Switched to koodo, phone won't work

I recently switched from koodo to fido, then back to Koodo. My phone can make outgoing calls, but it can’t receive texts, send texts, and all incoming calls go directly to voicemail. How can I fix this if the only way to contact koodo is to get a call back?

 

(not in ‘do not disturb’, not in focus mode, I reset netowork settings already, turned on & off again)

Your SIM card likely needs reactivation after the network switch. Try removing it for 30 seconds, reinserting it, then restart your phone. If that doesn't work, your number may not have fully ported back; check your Self Serve to confirm the port completed successfully. If the port shows "pending," schedule a callback through the virtual assistant (use keyword "callback") without needing to log in. They can manually push the activation through.

To confirm, did you respond yes to the port authorization sms message sent to you when you switched back to koodo?

How did you switch back, was it through a callback with a rep? Do you have access to self serve?

Robert, i cant recieve calls so i cant get a call back to speak with an agent, that's my problem.

Oliver, I responded yes and can make outgoing calls.

 

@Flo Koodo I've logged in via self serve, hope you can help because I'm stuck.

@Antaresia 

We have looked into it and it seems the transfer was cancelled.

Have you authorized the transfer request by replying to the 2FA sent to your Fido sim card?

 

If you go in self serve, you should be able to re-initiate the transfer process, please let us know if it works for you. Here are the steps to follow https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/moving-your-number-koodo
