The Device Care Products

The Tab makes it easy for you to get the phone you really want on the terms that are right for you.

It’s basically the easy and affordable way to get a new phone with Koodo. Once your Tab balance reaches zero, your monthly bill actually goes down – you’ll only need to pay your monthly plan charge.

__Good to know:__ To be eligible for the Tab, you’ll need to pass a credit check. If you don't have a Tab and you want to bring your own phone to Koodo, you won't need to pay a Tab balance.

[Learn more.](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/services/tab "Learn more.")

## What are my options on the Tab?
The Tab makes getting the right balance of upfront cost and monthly payment easy. If you choose an option with a larger Tab, you can get the latest phones at the lowest upfront cost, as low as $0. Or you can choose a Tab option that allows you to pay more upfront and lower your monthly payments. 

Some rate plans might only be available depending on the Tab you choose. See available rate plans on Tabs as well as the differences between Tab types on our [rate plans page](https://www.koodomobile.com/rate-plans#.). 

## __Finding your Tab balance in Self Serve__
You can see the remaining balance owing on your Tab by logging into [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Self Serve") and selecting __Koodo Tab__ from the Self Serve menu.

At the top, you’ll see a snapshot of your remaining Tab balance as well as the number of months remaining before your Tab reaches $0. To view a more detailed list of Tab transactions, scroll to the “Tab History” section at the bottom of this page. You might notice that the Tab balance is shown as a negative number. This simply means that you have a remaining balance that will be reduced each month through your Tab payments.

__Please note:__ As of July 5, 2020, Tab balance and transaction details will no longer be on the downloaded PDF bill and can only be seen on the “Koodo Tab page” in Self Serve. Learn more about [the Koodo Tab page](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/the-koodo-tab-page-in-self-serve).

## __Changing your rate plan on the Tab__
Plan not suiting your needs? No worries. Check out [Self Serve](https://identity.koodomobile.com/as/authorization.oauth2?client_id=unifiedss_koodo&response_type=code&scope=profileinfohighdetail%20customerinfo%20internetservicemanagement%20securitymgmt%20paymentmanagement%20ordermgmt%20invoiceinfo%20devicemanagement%20phonenumbermgmt%20accountinfo%20accountmanagement%20loyaltyandrewards%20priceplaninfo%20accountactivity%20paymentprocessing%20wifimanagement%20PartnerProfile%20profilemanagement%20usagepreferencemanagement%20usagemeter%20wlspaymentmgmt%20homephonemanagement%20usagemanagement%20usagedetails%20usagenotificationacceptancehistory%20usageblockmanagement%20serviceeligibility%20servicemanagement%20hellocustomer%20billpreferencemanagement%20identityinfofulldetail%20serviceassociation%20callcontrolmanagement%20wlsserviceagreement%20wlsserviceandfeature%20wlspriceplan%20userprofileselfreg&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.digital.koodomobile.com%2Foauth2%2Fcallback) to find something that works for you. Note that your rate plan options may vary based on things like your Tab or any special promotions you received when you signed up.

If you want to change to a rate plan that is not available for your Tab or the promotion you received when you signed up, you will need to pay off your remaining Tab and/or Tab Bonus balance before switching to another plan. 

If you want to migrate your service to TELUS, [you can carry your Tab and Tab Bonus balances with you](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/carrying-your-tab-from-koodo-to-telus) and continue making monthly Tab payments with your TELUS plan. Your plan on TELUS must maintain the same minimum monthly rate plan spend that was required for your Tab with Koodo.

## __Paying off your Tab__
- When you sign up with a Tab, your Tab balance will be split into 24 months. Each month, you’ll pay a Tab charge, which reduces the Tab balance until it reaches $0.
- You have the option to pay off your Tab balance in full before it reaches $0, but before you can pay off your Tab Balance, you'll need to wait for at least 90 days after you sign up for a Tab. If you pay off your Tab balance but still have a remaining Tab Bonus balance, it will continue to go down each month until it reaches $0 after 24 months.
- __To pay off your Tab balance__, log in to Self Serve then go to "Koodo Tab" to confirm. The charge will be added to your next bill.
- Similarly, when you cancel or upgrade your services, your Tab balance will be added to your next bill. Any remaining credits will help pay down the charge.
- You can pay off your Tab Bonus only when you __cancel, upgrade, or change to an ineligible rate plan__ before the balance reaches $0. See more below about the Tab Bonus.

### How does the Tab Drop-Off work?
Once your Tab balance is $0, the Tab charge drops off your bill, leaving you with more money in your pocket each month.

