  <h3>How do I check if my Google device is working?</h3>
  </div>
<div class="content">
When you say, “Hey Google” to your Google device you should see the lights on the top appear to indicate it has heard you. If you don’t see the lights, check the power connection to make sure the device has a power supply and try again. Depending on the device you are using (Google Home vs. Google Mini), different colours and speeds of flashing lights mean different things. If you are having difficulties getting your device to work visit Google Home Help to troubleshoot your device and better understand what issue your device may be having.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3>How do I check if my Google device is connected to internet?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Google devices like your Google Home are programmed to give educated feedback. This means that if the device is not connected to wifi, it will tell you. You can also try asking Google a simple question like, “what is the weather?” It should tell you the weather in your location. If it doesn’t, then go to Google Home app and follow the steps to setup a Google device.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3>What is the difference between the Google Payments Password and my Voice PIN?</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="content">
The Koodo Voice PIN is used to authenticate you as a user when you want to inquire about your account on Google Home (ie. What is my bill or how much data have I used).
<br>
When you want to make a purchase over the Google Assistant, your Google Payments Password (or Touch ID) will be used to provide consent to the purchase. Please note that any purchases that are made in the Koodo Action will go directly to your Koodo Bill, not to your credit card on file with Google.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
<h3>How can I change my PIN?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
If you need to reset your voice PIN for any reason you can take these steps:
<br>
1. Start by saying, “Hey Google, open Koodo”<br>
2. Once you’re in Koodo say, “Change my PIN”<br>
3. If you know your current Voice PIN you can now provide that and you will be prompted to create a new one<br>
4. If you don’t know your current Voice PIN, request a reset PIN. You can do this by saying, “Reset my PIN”<br>
5. Go to the email associated with your Koodo MyAccount Login. Here you’ll find a temporary PIN which is valid for 30 minutes<br>
6. Use your temporary PIN within 30 minutes to complete steps 1-3 (with your temporary PIN acting as your current PIN in Step 3)<br>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3>How do I check if my Koodo account is linked to my Google device?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Say “Hey Google, Open Koodo”
<br>
  <h3>Your account is NOT linked if you hear this message:</h3> “Welcome to Koodo. I can help you with current deals, contact Koodo and Help. To get the full experience, please link your Koodo account on Google Home App”
<br>
<h3>Your account IS linked if you hear this message:</h3> "Welcome to Koodo. I can help you with billing, data, travel, current deals, call or message your friends. What would you like to do?”
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3>How can I check that a data package or roaming pass has been added to my account?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Koodo Action confirms the transaction on the Google device and sends you a confirmation message. If for whatever reason, you don’t get a confirmation message you can go to self-serve portal to check the status of your account. There you will be able to see if the data package or the roaming passes has been added to your account.

### What is Wireless Public Alerting / Alert Ready?

[Alert Ready](https://www.alertready.ca/ "Alert Ready") is a service designated to deliver critical, potentially lifesaving alert messages to Canadians.

The system was developed in partnership with federal, provincial, and territorial emergency management officials, Pelmorex Corp, the broadcast industry, and wireless service providers, including Koodo, to ensure you receive emergency alerts immediately and know when to take action to keep you and your family safe.  

Beginning April 6, 2018, Koodo and all Canadian wireless service providers will be required to broadcast emergency alerts received from alerting authorities directly to consumers’ [WPA compatible wireless devices](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/wireless-public-alerting-compatible-devices "WPA compatible wireless devices") using Cell Broadcasting distribution.

Wireless service providers will only receive and broadcast alerts that are issued for __threat to life situations.__

Emergency alerts intended for wireless devices are issued to a defined geographic area, which can be as small as a few city blocks, so that only people in the defined area receive the emergency alerts. The defined area is selected by the alerting authorities. [Compatible wireless devices](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/wireless-public-alerting-compatible-devices "Compatible wireless devices") in the targeted area, including devices that are roaming, will receive the emergency alerts within seconds of alert issuance, provided the devices are powered on and connected to the LTE cellular network. If you're travelling outside of Canada to a country that has a functional wireless alerting service, you may receive alerts issued to the geographic location you're in.

You __can't opt out__ of receiving threat-to-life emergency alerts.<br><br>

### What do wireless public alerts look like?

While the alerts may look like text messages, they're not text messages and are not billed like text messages, nor do they count towards data usage. Emergency alerts begin with a distinct sound, known as the Canadian Alert Attention Signal, and may also cause the device to vibrate.

On compatible wireless devices, the emergency alert will display an __EMERGENCY ALERT/ALERTE D’URGENCE__ banner with information describing the situation and instructions on what actions to take and where to learn more. At the top of each emergency alert, the issuing government agency will be clearly indicated.

As a general rule, emergency alerts will only be issued once. In the event that the issuing government has an update to the original alert, you'll receive updated alert messages.

__Note:__ On November 20, 2024, you'll receive a test alert that allows the government to ensure the system is working as expected. The test alert text will clearly indicate that it's a __test alert.__

If you're a person with a sight or hearing disability, alternate formats of emergency alert can be issued. Emergency alerts may be read to the recipient, if their device supports this accessibility feature, and the vibration feature that accompanies emergency alerts sent to wireless devices will help make hearing-impaired persons aware of alerts. For more information on accessibility features, contact your device manufacturer.

For more information, take a look at these [frequently asked questions](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/alert-ready-frequently-asked-questions "frequently asked questions").

Alert Ready sends emergency alerts to your phone. Find out more about Wireless Public Alerting here.

4. Follow the rest of the steps to proceed to the Checkout. Once you see a screen with your confirmation number, you’re all done - sit back and wait for your new phone and/or SIM to arrive!

If you’ve explored Self Serve and chatted with our digital rep but simply couldn’t be wooed by our enticing offers, as you head out please keep in mind that:

1. You'll need to pay any outstanding bills and charges to your account.

2. If your Tab balance has not been paid off and/or you still have a remaining Tab Bonus balance, you’ll be charged the remaining Tab and/or Tab Bonus balance (subject to any applicable adjustments) on your next bill. You can log into Self Serve to find your remaining Tab and Tab Bonus balances.

3. If you're planning to move your number to another provider, you'll need to keep your Koodo account open until this process has been completed, so you don’t lose your number.

4. You'll be able to access your Self Serve for 90 days after cancellation. After 90 days, you won't be able to access your account, and you'll need to contact us in order to complete a payment.

If you'd like more information about cancelling your Koodo services, please schedule a callback through __[Koodo Assist](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help?autobots=rollout)__.

  <h3> Transferring your number to another provider (porting out)? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

We’re sad to see you go, but we won’t leave you high and dry. Before you leave, here’s some important information to keep in mind:

1. There’s no need to call us to cancel; once your new service provider has completed your number transfer (port-out), your Koodo line will automatically be cancelled.

2. You’ll receive a final bill from Koodo in your Self Serve account as well as an email confirming your cancellation.

3. __Receiving a credit after cancelling your Koodo services:__ If you have a credit balance on a cancelled account, no payment is required. Refunds for any amount above $5 for unused days will be automatically processed within seven days from the first bill after cancellation. The refund will be issued to the payment method on file. For any other payment method, including Visa Debit, a cheque will be mailed to you.

__Heads up!__ You might notice an interruption in some services for up to __4 hours__ after a mobile number transfer and for up to __2 days__ after a landline number transfer. This entails possibly receiving some of your services (SMS, texts, calls, etc.) on your Koodo SIM card and some on your new service provider’s SIM card until the transfer is complete. 

If you continue to experience interrupted service past these allotted times, please contact your new service provider for assistance.

If you have a Tab and/or Tab Bonus balance with Koodo, you can use [Tab carryover](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/carrying-your-tab-from-koodo-to-telus) to convert those balances to TELUS Easy Payment and Device Discount balances and continue making monthly payments towards your device with TELUS.

- You can move your service to TELUS and carry over your Tab at any TELUS or Koodo store, authorized dealer, retailer, or over the phone with our sales and support teams. In some cases, a credit check may be required to activate your new TELUS service.

- You must complete at least 90 days of your current Tab agreement before being able to transfer balances to TELUS. 

- Your plan on TELUS must maintain the same minimum monthly rate plan spend that was required for your Tab with Koodo.

- To carry your Tab balance to TELUS, both TELUS and Koodo account holders must approve: 

  - If you're not the holder of the Koodo account, please ensure that the Koodo account holder or an authorized user is available to approve the transaction. 

  - If you're creating a new account with TELUS, you'll be the account holder. If you're adding a line to an existing TELUS account, the holder of that account must approve the new line.

Before cancelling your account, there are a few things you need to know. Check them out here. 

Things to know about cancelling your Koodo services

Only certain customers on an account have the authority to make changes to the account. This includes:

- Adding, moving or changing account features
- Adding, moving or changing a rate plan
- Cancelling an account
- Modifying the settings on an account
- Activating a line on an account
- Transferring ownership of an account ([TOWN](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/transfer-of-ownership-town))
- Having the capability to make international calls
- Requesting hardware upgrades and wireless migrations
- Resetting a password

__Note:__ Only an account owner can add lines, cancel an account, or do a TOWN.

It is possible for more than one person to have permission to make changes. Each additional person with authority to make changes on the account must be added by someone who already has authority - starting with the account owner. <br><br>

### __Why do you need authority to make changes on an account?__
Customers need authority to make changes on an account. This is so that only specific people can make any changes that would alter services or incur charges. This helps to make sure that there are no unexpected surprises on a monthly bill.<br><br>

### __How can I give authority to someone on my account?__

1. Log in to your [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Self Serve") account

- __To change the role for an account:__ Self Serve dropdown menu > My profile > Mobility > Account access > People and Permissions > Manage

- __To change the roles associated with data settings:__ Self Serve dropdown menu > My profile > Mobility > Data Settings > Notifications & blocks > Manage<br><br>

### __What can someone without authority do to make changes on an account?__
Customers without authority will need to speak to someone on the account with authority in order to make changes.<br><br>

VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is available for Koodo Prepaid customers.

## What is VoLTE?
VoLTE is the next step in wireless calling and it comes with some awesome benefits. Koodo customers with a compatible phone will be able to __make and receive calls over our faster Koodo LTE network__ instead of the HSPA network. With VoLTE you’ll get:

- Simultaneous use of voice and LTE data
- Awesome sound quality when calling another VoLTE-enabled device
- Faster call set-up time
- More innovative solutions: Customers will have access to next generation services

## What’s different?

- Previously, data was carried over LTE when you weren't on a voice call. 
- If you were on a voice call, then your data was transmitted __using the slower 3G speeds__. 
- Now, with VoLTE, your data will be carried over LTE even when you’re on a voice call.

## Where is VoLTE available?
VoLTE services are currently available nationally, except for the province of Saskatchewan.

VoLTE E911 is available in all VoLTE-enabled areas. In areas where VoLTE E911 is not available, customers are still able to make standard 911 calls.

