Tips, Tricks & Troubleshooting

Years ago I transferred a Voice Over IP (VOIP) number to make it my permanent cell phone number.  It worked great except on rare occasions,  I encounter apps that still consider my number to be a VOIP number and refuse to accept the number. It happened with UBER and SnapChat in the past but they now accept VOIP number.  Today it happened again with ticketmaster. I can’t create an account as it said that my phone number is not supported.  There must be something the telco (Koodo) can do to mark my number as not a VOIP number but a cell number.   I am not sure where to go for help on this one. 

I recently got koodo internet.Everything is setup, the modem is showing full connection; wifi shows a green light, but I can’t access any webpage, other than the wifi router page.  Internet works when I connect directly to the modem.I’ve tried connecting through Lan 1 from my computer and still no success.They not send me attractivetion mail.  I can't find koodo on my wifi list.I don't know how to connect to it.Can anyone help please 🙏 

On my Koodo cell phone how can I increase incoming call rings from two to six

I tried accessing my voicemail from my wireless home phone yesterday and when prompted to press ‘1’ to check the new voicemails, it wouldn’t do anything. Then I would hang up the phone and try again and the voicemail menu would still be running. Today, the voicemail menu is still running when I hit the ‘talk’ button on the phone and I can’t even make a call out.

I resolved the issue myself but decided to post here anyway in case it helps someone else.I have an Android 13 phone with Koodo prepaid plan. Mobile data works on the phone itself, APN configured as specified at https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/setting-data-your-non-koodo-phoneMobile hotspot and USB tethering can share a WiFi connection but not the mobile LTE data. Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Access point namesI believe the entry labelled “TELUS ISP” of type dun is the source of the problem, but it cannot be edited or deleted, and I cannot create another entry of type dun to override it. SolutionEdit/create the APN specified at https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/setting-data-your-non-koodo-phoneand change MVNO type from None to GID (IMSI also works)For whatever reason this causes the other entries to disappear, and mobile data sharing via hotspot or tethering now works without issue.

why my name in iphone imessage chat say “maybe: name”?i also have a voicemail for my old number that i cant access and i cant get rid of the notification.the koodo onboarding is a solid 4/10 so far, 

as the title suggests. I cant seem to use the network for the new koodo sim card.i accepted “yes” to leave the old network. and my number successfully appears on my koodo self serve. but when i go to make a call I cant call or use any data on my phone now.in my esim settings on iphone i still see the original Koodo number they gave me for the new sim card…??my phone number that i want to use has no network.I also did not get a koodo welcome message to my new number that I ported over? waht is goin on here?

hello. i have an old iphone 4 and it is network locked to koodo. how can i unlock it so it reads other carrier sim cards. is there a carrier unlock code i can put into the phone or do have to go to the store and physically get it done. thanks

When I call a certain number in the 867 area code from my Koodo-powered cell phone I get an error message of the kind “sorry this call did not go through”. When I call the same number from another phone the call goes through and I hear the recorded announcement that is associated with that number.Is it my phone? Or is it Koodo? I’d lke to know who/what is messing up here, and if someone else with a Koodo account could call that number and let me know what they hear, that would be helpful.The number is **55 (area code shown at the top of this message). Many thanks!

I had prime but have since cancelled through Amazon and it's fully finished. However, I attempted to add Prime through Koodo prior to the cancellation. It appeared like it had gone through but had actually not and I got changed for prime via Amazon again and cancelled at that point. Now on my Amazon orders list shows an order of Prime by Koodo but it says it costs 0 dollars and is continuing to say that it will be shipped. When I attempt to link Prime by Koodo  through Stream + I now get an error stating "Activation error: this account is not eligible for this benefit." I have a feeling that the issue is the purchase on the order page that is just hanging there. I've contacted Amazon support a few times to remove the 0 dollar/obviously isn't going to ship purchase but that doesn't seem to be a thing they can do. Over a number of days they messaged the seller a few times "Amazon CA" for help and then to cancel but no response. They then gave me the customer service number for Koodo on t

after installing the koodo sim card i cannot receive or send pictures with mms messenger.  I can send text messages but no photos.  When i check the status of the phone it says IMS not reregistered.  any ideas on how to correct ?