### What is the Tab Bonus?
Similar to the Tab, the Tab Bonus helps to reduce the cost of your phone, making it easy for you to get the phone you really want. The difference between the Tab and the Tab Bonus is that you pay a Tab charge to reduce your Tab balance every month, but your Tab Bonus is all for you - on us. Learn more about the [Tab Bonus](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/Tab-bonus?search_api_views_article_search_fulltext=the%20tab%20bonus).

## __Getting a new plan if you activated or upgraded before April 19, 2015__
Our [Canada-wide plans](https://www.koodomobile.com/rate-plans "Canada-wide plans") are available with the new Tab only. As an existing customer, you can switch to a new plan when you upgrade your phone or when you pay off your Tab balance.

If you’re currently receiving a 10% bring-your-own-phone (BYOP) discount, you’re free to switch to our new plans anytime.

Just so you know, since the new plans are already discounted, you’ll no longer receive an additional 10% off your monthly bill when you make the switch.

## __Account suspension__
If your account is suspended for non-payment, your Tab charge will still be applied on a monthly basis.

To remove the suspension on your account, log in to your [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Self Serve") account to make the required payment. A reconnection fee of $50 will apply.

## __Account cancellation and phone upgrades__
If you cancel your account or upgrade your phone before your Tab balance has been paid off, you’ll be charged the remaining Tab balance and/or the Tab Bonus balance on your next bill (or directly in store for phone upgrades). Please note that if you pay off your Tab early early but you still have a remaining Tab Bonus (formerly Phone Credit) balance, you will be charged the remaining Tab Bonus balance (subject to any applicable adjustments) upon cancellation or upgrade.

Any recurring charges that were billed at the beginning of your billing cycle or any credit balance under $5 will not be refunded when your service is cancelled.

## What happens if I migrate to TELUS?

If you want to migrate your service to TELUS, [you can carry your Tab and Tab Bonus balances with you](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/carrying-your-tab-from-koodo-to-telus) and continue making monthly Tab payments with your TELUS plan.

If you carry over your Tab to TELUS, your remaining Tab balance will be converted to an Easy Payment® balance. The tax on your remaining Tab balance will be charged upfront, and this tax charge will appear on your next Koodo bill. After you convert your Tab balance to an Easy Payment balance, you'll continue to make equal monthly payments corresponding to the number of billing periods left in your service term. 

If you carry over your Tab Bonus balance to TELUS, your Tab Bonus balance will be converted to a TELUS Device Discount balance. You don't have to pay the remaining Tab Bonus balance, but you'll see a charge for it on your next Koodo bill, along with an adjustment to show that the balance was moved to TELUS. At TELUS, your Device Discount balance will continue to decline monthly until it reaches $0 (unless you cancel, upgrade, or change to an ineligible rate plan with TELUS).

If you migrate to TELUS and don't carryover your Tab, you'll pay the remaining Tab Bonus balance (subject to any applicable adjustments) on your next Koodo bill.

- If there is a balance and your family member is on a different account:

    - Contact our Koodo team to settle the remaining balance.

    - Once that's done, we'll happily help transfer the watch to your family member.

- If there's no remaining balance: simply unpair the smartwatch from the old phone, select 'Remove plan', and pair it with your family member's phone.

This seamless integration ensures you're always reachable on your preferred number, whether using your phone or watch.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Getting started with Amazon Prime </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__What is Amazon Prime?__

A Prime membership gives you the best of shopping and entertainment. Prime members get fast, free delivery on millions of items, and can even get next-day or same-day delivery where available. With Prime Video, you can stream thousands of popular movies, TV shows, and award-winning Amazon Originals. Membership also provides access to millions of ad-free songs and playlists with Amazon Music Prime. You can learn more about these and other benefits by visiting the [Prime home page](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/customer/display.html?ref_=help_search_1-1&nodeId=G6LDPN7YJHYKH2J6&qid=1685577843325&sr=1-1).

__What if you already have an Amazon Prime account?__

Once you add Amazon Prime, you'll be asked to activate your account by either creating a new account if you don't have one yet, or by linking your existing account so you don't lose your watch history or account details. Once you link your existing account, your Prime billing will transfer over to Koodo.