  <div class="collapsible">
  <h3> How do I activate and use VoLTE on my phone?  </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

The following is required to enable VoLTE on your phone and make and receive VoLTE calls: 

1. __A VoLTE-certified phone__ *(most phones sold by Koodo after 2018 are VoLTE-capable within Canada and the US). Some device manufacturers have common device names but separate model numbers for different countries (with unique technical specifications or software). If you brought your own device to Koodo, please note that all model numbers may not be compatible with the Koodo VoLTE network.*

2. __The latest software version__ *(most new phones and latest software versions come with VoLTE settings that are turned ON by default. For more instructions on other Apple/Android devices and software please see below)*

3. __A phone restart__ 

4. __Being in a VoLTE-enabled coverage area__ *(see our full coverage [list](http://koodomobile.com/en/network))*

As long as you meet these requirements, you should be able to use VoLTE automatically. All calls will be carried over to the Koodo LTE network.

__Note:__ Select phones may work on VoLTE (within Canada) but not in the US (while roaming). 

  For a list of devices and model numbers that __support VoLTE on the Koodo network in Canada and while roaming__, please see the tables below. 

  For a list of phones that are supported by Koodo VoLTE network in Canada but __don’t support VoLTE roaming__, please see the “Which phones don’t support VoLTE roaming?” section below.<br><br>

## On an Apple device:

To enable LTE on an iPhone __running iOS 14.4 or older__:

1. Go to __Settings__
2. Select __Cellular__
3. Select __Cellular data options__
4. Select __Voice & Data__
5. Select __LTE, VoLTE on__

iPhone users with iOS 12 or older releases can enable VoLTE through __Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Enable LTE > Voice & Data__.<br><br>

## On an Android device:

The settings vary slightly between models and operating systems. Below are the most common settings found to enable LTE.

__Tip:__ If you're viewing this page on your mobile phone, rotate your phone screen/turn on auto-rotate to see the full table.

  <h3> FAQ  </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__1. Do I have to pay more for using VoLTE?__

No. All your voice usage will be billed according to your Koodo Prepaid plan, so you won't be using any of your monthly data allowance.

__Note:__ VoLTE E911 is available in all VoLTE-enabled areas. In areas where VoLTE and E911 are not available, customers can still make standard 911 calls.

__2. Will VoLTE use up my data?__

No. VoLTE voice calls will be treated as regular voice calls and will not affect your data usage.

__3. Can I roam with VoLTE?__

Phones that are VoLTE roaming-capable (please see the “Which phones don’t support VoLTE roaming?” section below) with the latest software installed will be able to place and receive calls over the LTE network instead of the HSPA network while roaming in the U.S. 

If there isn’t any VoLTE coverage, or if you don't have a VoLTE roaming-enabled device, you’ll continue roaming on the HSPA network. VoLTE roaming rates will be the same as current HSPA roaming rates.

__4. Can I use Koodo Prepaid U.S. Booster add-ons to roam in the U.S. with a 3G KPRE plan on VoLTE?__

Yes. US roaming Booster add-ons will work with both 3G and 4G KPRE plans on VoLTE.

__5. Why is VoLTE roaming important?__

United States carriers have turned down 3G/HSPA networks. As a result, customers using U.S. roaming add-ons will be impacted by differences in coverage or service quality (including 9-1-1 calls and location-based short codes). Customers may also experience changes to services such as welcome messages, voicemail notifications, usage notifications for voice, notifications when trying to make an international call as well as the ability to set up voicemail while in the U.S. This shutdown will not impact your service in Canada.

__6. Will my phone work on the Koodo VoLTE network?__

All new phones sold by Koodo in 2018 or later, and most sold in Canada, will work on the Koodo VoLTE network. Some device manufacturers have common device names but separate model numbers for different countries (with unique technical specifications or software). If you brought your own device to Koodo, please note that all model numbers may not be compatible with the Koodo VoLTE network.

On Android phones, you can find this information in __Settings > About Phone__

  <h3> What’s considered long distance and what’s not? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

### For outgoing calls

When you make a call from your Koodo phone under a Canada-wide plan, your physical location doesn't matter. You can make a call to any number within Canada from anywhere in Canada, and it's considered a local call. The only time it's a long-distance call is if you're dialing a number that's __outside of Canada.__

### For incoming calls

When you receive a call on your Koodo phone with a Canada-wide plan, it doesn't matter where you are or where the call is coming from. __All calls received while you’re in Canada__ are considered local calls. 

__Note:__ For more details about using your Koodo phone outside of Canada, please visit our [Easy Roam](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/easy-roam) page.

  <h3> FAQ </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__How do I dial a long-distance/international number?__

 There are 2 ways to make an international call: 
- Access code: 011-Country Code-Phone Number
- Plus dialing (Long press 0 to dial +): +Country Code-Phone number

So, for example, a call to Hong Kong would be 011-852-Phone number or +852-Phone number <br><br>

__How can I block outgoing calls to the U.S?__

There’s no option to block outgoing calls to the U.S, but if you dial a U.S. number in the 10-digit format, i.e. (3-digit area code) 123-4567, you'll hear an announcement that long-distance charges will be applied.<br><br>

__Will I get long-distance charges if I receive international calls through WhatsApp?__

No, long-distance charges are not applicable to WhatsApp, because these calls are handled like data.<br><br>

__How can I check how many long-distance minutes I’ve used?__

To view your long-distance airtime usage, you can log in to Self Serve. 

1. From the __Self Serve__ dropdown menu, select __Usage__.  
2. Under __Airtime__, select __View details__. 
3. From the __Show__ dropdown menu, select __Long distance__. <br><br>

__Which USA area codes are not included in the $15 plan?__

The following area codes will no longer be included in the Unlimited U.S. Calling add-on and will be billed at the standard pay-per-use rate:

- 712-432 (Lake Park, Iowa)
- 605-562 (Oglala, South Dakota)
- 605-475 (Redfield, South Dakota)
- 712-775 (Carroll, Iowa)
- 559-726 (Sanger, California)
- 530-881 (Verdi, California)

U.S. calling is set at 80 cents per minute without a calling package. With the long-distance saver feature, this is dropped to 5 cents per minute. There are also other calling features and packages that include varying amounts of coverage to call the U.S. <br><br>

__Do I need to inform you if I move within my province? Will it affect my bill?__ 

If you have a local calling only plan then yes; however, most of the plans we offer include nationwide calling, in which case moving within the province does not impact long-distance rates. <br><br>

__If I’m abroad and I receive a call from Canada but my voicemail answers, will I be charged?__

No, you’re only billed for SMS, data, and voice minutes used. If you receive a call but let it go to voicemail, you won’t incur a charge. __Note:__ If you check your voicemail when you're outside of Canada, you’ll have roaming charges on your bill. <br><br>

__At which times of the day can I make long-distance calls within Canada without incurring extra costs?__

If your plan is a Canada-wide unlimited plan, you get unlimited calling anywhere in Canada 24/7. <br><br>

__Will I be charged for receiving an incoming international call?__

No, it is the caller that is charged. <br><br>

__Which category does the call fall under, if you call from another country (for example, a European country) to Canada or to another European country?__

Calls made from European countries to Canada or abroad are applied at the international rates. <br><br>

__If I buy the unlimited US long-distance plan and the person I’m calling is traveling abroad, will there be other fees for me?__

Your call will be free, because we bill based on the US number you dialed. The person that you called may incur other charges when traveling abroad, which will not affect billing of your call. <br><br>

__I have a Canada-wide plan at no charge. Can I call a Canadian snowbird in the US at no charge?__  

Your call will be free, because we bill based on the Canadian number you dialed. Your Canadian snowbird friend may incur other charges when traveling to the US, which will not affect the billing of your call. <br><br>

__What’s the difference between Long Distance and Roaming?__

__Long Distance:__ This term is all about the __destination__ of your call. When you're in Canada and __you dial a number that's outside of Canada__, that's considered a long-distance call.

__Roaming:__ This term is all about __your location__ when you're making or receiving a call. Roaming comes into play when __you are physically outside of Canada__, regardless of where you're calling to or receiving a call from.

1. The airtime required to connect your calls is drawn from your anytime minutes.  If you exceed your anytime minutes, an overage rate of $0.60/min applies.
2. Calls to satellite phones are charged per the satellite provider rates and are not based on the country the call terminates.
3. Calls must originate from within Canada. Anytime minutes apply. The airtime required to connect your calls is drawn from your anytime minutes. If you exceed your anytime minutes, the overage rate will be $0.60/min plus the per-minute rate for the country you’re calling (Long Distance Saver rates if you have the add-on, Pay-per-use rates otherwise).

1. [Log in to your Self Serve account.](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Log in to your Self Serve account.")
2. Select __Self Serve__ at the top of the screen, and select __Mobile services__ from the drop-down menu.
3. Your current plan will be shown. To change it, select __Change my plan__ and follow the steps.

Woohoo! You’ve changed your rate plan. We’ll send you a confirmation email.

__Note:__ If you change your rate plan, your existing data add-ons may fall off.

### Rate plan change eligibility
The following also applies to rate plan change offers/special promotions:

- You can change your rate plan up to three times per billing cycle.
- Your [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve) account will show you all the rate plans you can switch to. If you don't see a particular plan you're interested in, it's likely because your current profile doesn’t qualify you, and you may be required to upgrade to a new phone on a Tab.
- The availability of rate plans depends on things like your Tab or any special promotions you received when you signed up. Eligible rate plan options can vary over time, depending on what’s available at the time you want to change your plan.
- You might need to pay off your remaining Tab and/or Tab Bonus balance before switching to another rate plan. See our [Tab FAQs](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/everything-you-need-know-about-tab "Tab FAQs") for more information.

If you experience any issues, please schedule a callback through [Koodo Assist](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help?autobots=rollout) and a rep will be happy to help you.<br><br>

Making changes to your Koodo rate plan won't impact your Tab balance, as long as the rate plan meets the Tab eligibility requirements.<br><br>

  <h3> FAQ </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__1. When will my new plan start to work on my phone?__

If you make a rate plan change, the new plan will usually take effect right away, but you might need to wait for up to 15 minutes.<br><br>

__2. Why did my promotional bill credit get removed?__

Promotional credits, including bill credits, are discretionary and eligibility requirements for credits may vary. Typically, promotional credits are awarded based on the eligibility of the rate plan you activate on. If you change rate plans, or complete a renewal or upgrade, bill credits may be removed. We may check your eligibility from time to time, and if you become ineligible to receive a discount, promotion or benefit for any reason, we may remove it without prior notice.<br><br>

__3. Does changing my rate plan impact my phone number, if I’m new to Koodo?__

Changing your rate plan has no impact on your current phone number. If you’re a new Koodo customer and need to port your number to Koodo, please go to Koodo Assist to get help from our digital rep.

RCS messaging sends messages over Wi-Fi or cellular data when Wi-Fi is unavailable, rather than through traditional SMS. This means, if you do not have a data plan and are not connected to Wi-Fi, your messages will be sent as SMS, or you may incur pay-per-use data charges when using RCS messaging.
</div>
<div class="collapsible">
  <h3>Can I use RCS messaging only when I'm connected to Wi-Fi?</h3>

Call Control helps reduce unwanted calls by prompting incoming callers to enter a randomly-generated number (0-9), which the caller must enter correctly before the call can be connected. Callers with no response (e.g. robo-dialers) or an incorrect response won’t be able to complete the call and will hear a standard Call Control message instead.

