If you’re having problems with your mobile phone or a feature isn’t working, the first thing you should do is check out our How To section or your mobile phone’s User Guide for help. If that doesn’t work, a Koodo Service Centre at any Koodo Shop is equipped to help you repair and replace your mobile phone.
The chart below should help you figure out what service you need and what it’ll cost.
Keep in mind that it’s your responsibility to record and erase all info (e.g. texts, images, ringtones, contacts, etc.) from a mobile phone you return to us. Loaner phones, and any other phones you return, may be used by other customers. Koodo Mobile is not responsible for any personal info left on a phone and will not guarantee that personal info left on a phone will be erased.
All Koodo mobile phones come with a 12 month Manufacturer’s Warranty, except our refreshed (refurbished) phones which only have a 90-day Manufacturer’s Warranty.

You can find a copy of the Manufacturer’s Warranty in your mobile phone’s box. Here are some things that aren’t covered by the Manufacturer’s Warranty:
Water Damage
Mobile phones aren’t swimmers. If they get wet, they have very little chance of surviving and are not covered by warranty.
Common causes for moisture damage include:
- Being dropped in water or on a wet car floor
- Spilling liquid on the phone
- Rain, fog or mist droplets
- Leaving the phone on moist surfaces like countertops
- Body perspiration, which can cause the main circuit board to rust
- Water condensation caused by leaving the phone in the bathroom while taking a shower, or by leaving the phone in a vehicle overnight
Things you should know:
- Problems caused by moisture may not occur immediately
- Often corrosion will appear on the phone charging port
- Only Reps at a Koodo Service Centre can open your phone to check for moisture damage.
Physical Damage
If your mobile phone is damaged due to neglect or abuse, it won’t be covered by the Manufacturer’s Warranty.
Some examples or physical damage include:
- Broken LCD screen
- Broken flip
- Damage to housing
- Broken charging port
- Warped internal components
- Bent / cracked main board
Things you should know:
- You can damage your phone by carrying it in a pocket, especially with other items like keys
- Damage can occur when a phone is repeatedly knocked by items in a purse, knapsack or briefcase
