Tips, Tricks & Troubleshooting

For some web services that use two-factor authentication, I do not receive text messages so cannot be authenticated. I enter my username and password, then I enter my telephone number for the site to send me a text message with the code; I never receive the message. This is very inconvenient as many sites now use two-factor authentication and some do not have the ability to send the code to an email address.

When I try to turn on WiFi calling in my Pixel 7 Pro, it tries for a few minutes, then says to contact my carrier to activate it. I did get ahold of a rep, but none of their suggestions worked. Any ideas is greatly appreciated.Many thanks, Chris 

All apps using location services identify me as a person residing in Calgary and/or Alberta. Even Koodo themselves, always start my access to their internet homepage services as an Alberta customer. However, l have always been a Saskatchewan / Saskatoon resident with a 306 area code.Am I being hacked? Do I need to worry?How do i get rid of this irritation. I'm tired of having to search twice for everything.

So last night I noticed that a couple of my notes on my Iphone 12 just “disappeared” … yup gone.  Not in my deleted folder or ANY other folder form that matter.  Checked Icloud … gone there as well.  Tried to do some trouble shooting and one suggestion was to update to the latest iOS which I did (16.2) and guess what … I then lost ALL but 10 of my original 126 notes.  To say that I’m in a bit of a panic is an understatement cause for me this is THE MOST important usage of on my phone. Without my notes I’m clueless as to what’s going on … so how can I get them back please!!!!!    

HiI've recently moved to Koodo and need wifi calling enabled when I work from my basement. It was working before with other network on same phone.On my s21 when I try to enable wifi calling always get an error that my number is not found. My koodo self serve account is with same email. Please help. I've month to month plan with my own device. 

I am a Rogers customer who has recently bought into Koodo during the black friday sale. I received a sim card shortly afterwards in the mail and I registered in the Koodo self serve successfully.However when I attempt the number porting process via koodomobile.com/changenumber, I always receive “error wrong account number” despite my information being accurate. (I’ve confirmed my account number is correct in both my bill and online account with Rogers). I’ve also tried with entering in the IMEI and also got that the account number is wrong?I called the Koodo porting center today at +1-844-232-7678 but the automated service was useless for helping me.After 3 days of trying different things I still can’t use my Koodo sim card and cannot cancel my Rogers account until the port is completed. And to top things, I’ve already been sent a bill by Koodo for this month…How do I get this issue resolved?

Hi  there, I was wondering if there is a safety mode that can be activated by Koodo on a phone.  The whole purpose is that the phone cannot be used except for making calls or receiving call.  No apps can be used and wifi cannot be used also.  It goes to be just using a phone.The person that told me I could do this says that this feature is available on R and B but I am hoping that Koodo will be able to assist with this. Thanks so much...Dave

I am in nl Canada my husband works in Spain, I added him to Easy Roam international from nl Canada, how do he activate it from Spain

Can I receive texts at no charge if I turn “Data Roaming” off ?Leave Wifi On?Leave Flight mode Off?Do not answer any phone calls?Easy roam is too expensive for me @ $11 /day and $240 / month + tax so I will not use it.My bank sends me a text to verify when I log into and need to get the text.Any advice, TIA.   

Do I need to contact a Rep or is there a way to do it through self serve?Actually the phone can make calls and data works so what is the importance of getting and entering this code? P.S. The phone was a refurbished so it most likely had a Sim card in it before. 

refer a friend credit not apply yet 3 month already

Looking for some advice.   Have already been in twice to Telus (who I suppose fixes/diagnoses/replaces CPO phones for koodo) this past 11 months.  First two times with screen separating issues.  The quality of phone call on the XS has been bad, to say the least the entire time, but it’s got to a point where I am sure it is and has always been a microphone issue. I had heard somewhere that Koodo would have to do something extreme like, maybe remove the phone from our tab/tab bonus if it needed to go in. a third time and it was deemed faulty?  Any advice or ideas on this?Thanks as always.Kurt

I purchased a new iphone11 online from Koodo. It keeps giving me a error message that iMessage didn’t activate. If I go to Koodo store where I live will they help me or tell me to call Koodo for assistance. 

Hello… Curious if anyone has ever try transferring their service plan with Koodo from sim to Esim? How did it go?

Trying to get a question answer and I get this Typeform pop up, what’s that all about

Upgrading phones from iPhone XR to iPhone 14 Plus. Can I transfer my SIM to an eSIM and keep the same number?

Hello… I’m getting a new phone which has Esim option if by chance I choose this method will it effect my service plan at all? I know there a $20 fee for Esim but what I like to know if my plan can get changed or will it stay the exact same way I have it now? Thanks

Hello I have read many of the threads about WIFI calling and it looks like I need to be flagged so a rep can fix my account. WIFI calling does not accept my phone number for e911 and I have tried all suggestions. I need this for work please help fastGalaxy s20

For the last few days I haven’t been able to send or receive MMS messages. Everything else seems to be working fine. I did change my plan recently, but the only change to my account should have been more data. I thought it was a problem with my APN settings, but they look to be right according to other links I’ve found while troubleshooting I think? I’ve tried clearing cache for both MIUI’s native messaging app and Google Messenger, but the problem persists with both. Any suggestions?  

When I signed up for Koodo, I used my legal first name, otherwise I’d run into problems with porting and the credit check etc. The problem is,  I go by my legal middle name. It’s confusing for people I call who don’t really know my first name when it shows up on their call display. Can I add my middle name to the account and then change the caller ID to that?

How can I schedule a call back? I know this is an option but it doesn’t seem clear how?

I’m wondering if I pick a perk and want to change it after a few months am I able to?

Hi,I’m a new monthly postpaid user so I’ve not run out of data but I cannot send SMS messages through iMessage.  I keep getting Failed to Send if I message an Android device.  Wifi, web surfing using data, phone calls, and blue text messaging all work..  Only sending SMS texts aren’t working.I just switched to Koodo since Apple no long supports pay per use data add ons.  With Petro-Canada mobility I had no problems sending the green SMS messages.  Switching to a cheap monthly plan makes the most sense except for this glitch.thanks in advance!

Received a text from>  admin@app.telus.com stating that due to a data-roaming usage error we have issued a return of $87.96 and to visit our customer portal to obtain a credit>  https://mobilitycustomerreturncenter.ink  Telus-Koodo-CanadaAnyone else get this? Real or scam?Thanks for any feedback

Why is it when I use my phone in a store my iPhone 13pro switches to 3G? Is it because of Koodo’s poor LTE coverage? What’s going to happen when 3G is dropped in Canada?