This feature also lets you manage preferences and maintain lists of Authorized and Blocked Callers on the __Call Control__ page in Self Serve.

Call Control is free and optional.<br><br>  

__How do I add the Call Control feature?__

You can add Call Control through Self Serve: 

1. Log in to your [Self Serve](http://koodo.com/selfserve) account 
2. From the Self Serve dropdown menu, select __Mobile services__
3. On the Mobile services page, select __Manage add-ons.__ 
4. Locate the "Call Control" add-on, then select __Add to plan.__

__Note:__ Once Call Control has been added to your account, you can turn it on or off whenever you like: 

1. From the “Mobile services” page in Self Serve, locate and select __Call Control.__ 
2. __To turn on the feature:__ On the “Call Control” page, select "Start Using Call Control" 
3. __To turn off the feature:__ There will be a toggle button under your phone number or under the "Select subscriber" dropdown. Simply toggle the button to the off position to remove Call Control from the account or the line. <br><br> 

__Managing Call Control with IVR__ 

Call Control can also be managed with IVR (Interactive Voice Response): Dial __* 99__ for English prompts.

IVR can be used to:

- Turn Call Control on
- Turn Call Control off
- Move any of your last 3 callers to your Allowed or Blocked list<br><br> 

__How do I add phone numbers to my Authorized and Blocked Callers list?__

When you turn on Call Control, you can assign, add, or remove phone numbers from your Authorized and Blocked Callers lists. There are a few ways to do this:

1.	Through your Call Log, you will see your 10 most recent incoming callers and can assign them to either your Authorized Callers list or your Blocked Callers list.
2.	You can go to your Authorized Callers and Blocked Callers lists directly and choose to add or remove phone numbers from your lists.
3.	You can move a phone number from your Blocked list to your Authorized list and vice versa.<br><br>

__What happens when I add a phone number to my Authorized Callers list?__

Callers in your Authorized Callers list will not be asked to answer the numerical prompt when they call you - they’ll get connected directly to you.<br><br>

__What happens when I add a phone number to my Blocked Callers list?__

Callers in your Blocked Callers list won’t have their calls completed and will get a standard Call Control message.<br><br>

__How many phone numbers can I add to my Authorized Callers list and Blocked Callers list?__

You can add 25 phone numbers to your Authorized Callers list and 25 phone numbers to your Blocked Callers list.<br><br> 

__If an incoming caller enters the correct number, will they be presented with a numerical prompt the next time they call?__

Call Control will remember your most recent incoming calls, so these callers will not be prompted to enter a number, unless it’s been a long period since they called. To ensure your trusted and most frequent callers don’t get prompted to enter a randomly-generated number each time they call you, please add these phone numbers to your Authorized Callers list.<br><br>

__If an incoming caller enters an incorrect number, will they be presented with a numerical prompt when they call again, or will they get the standard Call Control message?__

Yes, if incoming callers enter an incorrect number, they’ll be prompted again to enter one of the randomly-generated numbers. If they enter the number incorrectly a second time, they can call back and try again.

To keep unwanted callers away, add them to your Blocked Callers list.<br><br>

__What if there are some robo-dialers or other callers that I want to be able to get a hold of me, but I’m concerned they won’t be able to pass the challenge? For example: family members, school office, doctor’s office, etc).__

Please add these phone numbers to your Authorized Callers list to prevent them from being prompted to enter a randomly-generated number.

Receive voicemail as text messages or emails

Say goodbye to unexpected data charges thanks to notifications and data pauses. Customers who don’t want to receive data usage notifications can turn them off in their [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Self Serve") account.

### __What is Shock-Free® Data?__
Shock-Free® Data lets you be in control of your own data usage so you can avoid unexpected charges. That means you’ll never go over your data again without knowing. We’ll send you a text when you’re at 50%, 90% and 100% of your data usage.

When you reach your limit, we’ll pause your data so you don’t go over, which means no surprises on your bill.

### __Plans including Shock-Free data__
All monthly Koodo plans as of March 10, 2016, include Shock-Free data at no extra charge. To see if you have Shock-Free data, you can log in to [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Self Serve") and check your plan description.

If you’re an existing customer without Shock-Free data, you’ll need to change your plan by logging in to Self Serve or renewing your Tab.

### Paused data & buying data top-ups
You can top up your data directly from your Koodo phone with these two options ([authorized users](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/permissions) can make purchases; unauthorized users will only receive the usage notification without an option to top up):

1. Send a text message to 5337 with keyword YES to use your plan’s data pay-per-use rate.
2. Send a text message to 5337 with keyword 17YES to add a data top-up of 500MB for $21 and 25YES to add a data top-up of 1GB for $29. 

If you buy data and use it all up, it will be paused again. You can choose to continue using your data, but you’ll be charged your plan’s data pay-per-use rate.

You can only buy and use top-ups within the same bill cycle; your data will reset with the start of a new bill cycle. Any leftover data can’t be carried over to the next cycle.

Top ups can't be purchased proactively. To change your data limit, you’ll first need to change to a plan that offers more data. Log in to Self Serve to see the latest available plans.

### __Turning off your data alerts__
Data alerts can be turned off in your Self Serve account. If you turn them off, you won’t receive any more data alerts at 50%, 90% and 100% of usage. That means you won't be blocked when you go over your data limit and you’ll continue using data with our pay-per-use rates.

Shock-Free® Data with Koodo lets you be in control of your data usage. Check out this page to learn more.

Shock-Free® Data

Inbound Call Display+ shows you the name of the people who call you (including non-Koodo customers), even if they’re not in your contacts. The caller’s information is displayed on the screen of your phone during an incoming call. You don’t need to subscribe for the service - it’s totally free to all Koodo customers with a compatible mobile phone. Prior to Call Display+ your phone would display the phone number, but not the name of the incoming caller.

### Where is Inbound Call Display+ available?

- If you’ve got a compatible phone and the callers’ network sends out their name, your phone will be able to display both the caller’s number and name on all incoming calls including Call Waiting calls. If the callers’ network does not send out their name, your phone will only display the caller’s number.
- Inbound Call Display+ might not work under roaming.

### Permanently disable Inbound Call Display+

You can permanently disable Inbound Call Display+ by [contacting us](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/contact-us?INTCMP=KMNew_FooterLINK_ContactUs_ContactUs). This means that the name and the number of the caller will not be shown on the screen of your phone for all incoming calls.

### Outbound Calling Name Display

Outbound Calling Name Display is an enhanced feature, which will allow you to display your name on the screen of the device of the person that you call, in addition to the calling number. You need to subscribe for the service - it’s totally free to all Koodo customers.

### Permanent Blocking of Outbound Calling Name Display

Outbound Calling Name Display feature is independent from Call Display+. If you want to permanently block __only Outbound Calling Name Display__ (after you’ve subscribed for it), please [contact Koodo](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/contact-us?INTCMP=KMNew_FooterLINK_ContactUs_ContactUs) to remove this feature from your subscriber profile. If you want to __block both Outbound Calling Name and Calling Number__, contact Koodo to set up permanent blocking of Outbound Calling Number Display, i.e. Call Display. In this case, both Outbound Calling Name and Calling Number will be blocked.

### One-time blocking of Outbound Calling Name Display

You can activate one-time blocking of Outbound Calling Name Display by dialing #31# before the number of the person you’re calling, followed by pressing either the Send or Talk key. You can also set up the blocking on some phones via their menu. For example, on the iPhone, you can turn off ‘Show My Caller ID’ under the Phone menu.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> FAQ </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__1. Is it possible for outbound calls to show a name instead of a number? If yes, how can I change the way my name appears when I make outbound calls? (I have a recycled phone number)__

Yes, your name will be displayed after we launch the Outbound Calling Name Display feature. This may be a chargeable feature. Your name will be extracted from your account information. It will be the name of the Account Holder and cannot be changed.<br><br>

__2. Are there any charges for using function # 31 #?__

No, there are no changes. You can still use #31# to block Calling Name and Calling Number on per-call basis. Both Calling Name and Calling Number will be blocked at the same time.<br><br>

__3. How can I make sure my location won’t appear when somebody calls my number?__

Our network won’t show your location when somebody calls you.<br><br>

__4. When I call someone and I'm not in their contacts list, they see the wrong name on their display.__

Going forward, the name registered in your account will be used for display.<br><br>

__5. What is the difference between “Network default,” “Hide number,” and “Show number?”__

- By default, the network setting is __‘Show Number.’__

- __Hide number__ means that you can block your number from being displayed on the phone of the person you’re calling.

- __Show number__ means that your number will be displayed on the phone of the person you’re calling.<br><br>

__6. I pay the Koodo phone bill, but the phone is my spouse’s line. How can we get his name to come up when he calls people?__

The name registered in your account will be used for display. Currently, we don’t support the option to change the Calling Name to be displayed.<br><br>

__7. Why is my call display different while dialling international numbers?__

The call display should be the same when you call an international number, but it depends on the operator that handles the call on the call recipient’s end.<br><br>

__8. What does "call display restrict" mean?__

This means that you can block your name and number from being displayed on the device of the person you're calling.<br><br>

__9. Are there any charges for entering #31# to block my name from being displayed on someone’s phone?__

No, there are no changes for dialling #31# in front of the number you’re calling to block the display for that call. You can still use #31# to block Calling Name and Calling Number on a per-call basis. Both Calling Name and Calling Number will be blocked at the same time. <br><br>

__10. When I call my clients, I need them to see my business name, not my own name. Is that possible?__

This is currently not possible. The name registered in your account will be used for display. We don’t support the option to change the Calling Name to be displayed.<br><br>

__11. What about calls marked as private, unknown, or anonymous?__

The caller is likely using the "Anonymous Caller ID" service that masks their caller information. You are provided with the option to answer the call or to send the caller to voicemail.

- __Premium Voicemail:__ Increase voicemail storage to hold up to 25 messages, and gain access to Instant Voicemail to send voicemails to your device via MMS. 
- __Unlimited International SMS:__ Send and receive unlimited international SMS and MMS from Canada free of charge. 
- __Rollover Data:__ Keep any of your unused data from your plan and roll it over into the next month.
- __Unlimited Long Distance Pack:__ You can call friends in 27 countries from anywhere in Canada. Included countries: United States, China, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Bangladesh, United Kingdom, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan. 
- __Unlimited Data:__ The Unlimited Data perk allows you to use as much data as you like while in Canada and never be charged data overages. After your plan’s high-speed data is used, your maximum speed will be reduced to a maximum of 512 Kbps for the rest of your billing cycle. This means you’ll still be able to browse the Internet and use email, but video quality will be reduced and other high-bandwidth applications will take longer to load. Available only to existing customers on 5G speed plans. For more info, check out Koodo’s Network Traffic Management Policy at koodo.com/NTMP.1 
- __5G Speed Boost:__ Double your 5G speed limit with up to 500 Mbps download speed. Available only to existing customers on 5G speed plans.

  <h3> Pick Your Perk FAQs </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__1. Why is Koodo adding these plans?__

At Koodo, we’re all about letting customers choose what makes them happy. Letting them pick a free perk is just another way for us to do that.