How do you set up RCS in a iPhone 15 Pro Max that has a Koodo #

We have the wireless home phone. As I understand, it’s connected through LTE, not my home wireless. Suddenly, our phone has stopped working. Can’t dial out, can’t call in. The ZTE modem is showing red on the wireless icon. I’ve unplugged etc but nothing.

Hi guys, I have a low-rate data free plan.I made a quick post the other day and was instructed a bit about iMessaging and how that may be the culprit as to why I am not receiving SMS messages anywhere but in my network region. I followed all instructions, my spouse is using Bell but has iMessaging turned off as well. I am still not receiving messages from her when I am out of the house. I am getting pretty frustrated. I say ‘nerd’ because I am decent at figuring out electronics, and if not - Goggling and figuring out.I feel I am paying for a completely useless device in my pocket. I may need a serious walk-through as to how to simply get messages. Regular old messages.I am Koodo (Obviously). The main person I care about is my spouse and she is Bell, if that matters at all.I would love to know that I am also able to get messages from simply everyone. Carrier should not matter.This has been on-going since I’ve switched to Koodo. I am just about ready to run fast and far from Koodo unfort

I have been paying for this ridiculous service, with ridiculous customer service, for months now. I do NOT get text messages…...until I get home. ALWAYS. Yes I have an iPhone, yes I understand iMessaging, I do NOT get why I do NOT get ANY messages until I get home though? What’s up?Why am I paying? I literally want my money back. I am not a total cell phone geek guy, but I’m not technologically idiotic. There is no way and no reason I should not receive text messages for free, while out of the house, while off of my network. What the heck is going on?Yes I have an iPhone and my plan comes without data, so before anyone asks - there is your answer.Do I need data for simple text messages? No I do not. I am a former Bell user, and NEVER had a problem. This is so frustrating, I am paying monthly and carrying around an $800 piece of trash in my pocket. It does nothing!

Hi. I couldn't set up the number of rings before voicemail on my Samsung s22 ultra. I have those answers in koodo community *61*6475904011*11*8# . Does this support Samsung phones? S22 ultra? Please advise. Thanks,Chris

If I can hack my older phone and upgrade it to, say, Android 10; will that enable VoLTE capability?  Or is VoLTE dependent on both software AND hardware?

I’m on the IP login page, under authorization it says Username:Password:do I just enter the wifi name for the username?do I use the regular password or the admin password?

I am travelling to Europe soon and purchased an eSIM card with data, talk and text. I could remove the existing Koodo SIM card, but would like to continue to receive texts and WhatsApps. I see advice to turn off data roaming, but my eSIM specifically requires enabling data roaming.  Any advice?

Hi,For the past week my iPhone says TELUS. Everyone else I know who is on Koodo their iphones says Koodo. I know Telus owns Koodo but still. On the network selection I only have Telus, Bell and Videotron.How do I fix this?Thanks!

As the title states, I cannot connect my PS Portal to my ps5 because my mobile hotspot is NAT type 3, i have a Samsung Galaxy S24. At home my PS Portal connects to my PS5 no problem over Wi-Fi, but once I try to connect through my mobile hotspot it won't connect as Playstation requires NAT Type 2 to do anything. I have tried using my fiancé's mobile hotspot who is using a Galaxy S22 also on koodo and it worked fine on hers, hers was NAT Type 2, her plan isnt a 5G plan though, only 4G/LTE. I have tried using my iPhone 13 with my Sim and it was NAT type 3 and wouldn't work. I have also tried an older Galaxy S8 with my Sim card and it was fine, connected no issues NAT type 2. So what gives? Is it the 5G? I am disappointed as I cannot use my Portal away from home. I travel alot in the summer for sports and that's the main reason I got the Portal. Now it feels like a waste!

Hello, I’m all of a sudden having issues with my phone connecting to my condo intercom system so I can allow visitors into the building. When I select my name on the intercom system, I get the message “Line not connected please check line or try again”. I have put a service request in to fix it, but I was also told it could be something on Koodo end? It did connect to the phone successfully near the end of last month (June 27)  

I am looking at purchasing an unlocked Xiaomi 14 Ultra but before I did, I wanted to make sure it would work on the Koodo network. A quick search on kimovil says 2/3 of the 5G bands are compatible and 3/4 of the 4G bands are. This leads me to think it would be. I wanted to double check whether the phone would be supported but also see if anyone has this phone and how they like it so far.