__What are the Prime membership benefits?__

Prime members can enjoy the following benefits:

- __TV shows and movies:__ Watch what you love on __Prime Video__ with award-winning Amazon Originals, as well as movies, TV shows, live sports, and more.
- __Delivery:__ Enjoy fast, free ways to get your orders with options like Two-Day, One-Day, and Same-Day Delivery. Don't need your Prime order right away? Select No-Rush Shipping and earn rewards for future purchases.
- __Music:__ Access millions of ad-free songs and playlists with Amazon Music Prime. Listen with Alexa or on the go when you download to your mobile device.
- __Gaming:__ Get free games, in-game loot, and a Twitch channel subscription every month.
- __Exclusive Deals:__ Prime members get access to an ever-evolving set of special deals and shopping events like Prime Day.

For a more detailed list of Prime benefits, please visit the [Prime help and support page](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/customer/display.html?ref_=help_search_1-1&nodeId=G6LDPN7YJHYKH2J6&qid=1685577843325&sr=1-1)

__Where to watch Prime Video:__

Once you add Amazon Prime to a mobile phone plan and activate your account, you can start watching on your TV, laptop, smartphone, or tablet. 

For more help with [Prime Video](https://www.primevideo.com/), check out the [Prime Video support page](https://www.primevideo.com/help?nodeId=202064830)

## How can you get Amazon Prime?

New and existing customers can get the Amazon Prime add-on with eligible plans.
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Managing your service with Prime Video </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__How can I start using my Amazon Prime benefits?__

To start enjoying your Amazon Prime benefits, first you’ll need to activate your Prime account in Self Serve. After you purchase the add-on, select __“Activate”__ under the Prime Logo:

![Amazon Prime Screenshot - Add-Ons](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/150kUwMPRcRQL4tRY2RZ6U/2737c1955808a09cbe7215eb21327ce4/Amazon_Prime_Screenshot_-_Add_ons_-_Activate_now.JPG?w=1100)

You can also activate each service from your list of subscriptions in the __“Mobile services”__ section of Self Serve: 

![Amazon Prime Screenshot - Mobile Services](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/6snl29FgVlbwhY3W62GOf1/612d3bdf93a18abb79e80a383993e0ba/Amazon_Prime_Screenshot_-_Mobile_Services.JPG?w=1000)

If you already have an account with Amazon Prime, you’ll be able to link your existing account during the Amazon Prime activation process so you don't lose your watch history or account details. Once you link your existing account, your billing will transfer over to Koodo, and you should no longer be charged by Amazon.

__How to cancel Amazon Prime on your Koodo account__

Because there’s no commitment tied to Amazon, you can cancel the bundle at any time through Koodo Self Serve:

1. Log in to Self Serve
2. From the “Self Serve” drop-down menu, select __Mobile services__ 
3. On the “Mobile services” page, under the “My add-ons” section, select __Manage add-ons__
4. On the add-ons page, locate "Amazon Prime" in your list of add-ons, then select the '__x__' to remove it.

![Remove from add-ons list - EN](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/493wdsVPelop65nGUUcO3M/4f40270c9dfef2bb17d740a3e459176e/Remove_from_add-ons_list.PNG)

__What happens to your Amazon Prime account when you cancel it from your Koodo account?__

If you leave Koodo, or if you switch from the qualifying service plan ($44 or more) to one that doesn’t offer Prime, your membership will be automatically canceled. You can also cancel Prime through Self Serve at any time. On your Koodo bill, you’ll be charged a prorated amount starting from the first day of your billing cycle up until the day you cancel Amazon Prime with Koodo.

To continue your Prime membership, click [here](https://www.amazon.ca/amazonprime?language=en_CA).

Log in using your Amazon details and sign up for Prime to continue enjoying the benefits.

__Having trouble logging in to your Amazon Prime account?__

Visit [Koodo Assist](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help?CMP=emc_koodo_prosp) and type “Amazon Prime,” and our digital rep will be happy to help point you in the right direction.

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

__1. What is the Amazon Prime offer with Koodo?__

Get 3 months of access to Amazon Prime, on us, when you get a Postpaid plan of $44 or more. After the 3-month promotional period, the standard Amazon subscription monthly charges (currently $9.99/month + taxes) will appear on your Koodo bill. This promo is available only once to each Koodo customer. <br><br>

__2. How will Koodo billing work if I already pay for Amazon Prime?__

Once you add Amazon Prime to your Koodo account, you’ll be charged starting from the day of your purchase. Because you have 3 months of access, on us, you’ll likely see a prorated amount for Amazon Prime on your first Koodo bill after the 3 months. If you’re new to Koodo and are waiting to receive your new device and/or SIM card, you won't be charged until your order is shipped.

After you add Amazon Prime, it’s important that you __activate__ your account in Self Serve to avoid double billing. During the activation process, you’ll be able to link your existing account so you don't lose your watch history or account details. Once you link your accounts, your billing will transfer over to Koodo.