__2. Can I get these plans with TELUS?__ 

Nope! Pick Your Perk Plans are only at Koodo. But since we’re a part of the TELUS family, Koodo customers still have access to TELUS’ great network that has you covered from coast-to-coast. 

__3. Can I get these plans if I bring my own phone?__

Yup! All Pick Your Perk plans are available to all Koodo customers, even if you bring your own phone.

__4. Can I add more than one feature?__

Depending on the Pick Your Perk Plan you choose, you’ll be able to add __one perk at no extra cost__. Any of the perk options that are available for that plan can be purchased as an add-on within Self Serve. Just like Koodo’s existing add-ons, additional perk selections will be billed monthly and can be added or dropped at any time. 

__5. Are these plans available online?__

You bet. You can activate a Pick Your Perk plan online. After that, you’ll need to access Self Serve to add your perk.

__6. Will I be able to change my perk?__

You can change up your perk from month to month in Self Serve. __Heads up:__ this change will take effect at the start of your next bill cycle. 

__7. Can I add or change my perk in the middle of the month?__

You can select a different free perk in Self Serve at any time, but the change won’t take effect until the start of your next bill cycle. If you add additional perks at an extra cost, those will operate the same way as other Koodo add-ons (which means they can be added or removed from your account immediately).

__8. What is Premium Voicemail?__

Premium Voicemail is the combination of two voicemail features: The first is Voicemail 25, which increases your voicemail storage to 25 messages (an increase from the standard 10). The second is Instant Voicemail, which delivers an audio file of your voice messages to your phone via text.

__9. Can I access Pick Your Perk features with my current Koodo plan/a non-Pick Your Perk plan?__

Only customers with a Pick Your Perk Plan will have access to the free perk choice.

__10. When do feature changes take effect immediately vs first day of next bill cycle? How does this impact my features?__

If you’re upgrading or downgrading your plan and changing your free perk, the change will take effect immediately. If you’re changing your free perk but sticking to the same rate plan, the change will take effect on the first day of your next bill cycle. Any changes made to additional perk add-ons will always take effect immediately.

Switching off Rollover Data will forfeit the rolled over data bucket immediately. Switching off Unlimited Data (if in the slowed state) will block your data usage immediately (Shock Free Data).

__11. Can I move from a starter plan to one of the new plans?__

Yup. You’re always welcome to switch to one of the new Koodo Pick Your Perk rate plans.

__12. What if I don’t want to switch to a Pick Your Perk Plan?__

If you’re happy with your existing rate plan, you don’t have to change a thing! You just won’t have access to any of the “perk” features that are available with a Pick Your Perk Plan.

  <h3> Rollover Data & Unlimited Data FAQs </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__1. How does Rollover Data work?__

At the end of the month, any data left over in your plan’s monthly data bucket will roll over to your data bucket for the next month. After you use all of your regular plan data, your Rollover Data will get used automatically. You can only keep your Rollover Data for one month, so any unused Rollover Data at the end of the month will be gone. 

The Rollover Data perk is specific to your plan. If you change your plan or remove this perk, you’ll lose the rolled over data from the previous month.<br><br>

__2. How does Unlimited Data work?__

The Unlimited Data perk allows you to use as much data as you like while in Canada and never be charged data overages. After your plan’s high-speed data is used, your maximum speed will be reduced to 512 Kbps for the rest of your billing cycle. <sup>1</sup>

This means you’ll still be able to browse the Internet and use email, but video quality will be reduced and other high-bandwidth applications will take longer to load. For more info, check out Koodo’s Network Traffic Management Policy at koodo.com/NTMP.

If you need more high-speed data until your next billing cycle, you can always buy a Fast Pass. Just add one in Self Serve or by replying to SMS data notifications. For the 411 on Fast Passes, check out our [Help page](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/adding-fast-passes).<br><br>

__3. Will purchasing the 5G Speed Boost perk restore my high-speed data?__

If your data is in a slowed state, the 5G Speed Boost perk won’t grant you access to more high-speed data. The only way to get more high-speed data is by purchasing a Fast Pass.

The 5G Speed Boost perk will apply to Fast Pass purchases.<br><br>

__4. Can I hotspot with my Unlimited Data?__

You can hotspot while you have access to your high-speed data bucket, but once you’ve used all your high-speed data and are in a slowed state, you will no longer be able to hotspot.<br><br>

__5. Do Rollover Data and Unlimited Data work with Easy Roam?__

Nope. The Rollover Data and Unlimited Data perks aren’t accessible while roaming with Easy Roam.   
  </div>

<br><br> 

__Unlimited Long Distance Pack restrictions:__ Calls made to phone numbers starting with the following six-digit combinations are not included in this add-on: 559-726, 712-775, 712-432, 605-562, 605-475, and 530-881.

  <h3> FAQ </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__1 - How can I forward calls without being able to turn on my phone?__

You can take the SIM card out of your broken phone and insert it into another working phone. You can then activate call forwarding on the working phone.<br><br>

__2 - How can I forward calls from my landline to my Koodo cell phone?__

Call Forwarding has to be activated by the landline, not your Koodo cell phone. You’ll need to contact the provider of your landline phone and ask how to forward the calls to another number.<br><br>

__3 - Can I forward calls to a number outside my zone?__

On a Koodo cell phone, you can configure call forwarding to any number in the North American Numbering format, ie, NPA-NXX-XXXX, which includes all Canada, U.S., and Caribbean numbers. Forwarding calls to international numbers, e.g. +CC-NN (where the Country Code is not equal to 1), isn’t allowed.<br><br>

__4 - How does voicemail work for forwarded calls?__

For a forwarded call, i.e. A calls B but is forwarded to C and is then forwarded to voicemail, the call would be forwarded to the mailbox of C.

  </div>

You can add Call Forwarding to your Koodo account for just $3 a month. Find out how here. 

Call Forwarding

[Shock-Free® Data](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/shock-free-data) lets you be in control of your data usage so you can avoid unexpected charges. That means you’ll never go over your data without knowing. We’ll send you a text when you’re at 50%, 90% and 100% of your data usage.

When you reach your limit, we’ll pause your data so you don’t go over, which means no surprises on your bill.

If your data is paused, you can resume it directly from your Koodo phone or in Self Serve (as long as you have [authority](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/permissions "authority") on the account). Here's how...

__To resume your data directly from your Koodo phone:__

There are two options ([authorized users](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/permissions) can make purchases; unauthorized users will only receive the usage notification without an option to top up):

1. Send a text message to 5337 with keyword YES to use your plan’s data pay-per-use rate.

2. Send a text message to 5337 with keyword 17YES to add a data top-up of 500MB for $17 and 25YES to add a data top-up of 1GB for $25.

__To resume your data through Self Serve:__

1. [Log in to your Self Serve account.](https://identity.koodomobile.com/as/authorization.oauth2?pc=true&client_id=unifiedss_koodo&response_type=code&scope=priceplaninfo+securitymgmt+usagedetails+profilemanagement+invoiceinfo+usagemanagement+accountactivity+subscriberinfo+paymentmanagement+accountinfo+usagepreferencemanagement+usageblockmanagement+profileinfohighdetail+devicemanagement+serviceeligibility+loyaltyandrewards+usagemeter+customerinfo+accountmanagement+paymentprocessing+ciiLogin+ordermgmt+phonenumbermgmt&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.koodomobile.com%2Fmy-account%2Foauth_callback "Log in to your Self Serve account.")

2. On the overview page, you will see a banner that tells you your data is paused. Click unpause data.

3. Choose a data option.

4. Review and submit your choice.

5. Your data will be unpaused.

If you buy data and use it all up, it will be paused again. You can choose to continue using your data, but you’ll be charged your plan’s data pay-per-use rate. 

You can only buy and use top-ups within the same bill cycle; your data will reset with the start of a new bill cycle. Any leftover data can’t be carried over to the next cycle.

Top ups can't be purchased proactively. To change your data limit, you’ll first need to change to a plan that offers more data. Log in to Self Serve to see the latest available plans.

To __proactively pause data usage__ at any time for yourself or anyone on your account, this can be done through your phone’s settings: 

1.	Go to __Settings__

2.	Under __Network__, select __Mobile Network__ 

3.	Select __Mobile Data__ and switch the toggle to __OFF__. This will stop the data and allow only Wi-Fi to be used. This can be toggled back on whenever you want.

If you want to prevent an account user from using any amount of data from their rate plan bucket (for example, the user has a 4GB bucket, but you want their usage to be 0), you can opt to buy a Data Block SOC through Self Serve for $5/month:

1. From the Self Serve menu, select __Mobile services__

2. Select __Manage add-ons__

3. Locate the __Data Block with Picture Message__ add-on and select __Add to plan__ <br><br>

__How to remove the Data Block add-on__

If you added a data block onto your account through Self Serve but want to reverse/remove this add-on, follow these steps:

1. From the Self Serve menu, select __Mobile services__

2. Select __Manage add-ons__

3. Under My add-ons, select the '__x__' next to Data Block with Picture Message and __Confirm changes__ in order to remove the data block add-on


With Koodo it's easy to pause your data, it's easy to resume it too. Find out everything about pausing and resuming data right here.

### What Is the GPS Rollover Bug?
Starting April 6, 2019, a global GPS time reset issue, dubbed GPS Week Rollover, may impact location accuracy when making a 911 call from a mobile device.

As a result of the GPS rollover, some Koodo customers using select mobile devices may not have accurate GPS location readings in the event of a 911 emergency (see below for a list of affected devices). More specifically, when customers using the affected mobile devices make a 911 call, emergency services will receive the call, however, they may not have the ability to detect the customers’ exact GPS location coordinates.

This is a global issue and not isolated to Koodo.

### What Koodo is Doing
Koodo is working with manufacturers to roll out fixes to affected devices as soon as possible. However, some devices will not receive software patches for the foreseeable future.

Our customers’ safety is an absolute priority and we will advise impacted Koodo customers via SMS in advance of April 6th, to make them aware of the following:

- If a customer is making making a 911 call using one of the impacted devices, we suggest that they exercise caution and provide EMS with their location details.
- Download software patch as soon as possible for devices with an available software update
- For customers with a device without a known software patch, we are advising them to be aware of this issue and exercise caution if they find themselves in a 911 situation, including sharing their specific location with emergency services.

### Affected Devices

Koodo has identified a small number of select devices that, as of April 6th, 2019, will no longer provide accurate location functionality. These devices may, however, obtain some location functionality through wireless tower triangulation so Emergency Services may continue to get locations for these customers. Koodo will communicate to all impacted customers to make them aware of this issue and encourage them to download the applicable software patch to their devices to resolve this issue.

Koodo has worked with manufacturers to roll out fixes to affected devices. If your device is listed below, please update your devices to the latest software.

- Alcatel A50 (5085O)
- Alcatel 1 (5033O)
- Alcatel Lume (A466T)
- Alcatel Pixi 3(4) (A460T)
- Alcatel Pixi 3(4.5) (5017O)

Some devices, however, will not receive software patches due to their age. If your device is listed below, please be aware of this issue and exercise caution if you find yourself in a 911 situation. Alternatively, you can visit your nearest Koodo store to purchase a new device.

