was using a tempered glass screen protector. My phone was being weird all of a sudden and wouldn’t respond to my touch, so I took off the screen protector, and now there are bubbles on my phone screen. Is this permanent damage to my new, expensive phone or is this something I shouldn’t freak out about?

How do I turn off roaming on my iPhone?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15.4 … I want to set it for NO Roaming, NONE, Zip, Zilch. To go with Network > Koodo (i.e. not AUTOMATIC)    But on my phone I can’t find the setting. Google searches all give different methods, and none match what I see on my phone - there’s no Roaming setting. Is it only visible when certain other settings are on?

call recordings?

Weird question but we’re going into a court dispute and a recording of a phone call would be beneficial. Is there a way to request a recording or transcript of a call?

Can't hear the other party while in the USA

My wife has a Koodo prepaid account. We used it last April in the US since she has purchased add-ons for voice, data and Texts. We are now back in the US for a month. She can originate and receive calls  but she can’t hear the other person. Data and texts messages are OK. We had a Koodo rep call us on another line, who then passed me to somebody in the technical service. She told me that my wife would need a 5G phone so it would work in the US.  She also said no 3G or 4G phones will work on Koodo prepaid accounts in the US! I know 3G phones no longer work in the US but 4G (LTE) should. My wife’s phone is an iPhone SE first generation, which is compatible with LTE and VoLTE.  By the way, I can’t enable VoLTE on her phone,  I get the message ‘’to activate LTE calls on this account, contact Koodo’’ The Koodo reps was no help to resolve this.Finally I find it strange that we can still buy from Koodo add-ons for voice in the USA without any notice that the phone needs to be 5G compatible.Co