If you’re still being billed by the streaming service provider after linking your account, you can ask for help on this [Amazon support page](https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=508510&ref_=footer_gw_m_b_he&language=en_CA)<br><br>

__3. Does this offer include all Prime benefits?__

Yes! This means you’ll have access to Prime delivery, Prime Video, Amazon Music, exclusive deals and offers, and much more. <br><br>

__4. How can I qualify for this offer?__

Any existing or new customer on a Postpaid plan of $44 or more can add the service on their account. This is available to new and existing Prime customers. <br><br>

__5. Does streaming on my mobile device count towards my data usage allowance?__

Streaming movies and shows will count towards your data usage allowance, if you're using your mobile data. To use less mobile data, you can connect to Wi-Fi when streaming on your mobile device, or you can download content for offline viewing when the option is available.<br><br>

__6. Is Prime Video ad-supported?__

Starting February 5, 2024 in Canada, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. Prime Video aims to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. Advertisements won’t be included on content that is rented or purchased.

Prime Video customers have the option to pre-register for the monthly Ad Free option* for $2.99/month billed to your payment method registered to your Amazon account, but won’t be billed until Prime Video Ad Free launches. See [Pre-Register for Prime Video Ad Free](https://www.primevideo.com/help?nodeId=TD5EYJIUGQMY13QQdi) for further details. 

*Live events, such as sports, will continue to include advertising.*

If you need additional support, please [contact Amazon support](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/customer/contact-us) to be connected with one of Amazon’s Customer Support agents.

How to set up a guest network

You know what's often the best fix for Internet connection problems? Resetting your devices!

### Resetting your modem

1. Unplug the power cables from the back of the modem device.

2. Wait for around 30 seconds, then go ahead and reconnect the power cable to your modem, extender, and/or Boost Wi-Fi. 

3. After the restart, your modem will need a couple of minutes to re-boot.

4. In your device's Wi-Fi settings, check that you're connected to your Wi-Fi network. Next, open your browser to test your Internet connection again.

__Heads up!__ Sometimes, resetting your modem might be only a temporary fix. If the issue keeps coming back, check out our other [Koodo Internet help pages](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/article-categories/internet-setup) for more information.<br><br>

### Boost Wi-Fi 6 Lite (Wi-Fi 6 Router): How to do a factory reset

You can do a factory reset if your Wi-Fi 6 won’t connect and all other troubleshooting attempts haven’t worked:

1. __Factory reset the Boost Wi-Fi 6 Lite/Wi-Fi 6 Router:__ Press and hold the factory reset button for 3-5 seconds (the factory reset button is located on the back of the device to the right of the LAN ports).

2. The LED will flash __red__ to indicate that a factory reset has occurred. Wait until the light returns to a __solid green__. 

3. Network name and admin password are on the bottom of the device below the removable base.

## What network traffic management means

Data usage is growing in Canada and to make sure that our customers receive a consistent user experience, we manage the traffic on our wireless networks. This means that we use advanced network management technology, like reduced speeds for the Unlimited Data add-on and video experience optimization.

Our Koodo network traffic management policies are explained below:

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Unlimited Data  </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__If you're using wireless data and have Unlimited Data as a Koodo plan perk or a purchased add-on,__ we may reduce or “control” your speeds when your data usage exceeds a specific range of use or threshold. 

## FAQ

__1. Why is Koodo implementing reduced speeds after my plan reaches its full-speed data threshold?__

Unlimited Data allows you to use as much data as you like while in Canada without being charged data overages. After your plan’s full-speed data bucket is exhausted, Koodo will reduce the maximum speed for the remainder of your bill cycle. This allows us to minimize the impact on the experience of our overall customer base of a small number of users with uncharacteristically high usage. As a result, Koodo can maintain an exceptional network experience for all of our customers. 

__2. How does it work?__

When your total data usage exceeds the full-speed data bucket included in your rate plan during your bill cycle, your data speeds will be reduced to a maximum of 512 Kilobits per second (Kbps) for downloads and uploads for the remainder of your bill cycle. Your data speeds will be reset to full speed on the first day of your next bill cycle. 

__3. Who does reduced speeds apply to?__

All existing customers who have a Koodo Unlimited Data add-on or plan perk and who reach their full-speed data threshold during their bill cycle will experience reduced speeds for the remainder of that bill cycle.