- Alcatel A392A / A392CC

How to: Stop receiving alerts about data usage

Hey hotshot, if you’ve got more mobile data than you know what to do with, then why don’t you share some with friends and family by using your Personal Hotspot?

__The lowdown on Hotspot:__
Personal Hotspot is a setting you can activate on your phone which allows your friends and family to connect to your phone’s mobile data via Wi-Fi. It means that if your friend has run out of data for the month, and you’re feeling generous, you can set up a hotspot and let them use some of yours.

__How do you set up a Hotspot?__
It’s easy to setup a Personal Hotspot on your phone! Just follow the steps on the table below:


| Apple    |   Android    |
| ---------- | ---------- |
| 1- Go to Settings > Cellular      | 1 - Go to Settings|
| 2- Tap Personal Hotspot       | 2 - Tap Network & Internet|
| 3 - Choose your password       | 3 - Tap Hotspot & tethering |
|        | 4 - Set up Wi-Fi Hotspot|

__How do you switch on a Hotspot?__ 
Just like setting up a Hotspot, it’s super simple to switch it on and off. Just follow the steps below:


| Apple     | Android     |
| ---------- | ---------- |
| 1 - Go to Settings > Cellular       | 1 - Go to Settings       |
| 2 - Tap Personal Hotspot       | 2 - Tap Network & Internet       |
| 3 - Tap the slider to switch it on!       | 3 - Tap Hotspot & Tethering       |
|        | 4 - Enable portable Wi-Fi hotspot       |

__How do you connect to someone’s Personal Hotspot?__
It’s just as simple to connect to a Hotspot as it is to set one up and switch one on. Follow the steps in the table below:


| Apple     | Android     |
| ---------- | ---------- |
| 1 - Go to Settings > Wi-Fi       | 1 - Go to Settings|
| 2 - Select the hotspot you want to connect to and enter the password |2 - Tap Network & Internet|
|3 - Stay on this screen until you’re connected to the Wi-Fi network	| 3 - Tap Wi-Fi | 
|| 4 - Select the hotspot you want to connect to and enter password|
| | 5 - Stay on this screen until you’ve connected your other device to the Wi-Fi network| 

If you’re having any difficulties with your phone then you can check out our [Troubleshooting](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/article-categories/phone-troubleshooting "Troubleshooting") pages.

## Hotspot FAQ’s
Here are some common questions people have about Personal Hotspot:

### 1 - How do I know if someone is connected to my Personal Hotspot?
This depends on what kind of device you are using. If you are using an Apple device then the status bar turns blue when a device is connected to your Personal Hotspot, it also shows how many devices have joined. Unfortunately Android devices do not have the ability to show devices connected to your Personal Hotspot.

### 2 - How will this affect my data usage?
While someone is connected to your Personal Hotspot, you’ll be deducted for any data that they use from your monthly plan. So for example, if you have 5GB and your friend uses 1GB while connected to your hotspot, you will have 4GB left.

### 3 - Do I have hotspot included in my plan?
Your Personal Hotspot is a feature built in to your smartphone and is not part of your plan. However, to be able to provide a hotspot connection to your friends, you must have a Data Plan.

## Alert Ready

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Who sends emergency alerts? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Federal, provincial, and territorial governments are responsible for issuing emergency alerts. Federally, emergency alerts are issued most frequently by Environment and Climate Change Canada. Each provincial or territorial government decides who will have the authority to issue alerts with  their jurisdictions. Emergency alerts could be issued by provincial or territorial management offices or in some cases by municipal emergency management offices or local police and fire departments. Koodo and other carriers broadcast emergency alerts received from alerting authorities directly to compatible wireless devices connected to LTE networks.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">

  <h3> What types of emergency alerts are issued by Alert Ready? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
The Alert Ready system allows alerting authorities from federal, provincial and territorial governments to issue a wide range of public safety messages. However, Koodo and other carriers will only receive and relay messages that are issued for THREAT-TO-LIFE situations. Government officials developed a specific list of alert types that are considered a threat-to-life and should be broadcasted immediately. These “Broadcast Immediately” emergency alerts have the highest level of severity, urgency and certainty. For a full list, visit the <a href="https://www.alertready.ca/#types">Alert Types</a> section of the website.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">

  <h3> Will emergency alerts be for my specific area? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Yes. The alerting authority determines which areas are affected by an incident, weather or environmental situation, and uses a standard system that will typically correspond with municipal, regional or provincial boundaries. Emergency alerts intended for wireless devices are issued to a defined geographical area, which can be as small as a few blocks, so that only people in the defined area receive the emergency alerts within seconds of being issued, provided the devices are powered on and connected to the LTE cellular network.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Are the emergency alerts sent as a text message? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
No. While the emergency alert may look like a text, it is not a text message. Emergency alerts are sent by Cell Broadcast distribution. This is a mobile technology that allows messages to be broadcast to all compatible wireless devices within a specified area. Call Broadcast is a similar to radio broadcast. Radio towers broadcast music to people in defined geographic areas providing the individuals can pick up the broadcast signal and have their radios turned on. Similarly, Cell broadcast messages are delivered simultaneously to those compatible wireless devices that are in range of cell towers and antenna in the designated area.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> When should I expect to get a test alert? Are they scheduled in advance? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Testing of the emergency alert system is scheduled in advance. The test schedule for your specific province or territory can be found on AlertReady.ca.
</div>

## Receiving Wireless Public Alerts

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Will I receive an emergency alert if my device is connected to Wi-Fi? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
While on Wi-Fi, if the compatible device can still communicate with the LTE cellular network, it will receive emergency alerts. If the wireless device is not within reach of the LTE cellular network (or is set to Wi-Fi only) it will not receive an emergency alert.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
<h3> Will I be charged if I receive an emergency alert on my wireless device if I don’t have unlimited texting or data? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Wireless alerts are sent on a specific cellular channel that is separate from normal text and data traffic. Although the alerts may look like text messages, they are not, and are also not billed like text messages. They also do not count towards data use.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Can I opt out of receiving emergency alerts on my wireless device?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
No. Emergency alerts are relevant to you and require immediate attention, government regulations mandate that all compatible wireless devices receive all relevant alerts. Unlike radio and television broadcasts which cover a vast area, wireless public alerting is geo-targeted and can be very specific to a limited area. As a result, if you receive a wireless emergency then the area you are located is in immediate danger.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
<h3> Will I receive emergency alerts on my wireless device if I’m travelling to or from another province? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Yes. Emergency alerts are issued to a defined geographic area, such that only people in the defined area will receive the emergency alerts. If you are travelling and happen to be in another province when the emergency alert is issued, provided your phone is powered on and connected to the LTE cellular network.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
<h3> Will I receive emergency alerts on my phone relevant to where I live while I'm traveling away from home? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
No. if you’re travelling you will only receive emergency alerts that occur where you are. Canadians can keep track of emergency alerts occurring in specific areas (e.g. where they or family members live) through a number of available apps and online services.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
<h3> Will I still receive emergency alerts if wireless device towers are affected by the situation? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Emergency alerts are broadcast from cellular towers and antennas within the area specified by the alert issuer. Compatible wireless devices connected to the specified towers/antennas will receive the emergency alert. The towers/antennas therefore must be operational to send emergency alerts. If you are in an affected area but your wireless device is unable to connect to any towers/antennas because of the situation, you will not receive the emergency alert on your wireless device.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">

  <h3>Will emergency alerts interrupt or end a voice-call or another activity in progress?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Emergency alerts will not end a voice call or data session in progress. If you are on a VoLTE call when the emergency alert is received, you will hear an alert tone, similar to call waiting.  The alert will be displayed on your device, after your call has ended. If you are on a call while connected to the 3G network, you will not receive the alert while you are on the call. You will receive the emergency alert after your call has ended, if it the alert is still active and your device is connected to the LTE network. If you are using data, the emergency alert will briefly interrupt your data session by the emergency alert appearing on your screen, but your data session will continue.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Will I receive an emergency alert if my wireless device is off or set to silent?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
A compatible wireless device that is turned off, or is in Airplane Mode, will not display an emergency alert. If the emergency alert is still active when the wireless device is powered on or out of Airplane Mode, and the user is still in the alert area, the wireless device will then display the alert. A compatible wireless device that is set to silent will display an emergency alert, but you might not hear the emergency alert sound. The emergency alert sound will usually play at whatever the current volume setting is on the wireless device, so if your wireless device is set to silent, no sound will accompany the emergency alert message. However, this behaviour can differ depending on your wireless device and in some instances the alert sound may override your user settings. Please consult your device manufacturer for more device-specific information.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
 <h3>If my wireless device is off for an extended period, will the emergency alert appear once I turn it back on?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
If the emergency alert is still active when the compatible wireless device is turned on, and you are within the emergency alert area, the emergency alert will be displayed.  If the emergency alert is no longer active or if you have travelled outside of the alert area, it will not be displayed.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Can alerts be saved on my device?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Some smartphones allow you to save and retrieve emergency alerts received on your device after you acknowledge the alert. For more information and to find out if your device is capable of saving an emergency alert we recommend that you contact your device manufacturer.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Will alerts sent to my wireless device be used to gather data about me?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
No. Emergency alerts are sent using Cell Broadcast distribution. Cell Broadcast can only transmit information to your wireless device. This means that no data is being gathered about you, your wireless device or your location when emergency alerts are sent out.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Why do some emergency alerts display with a banner that says “Presidential Alert”?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
  Wireless public alerts in Canada follow the <a href="https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/mrgnc-mngmnt/mrgnc-prprdnss/npas/clf-lng-20-en.aspx#s8153" target="blank"> Canadian common look and feel guidance</a>. The agreed upon term for emergency alerts in this guidance is “EMERGENCY ALERT / ALERTE D’URGENCE”. The equivalent term as per the American standard is “Presidential Alert”. Devices pre-dating the Canadian name alignment, as well as phones purchased outside of Canada or manufactured to be compatible with the U.S. Wireless Emergency Alerts system, will display “Presidential Alert”, or another non-Canadian headline banner.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Why am I receiving repeat alerts?</h3>
  </div>
<div class="content">
In most cases, you should only receive an alert once. However, if you think you are receiving the same alert more than once it could be due to one of the following reasons:<br>
1. The device is power cycled and the alert is still active on the network when the device is powered back on. In this case, the alert will be displayed again due to the device cache being cleared.<br>
2. Your phone connection to the network is alternating back and forth from one of our cell sites to one of our partner’s cell sites (i.e. TELUS and Bell)<br>
3. You have the alert reminder settings on your phone turned on. Please check your device manual to learn how to change the alert reminder settings.
</div>

## Device Compatibility

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Will all devices receive emergency alerts?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
No. In order for emergency alerts to be received on a wireless device three conditions must be met. The wireless device must be:<br>
i. An LTE-device (LTE is commonly referred to as “4G LTE”);<br>
ii. Wireless public alerting (WPA)-compatible <a href="https://www.koodomobile.com/help/wireless-public-alerting-compatible-devices" target="blank">list of WPA compatible smartphones</a>; and<br>
iii. Connected to an LTE cellular network at the time the emergency alert is issued, or joins the network while the alert is still active.
</div>
<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> What does it mean for a device to be WPA-compatible?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
A wireless device that is WPA-compatible is (1) an LTE-device, that (2) has special software embedded in it that allows for the alert message to be received in the standard Alert Ready format (look, sound and vibration). The common Alert Ready format ensures the alert is recognizable and provides confirmation that it is issued by a legitimate source. <a href="https://www.koodomobile.com/help/wireless-public-alerting-compatible-devices" target="blank">Here</a> is a list of all WPA compatible smartphones that are currently offered in the Koodo mobility shop.  
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Are other mobile devices (e.g. tablets) capable of receiving emergency alerts?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Koodo and other carriers are required to distribute emergency alerts via the LTE networks to compatible smartphones. Additional wireless devices – such as tablets and wearable accessories (e.g. smartwatches) – may be capable, from a technical perspective, to receive some form of the message, but it will not necessarily be received on the device in the common Alert Ready format.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
<h3> Will alerts be received on devices bought from non-Canadian carrier that support Cell Broadcasts?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Koodo can only guarantee WPA compatibility for devices that are testing and certified by Koodo and are sold through Koodo. For a comprehensive list check out the Koodo device compatibility list available <a href="https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/alert-ready-frequently-asked-questions">here</a>. Devices from non-Canadian carriers MAY work, but Koodo cannot comment on how the alerts will be rendered.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
<h3> Will alerts be received correctly on older device models not listed on the device compatibility list?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Koodo can only guarantee WPA compatibility for devices listed <a href="https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/wireless-public-alerting-compatible-devices">here.</a> Older device models might not have WPA functionality enabled by the device manufacturer. For more information, you can contact your device manufacturer.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> I thought my device was compatible but I didn’t receive a test alert. What should I do?</h3></div>
<div class="content">
It is important that you first verify that you did not receive an alert by checking your device’s “notification” folder. In some instances you might not see or notice the alert even though your device has received it. The alert might be “hidden” with other notifications.<br>
If you didn’t receive an alert on your device it is important to do several things, including checking the phone’s <a href="https://www.koodomobile.com/help/wireless-public-alerting-compatible-devices" target="blank"> WPA compatibility</a>, as well as ensuring that you have updated the software. There are many factors that will impact your ability to receive the alert including your location, or whether you are connected to the LTE network at the time of the alert distribution.
</div>

## Taking action

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> What should I do if i receive a test alert on my wireless device?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Test alert messages will be identified as such. These messages are intended to “test” the functionality of the system, and inform people of wireless emergency alerts. They do not require people to take any steps to secure their safety.
<br>
You might be asked to acknowledge the receipt of the emergency alert in order to allow for your wireless device to resume normal functioning. In the event that you cannot acknowledge the alert, the alert sound and vibration will continue for 8 seconds. Depending on your specific wireless device you might get additional reminders.
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> What should I do if I receive an emergency alert on my wireless device?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
Upon receiving the emergency alert it is important to take action safely. Stop what you are doing when it is safe to do so and read the emergency alert. Government officials will include, within the emergency alert, the information you need for any action you need to take. This could include but is not limited to: limit unnecessary travel, evacuate the areas, seek shelter, etc.  
</div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> What should I do if I receive an emergency alert on my wireless device while driving?</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">
It is important to take action safely, especially if the emergency alert is received while operating a vehicle. If you are driving, it is important to remain calm and pull over at your earliest opportunity to view the emergency alert. Some connected Bluetooth car stereos will play and magnify the alert sound. Make sure you do not panic and take action safely.

Any existing voice messages already saved in your inbox will remain available after the setup process is complete.

__Note:__ This page applies to all Unlimited Province-wide plans as of February 23, 2021

Province-wide calling means you can make outgoing calls to any number within your home province. Plus, you’ll receive all incoming calls across Canada, regardless of the province they’re from.

If you’re travelling to another province, you can make province-wide calls while you’re there. You’ll still receive unlimited incoming calls, but you'll be charged a long-distance fee if you  call your home province or any other province than the one you're located in, unless you have a Canada-wide calling add-on.

For example, if you lived in B.C.:

1. __Making calls__

  •	Unlimited outgoing calls to any phone number in B.C.

2. __Receiving calls__

  •	Unlimited incoming calls from any province in Canada and from any country

And you travelled to Quebec:

1. __Making calls__

  •	Unlimited outgoing calls to any phone number in Quebec.

  •	You won't be able to make outgoing calls to any other province, including B.C.

2. __Receiving calls__

  •	Unlimited incoming calls from any province in Canada and from any country

### Making calls to a destination outside of your home province
If you call a number outside your home province, you’ll be charged a Canadian long-distance rate of $0.25/min. 


Province-wide calling means you can make outgoing calls to any number within your home province. Plus, you’ll receive all incoming calls across Canada, regardless of the province they’re from.

Port Protection, or Transfer Block, is a feature that helps prevent your number and account from being transferred or “ported out” accidentally or by an unauthorized user to another carrier.

Port Fraud Protection is available in only the following scenarios:

- You’ve proactively asked for port protection
- You’re a victim of an unauthorized fraudulent port
- You’re a victim of an external breach and/or have had your identity stolen

If you’re an account holder, only you can request blocks for multiple lines on your account. If you’re a subscriber who can verify the account, you can request a block for your own line.

### Just so you know

- Port Fraud Protection is a free service.
- Port Fraud Protection is added to your account within 24-72 hours.
- When Port Fraud Protection is added, you’ll receive a confirmation SMS.
- If you're looking to port to TELUS, you’ll need to contact us to remove the block. Otherwise, you don't need to call us for any transfers. 

__Note:__ Port Protection is available only for Koodo Postpaid customers.

### Activating Port Protection

Port Protection can only be added by a rep after they've authenticated you as the account owner or authorized subscriber. To get started, book a callback using [Koodo Assist](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help?autobots=rollout) and type in "port protection."

Here are a few handy tips to keep in mind when using your data.

  - __Close your apps:__ Apps running in the background may still be using data. Make sure to close them if you’re concerned about burning through your data.
  - __Data not working?__ Make sure your data is turned on by going to your phone settings. Also be sure to check your text messages - we send out a message when you’ve hit a data block.

You can now get voicemail messages delivered right to your text message inbox as an audio file. It’s the new speedy way to get your messages. You can get Instant Voicemail on almost any device that is able to receive picture, audio, and video messages.

### How to activate Instant Voicemail
It’s easy to activate Instant Voicemail! Just log in to Self Serve, go to __Mobile Services__, and select __Manage add-ons__ to add it to your Koodo account.

### Using your new Instant Voicemail
When you activate Instant Voicemail, instead of receiving the traditional Voicemail notification you’ll get a text message with an audio file attached. The text will let you know who your voice message is from, and you can tap the audio file to listen to it right away. After you’ve listened to your voice message, you can forward it, download it, or save it on the cloud. You’re still able to access your voicemail and clean up your mailbox as you did before.

### Just so you know:
- You need data to use Instant Voicemail.
- If you’re outside Canada and want to use this feature, you'll need to make sure you have data roaming enabled. __Heads up!__ Charges will apply.
- You can't download the voicemail audio file when you're using WiFi.

Instant Voicemail

Want to identify yourself by name to the person you’re calling? Eligible Koodo customers can opt in to activate Outbound Calling Name Display.

### What is Outbound Calling Name Display?
Outbound Calling Name Display will share your name with the person you’re calling, even if they do not have you in their contacts book. If their device supports name display, your name will appear on their device when they receive a call from you.

### Don’t I already have Outbound Calling Name Display?
This is a common misconception, but most customers with Koodo cell phone service don’t have this feature. The default feature on Koodo plans will share your __phone number__ with the person you’re calling, __not your name.__ 

### Who can use Outbound Calling Name Display?
To use this feature, you’ll need to have:

1. a postpaid plan 
2. a phone that’s certified for the Koodo [VoLTE](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/volte) network
3. [VoLTE](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/volte) enabled on your phone

__Note:__ This feature is currently not supported for customers on Prepaid plans.

### How much does it cost to add this feature?
Outbound Calling Name Display can be added to your account for free! 

### How can I add Outbound Calling Name Display to my account?
You can add the feature to your account by following these simple steps:

1. Log in to [Self Serve](http://koodo.com/selfserve)
2. Select the __Self Serve__ dropdown menu at the top
3. Select __Mobile services__
4. Select __Manage add-ons__
5. Under add-Ons, locate Outbound Calling Name Display and select __Add to plan__

__Heads up!__ It can take up to 24 hours for the account change to take effect.

### Can I choose the name that will be shown?
Sorry, your display name can’t be customized. The name that will be displayed will be the name that you used to create your Koodo account.

### I added Outbound Calling Name Display to my account, but it’s not working. How come?
After adding the feature to your account, it can take 24 hours or longer for it to be activated. In the meantime, please double-check that your phone is a certified [VoLTE phone](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/volte) on the Koodo network and that VoLTE is activated. 

### What if I don’t want to use Outbound Calling Name Display anymore?
If you’d prefer not to show your name for a particular call, dial #31# in front of the destination number. 

For example: __#31#__ 416-123-4567 

This will hide your name and number, and you’ll be displayed as “Private” to the person you’re calling. The Outbound Calling Name Display feature will return to normal for subsequent calls.

You can also disable Outbound Calling Name Display in your phone settings.

<style type="text/css">
.tg  {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;}
.tg td{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;
  overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}
.tg th{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;
  font-weight:normal;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}
.tg .tg-0pky{border-color:inherit;text-align:left;vertical-align:top}
</style>
<table class="tg">
<thead>
  <tr>
    <th class="tg-0pky">Apple</th>
    <th class="tg-0pky">Android</th>
  </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
  <tr>
    <td class="tg-0pky">Settings → Phone → Show My Caller ID → Disable</td>
    <td class="tg-0pky">Call settings → Supplementary service → Show Caller ID → Hide Number</td>
  </tr>
</tbody>
</table>

This will hide your name and number, and you’ll appear as “Private” to the person you’re calling until the setting is enabled again. 

If you want to __permanently__ disable Outbound Calling Name Display, you can log in to your Koodo Self Serve account and remove it from your add-ons. __Note:__ This change can take 24 hours to come into effect.

### Why isn’t my name displayed correctly when I call some people?
Once Outbound Calling Name Display is active on your account, the Koodo network will share your name with people you’re calling, but the phone and network of the person you’re calling must also support Call Display for your name to be received. If not, the characters of your name might be changed or might not appear at all in some cases.

It’s important to remember that VoLTE is required for Outbound Calling Name Display to work. If VoLTE is turned off on your device or hasn’t been added to your account, your name won’t be shared when you make calls.

Also, the contacts saved in your phone or any other third-party caller ID service, like Hiya, will override the Outbound Calling Name Display feature. This means the Koodo network will share your account’s name with people you’re calling, but their phones might display it differently.

When you change your rate plan during your bill cycle, the amount of data and minutes you get access to during your first month of your new rate plan will be prorated. This means that you won’t have the full amount of your data until the first day of your next bill cycle (the first full bill cycle with your new rate plan).  For example, if you switch from a 6GB rate plan to a 10GB rate plan with 12 days left in your bill cycle, you will have access to 4GB of data for these 12 days (10GB/30 days x 12 remaining days). You will have access to the full data amount once you start your first full bill cycle.

## __FAQs__
Here are some of the most common questions people ask us about rate plan proration:

<div class="collapsible">
<h3>I switched my rate plan, but I had data remaining from my last plan. Will it be carried over?</h3>
  </div>
<div class="content">
No. When you switch to a new plan, you’ll get to enjoy the features on your new plan and everything from your old plan will no longer be valid
  </div>
<div class="collapsible">
  <h3>When will I get the full amount of data stated in my rate plan?</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="content">
You’ll be able to fully use your data the following month/on your first full bill cycle. Your data only gets prorated for a certain amount of time in the remainder of your bill cycle when you first switch over to a new plan.
</div>
<div class= "collapsible">
  <h3>Why is data prorated before my first full bill cycle?</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="content">
When you switch over to a new rate plan during your bill cycle, you do not pay the full price for the plan; instead, the amount is prorated to reflect how much of the billing period is remaining. Prorating equally applies to the services provided; meaning that the amount of data available will also reflect how much of the current billing period is remaining.
  </div>
<div class="collapsible">
  <h3>What is a full bill cycle?</h3>
  </div>
 <div class="content">
A full bill cycle is the time period from the date of one bill to the date of the next bill. So, if your bill cycle commences on January 5, then your cycle would cover the period from January 5 to February 4, and this period would be full cycle. When you change your rate plan part way through your current bill cycle, your first bill will be only for a portion of your full bill cycle.<br><br>To see your bill cycle, first log in to Self Serve. Next, click the Self Serve drop-down menu, then select Billing.  
   </div>
 <div class="collapsible">
  <h3>When does my new rate plan begin and my old one end?</h3>
  </div>
 <div class="content">
Your new rate plan will begin the moment we send you a confirmation. As soon as you get this, it also means that your old plan is no longer in service.
   </div>
 <div class="collapsible">
  <h3>Will the data in my old plan be prorated?</h3>
   </div>
  <div class="content">
No, proration will affect the “new” allotment only. The allotment granted from the previous plan will remain the same.
   </div>
 <div class="collapsible">
  <h3>Will the minutes in my old plan be prorated?</h3>
   </div>
  <div class="content">
When you move off a plan that includes a limited amount of minutes each month, those minutes will be prorated. This means you won't have the full number of minutes available for calls between your last bill date and the date your plan changed.<br><br>

__For example:__ If your bill date is the 30th and you move off a plan with 300 minutes on April 15, only 150 minutes (300/30 x 15 days) were available to use between April 1 and April 15.
   </div>
 <div class="collapsible">
  <h3>When is the best time for me to change my plan to avoid proration?</h3>
   </div>
  <div class="content">
The best time to change your plan to avoid proration is on the day your cycle ends. If changes are made beyond this date, proration will apply and your new rate will only appear on the following invoice.
   </div>
 <div class="collapsible">
  <h3>Does the date that I change my plan become the new billing date, or will it still be the original date?</h3>
   </div>
  <div class="content">
No, your bill cycle will remain the same.
   </div>
 <div class="collapsible">
  <h3>Is there a limit to how often I can change my plan?</h3>
   </div>
  <div class="content">
Yes, there’s a limit of one rate plan change per bill cycle.
   </div>
 <div class="collapsible">
  <h3>If I change my plan from $60 to a smaller plan (e.g. $50), what difference would it make in my monthly charges?</h3>
   </div>
  <div class="content">
As an example, if your bill date is the 30th, and you change your plan from $60 to $50 on April 15, you would receive a credit of $5 on your next invoice (($60 - $50)/30 days in the month x 15 days remaining).
   </div>

When change your Koodo plan, your first bill will be different. Check out this page to find everything you need to know about rate plan proration.

How to: Activate LTE on your mobile device

STIR/SHAKEN is a set of network tools used to verify the true calling number.

On STIR/SHAKEN-capable handsets, eligible calls may show as “verified.” All calls that don’t show as “verified” will show as normal calls.

Please note that as of November 30, 2021, at the time of launch, the majority of calls won’t be eligible to be verified and will continue to show as normal calls.

__Heads up!__ STIR/SHAKEN doesn’t block calls.

If you’re a Koodo customer on a monthly plan and are looking for a feature that will block nuisance calls, consider adding the [Call Control](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/call-control) feature to your line. Call Control is a free feature that can effectively block nuisance calls by automatically screening out robo-callers.

__Good to know:__ The calls screened by Call Control won’t show as “verified” by STIR/SHAKEN. This could change in the future as we implement more network integration and upgrades.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Which calls are eligible for STIR/SHAKEN verification? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Only fully Internet Protocol to Internet Protocol (IP to IP) Canadian calls can be validated on STIR/SHAKEN-capable handsets. Currently, most calls aren’t fully IP to IP, so they’ll continue to be displayed as normal calls.
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Does my phone support the STIR/SHAKEN feature? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

At the time of launch on November 30, 2021, most phones aren’t capable of supporting STIR/SHAKEN, so they won’t display “verified” for incoming calls. These phones will continue to display calls as they normally do today.
Once your phone is capable of supporting STIR/SHAKEN, validated calls will automatically be displayed on your handset as “verified.” No action will be required of you.
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Does STIR/SHAKEN block calls? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

No, STIR/SHAKEN will only show validated calls as “verified” or display calls as normal.
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Good to know </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

“Verified” only guarantees that the calling number displayed is showing the true number and is not spoofed. The actual call may still be an unsolicited or nuisance call.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> How data usage is reported </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

When reviewing your data usage, you may see instances where multiple "chunks" of data appear to have been consumed at the same time.

The time indicated is when the data session began. But in a single session, you may have incurred multiple instances of data usage. For example:

- You may have watched a video, then left for a few minutes before watching another video
- You may have set up a personal hotspot, then the device that's tethered to yours used some data

When these instances happen in a single session, the data usage chart will show several instances of data usage, all with the same start time.

Also, sometimes when larger amounts of data are consumed, the reporting may be split into smaller segments. For example, if a video consumed 7.2 MB of data, you may see it reported as 5 MB and 2.2 MB, with the same start time.

If you don’t have unlimited minutes and are the one __initiating the conference call__: 

You’ll be using the minutes from your plan for every call you make to each person. 

__Example:__ If you’re on a call with your sister for 5 minutes, then decide to add your brother to the call, and all three of you are on the call for 15 minutes, you’ll be considered to have used 35 minutes total for both calls, as __each call uses minutes independently__. 

Here’s the breakdown for the person making the conference call:

- 5 mins (first phone call) + 15 mins (conference call) = 20 mins 
- +15 mins (when second call (brother) was added) brings the total to 35 minutes for both calls

If you don’t have unlimited minutes and are __invited to join a conference__:

Setting up data on your non-Koodo phone

Here at Koodo we’re constantly working to prevent spam texts and other fraudulent communications from reaching our customers. There are actions you can take as well to not only [spot a spam message](https://www.telus.com/en/about/security/phishing-spam) but to report it to our team for investigation. The main things to remember if you receive a spam text message are:

- Forward the spam message to the shortcode 7726 (SPAM). If you're receiving more than one, we recommend putting 7726 into your contact list so it's easily remembered.

- Don't respond directly to the number that sent you the spam text. This will alert the spammer that your number is genuine and active.

- If you're not able to view the number or if it's email spam, forward us the entire message (along with the subject header if it's an email).

## How to forward a Spam text from your phone to 7726

### iPhone

1. Touch and hold the message
2. Select More
3. Select the message you want to forward, then select the arrow in the bottom right corner
4. Enter 7726
5. Select Send

### Android / Windows
1. Press the message (be careful not to activate / tap on a link)
2. Choose Forward (from the menu)
3. Forward to 7726

*Reporting spam to 7726 is free. Messages forwarded to 7726 don't count toward your data or messaging usage.

## iMessage Spam Reporting

The key difference between an iMessage and an SMS message is the colour of the text. An iMessage text appears in a blue bubble, whereas an SMS message appears in a green bubble. 

If the spam text you receive appears in green, you may need to report it using the steps above. 

If the spam is an iMessage and comes from someone not saved in your contacts, you'll see a message stating that "the sender is not in your contact list" and you'll have the option to Report junk.

Alternatively, you can send an email to imessage.spam@apple.com with this information:

- A screenshot of the message
- The email address or phone number that sent you the iMessage
- The date and time you received the spam iMessage

If you have further questions about spam messaging or any other messages you receive, don't hesitate to ask the [Koodo Community](https://community.koodomobile.com/) or reach out to us over on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/koodo?lang=en) or [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Koodo/)!

Monitoring your data in Self Serve

TELUS IP (Internet Protocol) Relay Service enables deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to place and receive text-based relay calls from their personal computer (PC) and/or mobile device. A TELUS IP Relay operator will connect an IP Relay caller to a voice party. All calls are strictly confidential. All you need to use TELUS IP Relay is a PC with an Internet connection.

There is no charge for using the TELUS IP Relay Service to place local calls or long-distance calls within North America using a PC. For wireless smartphone devices, all applicable usage charges still apply. International calls are billed at regular long distance rates.

Calls placed through the TELUS IP Relay Service are also entirely confidential. TELUS IP Relay agents are professionally trained and follow a strict code of ethics. No record of conversation content is retained.

### How to reach TELUS IP Relay
You can reach TELUS IP Relay through a computer or mobile device.

- http://iprelay.telus.net/ (IP to Voice)
- 1-877-584- 4747 (Voice to IP)
- IP to IP calls are not supported

### How TELUS IP Relay works for IP users
A person who is deaf, hard of hearing, or speech disabled uses a PC or wireless web-enabled device to type his or her conversation to a TELUS IP Relay agent, who then reads the typed conversation to the other party. The TELUS IP Relay agent then types the other party's spoken words back to the IP Relay user.

### Getting started

*PC requirements:*

- Internet connection (DSL, Cable, T1, etc.)
- Internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or 7, Apple Safari 4 or greater, Mozilla Firefox 3.5 or greater, Google Chrome)
- Computer

*Wireless smartphone requirements:*

- Smartphone with QWERTY keyboard
- Web browser supporting AJAX and Javascript (e.g. Bolt browser for Blackberry devices and Skyfire browser for Windows mobile devices)
- Please refer to your smartphone user guides for more information

1. Connect to http://iprelay.telus.net/ from your PC or wireless device. If this is your first time using the service, select __Register for a new account__ and follow the registration process.
2. Log on to TELUS IP Relay with your access number and password
3. In the __Make a call__ tab, enter the phone number in the "number to dial” field".
4. The TELUS IP Relay agent will answer by typing "Welcome to TELUS IP RELAY SERVICE, this is operator #, my name is (agent's name), followed by GA (for "go ahead").
5. The TELUS IP Relay agent will dial the number and will let you know how the connection is progressing (e.g. ringing 1…2…3…), inform you when someone answers, and then give the person's gender in brackets (e.g. (f) female, (m) male).

### Tips for voice users

- Remember to speak directly to the IP Relay user, not to the TELUS IP Relay agent.
- Speak a bit more slowly than usual, as the TELUS IP Relay agent is typing in word for word what you are saying.
- Spell names.
- Always say GO AHEAD when you are finished.
- Always wait for the TELUS IP Relay agent to say GO AHEAD before speaking.
- Let the TELUS IP Relay agent know at the beginning of the call if you are familiar with the service.
- If the IP Relay user is unavailable, you will have the option to leave a text message. For more information please go to http://iprelay.telus.net/ TIPS and FAQ.

### Two-line voice carry over
If you can speak clearly and use text to see what the other person is saying, you may request Voice Carry Over (VCO). Two-line VCO allows you to speak for yourself, while the TELUS IP Relay agent will type what the person says to you.

### How to use IP Relay to contact Koodo
To contact Koodo or to share feedback on the IP Relay service, check out the __Feedback__ section of our [Accessibility](https://www.koodomobile.com/accessibility) help page.

  <h3> What is VoLTE? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

VoLTE is the next step in wireless calling and it comes with some awesome benefits. Koodo customers with a compatible phone will be able to make and receive calls over the fast Koodo LTE network instead of the HSPA network. With VoLTE you’ll get:

- Simultaneous use of voice and LTE data
- Awesome sound quality when calling another VoLTE-enabled device
- Faster call set-up time
- More innovative solutions: Customers will have access to next generation services

### What’s different?

Previously, data was carried over LTE when you weren't on a voice call. If you were on a voice call, then your data was transmitted using the slower 3G speeds. Now, with VoLTE, your data will be carried over LTE even when you’re on a voice call.

### How do I use VoLTE?

Making and receiving VoLTE calls is simple. All you'll need is to:

- Use a VoLTE-compatible phone (most devices sold by Koodo after 2018 are VoLTE-capable)
- Be in a VoLTE-enabled coverage area. See our full coverage list [here](https://choosehappy.koodomobile.com/network "here.")

Most Koodo customers with phones that are VoLTE-enabled will be able to use VoLTE automatically, as long as their phones are up-to-date with the latest software and they’re in VoLTE-capable coverage areas. All calls will be carried over to the Koodo LTE network.

### Where is VoLTE available? 

VoLTE services are currently available nationally, except for the province of Saskatchewan.

VoLTE E911 is available in all VoLTE-enabled areas. In areas where VoLTE E911 is not available, customers are still able to make standard 911 calls.

  <h3> FAQ </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__Do I have to pay more for using VoLTE?__
No. All your voice usage will be billed according to your Koodo plan, so you won't be using any of your monthly data allowance.

__Note:__ VoLTE E911 is available in all VoLTE-enabled areas. In areas where VoLTE and E911 are not available, customers can still make standard 911 calls.

__Does VoLTE use up my data?__
No. VoLTE voice calls will be treated as regular voice calls and will not affect your data usage.

__Can I roam with VoLTE?__
Select phones (please see the 'Which devices support VoLTE' section below) with the latest software installed will be able to place and receive calls over the LTE network instead of the HSPA network while roaming in the U.S. If there isn’t any VoLTE coverage, or if customers don't have a VoLTE-enabled device, customers will continue roaming on the 4G (HSPA) network. VoLTE roaming rates will be the same as current HSPA roaming rates.

### Changes with VoLTE roaming
●	Calls shown on bills may be listed in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), as opposed to local time<br>
●	Calls shown on bills will have the location listed (i.e. USA instead of a specific city or state)<br>
●	Some location-based short-codes might not work.<br>
●	911 calls while roaming will not show up on your bill.<br>

Wireless public alerting compatible devices

On a Canada-wide plan, your anytime minutes can be used to call anywhere in Canada, coast to coast, without paying long distance rates. 

### __Canada-wide Family Calling__ 
If you have a Canada-wide plan, then your Family Calling is Canada-wide too. You'll never see a long distance charge for calls from anywhere in Canada to anywhere in Canada. If you've got a family member who doesn't have a Canada-wide plan, their Family Calling only includes local numbers. Simple solution? Have them switch to a Canada-wide plan.

### __Using up your anytime minutes__
With our Canada-wide plans, Canada is like one huge zone, so you won't be charged long distance rates for domestic calls - even if you go over your anytime minutes.

If you use up all your anytime minutes in your monthly plan, additional calls you make from within Canada to anywhere in Canada will be charged at our standard rate of $0.60 per minute.

### __Just so you know__
- All calls use per-minute billing.
- There is no difference between 'Unlimited minutes' and 'Unlimited Canada-wide minutes' - they’re both unlimited Canada-wide minutes!

Using your Koodo minutes in Canada

Wi-Fi calling lets you call and message (text and MMS) over Wi-Fi when you have little or no network coverage. You can use it to call and message just like you do on the regular network. It’ll work even if the person you’re calling or texting isn’t using Wi-Fi Calling.

[Learn more about Wi-Fi Calling.](https:////assets.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/5bdGZhPbDa3SIqmhOpqABK/e0e1897acd95e2cf19faaaa2d547e45d/WiFi_Calling_terms_and_conditions_.pdf)<br><br>

## Call and text messages over Wi-Fi

When Wi-Fi Calling is turned on, your phone will automatically use an available Wi-Fi network, if it determines that you have low or no cellular coverage.

If you’re making a call in an area with VoLTE cellular coverage and then move out of the coverage area, your phone will automatically switch to Wi-Fi Calling without interrupting the call (this also works when moving from Wi-Fi to VoLTE). If you’re using Wi-Fi calling and you move away from Wi-Fi and into a non VoLTE coverage area, then your call will drop.

## Wi-Fi Calling locations

Wi-Fi Calling is only available in Canada. When you’re outside Canada, your phone will not allow Wi-Fi calling or messaging. This feature is available across Canada.

## Wi-Fi Calling requirements

In order to enable and use Wi-Fi calling, you’re going to need:

  - A Koodo Postpaid monthly plan (sorry, Wi-Fi Calling isn’t available on Prepaid plans)
  - An LTE SIM
  - An active Koodo Self Serve account
  - A Wi-Fi connection that allows Voice over IP calling (VoIP). 

__Note:__ A minimum speed of 1 Mbps is recommended. Slow speeds will affect the quality of the call.

## Wi-Fi Calling for Android   

__Software requirements:__
- Running the latest software update available over the air

__Turning on Wi-Fi Calling for Android__

(Steps may differ between manufacturers)
1.	Open __Call Settings__
2.	Turn on __Wi-Fi Calling__
3.	Enter your phone number. You’ll get a verification code. Enter the code to continue.
4.	You’ll need to read and accept the __Wi-Fi Calling Terms and Conditions__
5.	Enter your __Emergency 911 Address__

__How to tell if you’re using Wi-Fi calling on Android__

Once you see the Wi-Fi calling icon on the status bar of your phone, you can make a Wi-Fi call. Wi-Fi Calling conveniently calls those on your contact list the same way as you'd make calls on cellular. Your phone will only access Wi-Fi calling when you are in a low signal area.

![Wi-Fi calling icon shown in top-left corner of Android phone status bar](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/4Fl2UeIKRvzl626cYpdsLA/3a195fc903adae8e28cc4e44e84ebfeb/WiFi_Calling1.png)

## Wi-Fi Calling for iPhone

Phone requirements:
- iPhone 6 or newer

Software requirements:
- iOS 11.3 or newer (remember to update your carrier settings when prompted to do so)

__Turning on Wi-Fi Calling for iPhone__

__Step 1:__ Enable VoLTE

1. Open __Settings__
2. Select __Cellular__
3. Select __Cellular Data Option__
4. Select __Voice & Data__
5. Enable VoLTE

__Step 2:__ Enable Wi-Fi Calling

__How to tell if you are using Wi-Fi calling on iPhone__

Once you see the word Wi-Fi beside the Koodo network name on the status bar of your phone, you can make a Wi-Fi call. Wi-Fi Calling conveniently calls those on your contact list the same way as you'd make calls on cellular. Your phone will only access Wi-Fi calling when you are in a low signal area.

![iPhone status bar shows Wi-Fi calling is activated](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/2WExYrwF3PqI4VAp1ndNcV/3e76f6a9bebe10bebbab919506a3fa55/WiFi_Calling2.png)

## Wi-Fi Calling Billing Details

Wi-Fi calling doesn’t cost extra. Wi-Fi calls and messages are treated the same as cellular calls or messages. Also, there is no charge to use Wi-Fi Calling for a Canadian long distance call.

Here are some details of how Wi-Fi Calling is billed:

- __Local calls:__ these calls will be deducted from your monthly voice allowance and any overage will be rated according to your plan
- __Canada calls (domestic long distance):__ you will not be charged long distance
- __USA or international long distance calls:__ customer will be billed at their plan’s standard international long distance rate

__Note:__ Wi-Fi calling will not use up data from your Koodo wireless plan. However, it does use data from the Wi-Fi Internet access point.

## 9-1-1 over Wi-Fi

For the most reliable 9-1-1 experience, we strongly recommend you place 9-1-1 calls using the mobile network or a landline if available.

__Important:__ If you must call 9-1-1 over Wi-Fi, your call will be answered by a specialized operator who will ask you to confirm your location and route your call to the correct regional Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Remember, in the event that you are unable to speak with the operator, the address you entered in your phone __Wi-Fi Calling settings__ menu will be shared with the operator. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to determine your phone location when making a 9-1-1 call over Wi-Fi.

Be sure to keep your Emergency 9-1-1 address up-to-date (from your phone Wi-Fi Calling settings menu) to ensure emergency services have accurate information to locate you in case of an emergency.

__Note:__ Text 9-1-1 (T911) is not supported over Wi-Fi at this time.

Wi-Fi calling

Starting on February 7th 2024, older devices may require software or settings updates or replacement to continue using Picture and Group messaging (MMS).

As technology evolves, older network equipment becomes outdated and needs replacement. Select customers will need to update either their settings or their devices.

__What is MMS?__

Multimedia Messaging Service, better known as “MMS,” is the way mobile devices send and receive pictures, videos, and group conversations across networks. 

MMS is supported across phone manufacturers and operating systems on nearly all phone models that have data capabilities. MMS messages are sent through your normal messaging app that sends and receives text messages. 

__Note:__ Multiple applications, like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and others all have similar features to MMS. 

Third-party messaging services, like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, which have picture, video, and group message features are __not affected__ by this change.

__Which customers will be affected?__

Customers may be affected if: 

- They haven’t installed the most recent software update 
- Their devices are no longer supported by manufacturers’ software updates
- Their devices were purchased outside of Canada
- Their devices haven’t been certified by Koodo

## FAQ

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Will this affect my battery life? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

No, MMS services are normal phone services, and changing these settings will not impact your battery life or performance.
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Will I be charged for MMS? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

No, MMS services are normal phone services, and all Koodo rate plans include nationwide picture and group messaging. MMS also doesn’t count against your data allotment.

Check your rate plan in Koodo Self Serve to confirm whether International MMS is included in your plan. If not, there may be charges when sending messages to international numbers.