__4. What is the impact of reduced speeds?__

Reduced speeds should not affect any applications that require less than 512Kbps of download bandwidth or 512Kbps of upload bandwidth, but it could affect the performance of applications that normally require greater bandwidth. 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. Reduced speeds apply to all types of data traffic, except Voice over LTE (where available), and it doesn’t apply to circuit switch-based voice services (including 911).

__5. What are some activities that can trigger significant data usage?__

The following are some examples of activities that could trigger significant data usage:

- Streaming/downloading video or audio from the Internet
- Sharing your phone’s mobile data connection with a laptop (tethering, where permitted) or with other smartphones (for example, by creating a personal hotspot)
- Using navigation apps
- Uploading or sharing photos and videos through social media, email, or messaging apps
- Browsing the Internet for prolonged periods
- Using apps that automatically update or require the use of location-based services

__6. How can I manage and track my data usage?__

The following tips can help you manage your data usage:

- Connect to a Wi-Fi network when available
- Update applications over Wi-Fi
- Close and sign out of applications whenever possible

To track your data usage, you can use Koodo [Self Serve](https://www.koodomobile.com/my-account/selector?redirect_url=/my-account/usage&env=ra).

  <h3> Wireless Video Experience Optimization  </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

## FAQ <br><br>

__1. What is Wireless Network Experience Optimization?__

In order to enhance the overall performance of our networks for all customers and provide the best possible experience when viewing web pages and streaming videos on your mobile wireless device, we’ve implemented Wireless Network Experience Optimization which improves video streaming and web page loading by encoding files to reduce their size. As a result, videos may load faster and may have less buffering. You may also use less data, which can save you money.

With Wireless Network Experience Optimization in place, you can continue to access the same range of Internet content, applications and services, subject to the general rules in our standard mobility Service Terms.<br><br>

__2. Why is Koodo implementing Optimization?__

The radio spectrum in Canada that is needed to support data use is limited and the networks that rely on this spectrum are rapidly becoming congested. At Koodo, we want to make the best use of the spectrum available to us by ensuring fair access for all customers. As a result, we’ve implemented Wireless Network Experience Optimization throughout our wireless network by managing the amount of bandwidth consumed by streaming videos. <br><br>

__3. What types of Internet content will be optimized?__

Optimization may apply to any detected streaming video that is accessed on a mobile wireless device over the Koodo network in Canada. Optimization doesn’t apply to videos or images saved or downloaded to your device, video messages, or conferencing, or videos you stream when connected to a Wi-Fi network. The level of optimization will differ if optimization by certain video content providers is more restrictive, which in turn will define customer experience.<br><br>

__4. Who does video optimization apply to and when?__

Video network optimization applies to all of our wireless customers. Any device connected to the Koodo wireless network will be optimized in order to preserve the performance of our network and ensure fair access for all customers. This includes smartphones, tablets, Internet keys, and smart hubs. 

Video Experience Optimization has been in effect since November 31, 2012. Web Image Optimization has been in effect as of April 17, 2015.

  <h3> International service provider coverage </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

International service providers may offer different services and their networks may have different frequencies.

In North America, Koodo phones are compatible with HSPA 850/1900 MHZ frequencies or newer. While traveling internationally, Koodo phones are compatible with HSPA 850/900/1800/1900 MHZ frequencies or newer. If the provider within the country doesn't offer the same frequency, your phone might not work on their network.

If the country you're travelling to doesn't have compatible frequency, you could try to rent a phone from a local provider. You can use your Koodo SIM card in the rental phone, access one of our partner companies and be charged with the above roaming rates. [See our PDF list of eligible countries, frequencies and carriers.](https://assets.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/4LXFhimjwcok4pWRX7opfh/ec82c8c4d2d6347da76181f40e05c037/English_Coverage_Maps_Updated_2022_09_30.pdf)

  <h3> Voicemail while Roaming</h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

## Calling to check your voicemail

__If you have Easy Roam:__

- Easy Roam fee will activate from voice usage (if 24 hour period is not already active)
- Minutes will not be used from your monthly plan

__If you're using pay-per-use roaming:__

- The standard roaming pay-per-use rate will apply for each minute of usage

__Heads up!__ Voicemail notifications may not be available in all travel services areas. 

__Tip: You can avoid the Easy Roam fee by using a landline to call your Voicemail. How?__

1. Dial 10-digit handset number (local). or 1 + 10-digit handset number (if long distance).
2. Press * to interrupt the greeting.
3. Enter password.
4. Follow the voice prompts.

__Note:__ Long distance charges will apply on the landline phone if dialing long distance to retrieve messages.

## Using voicemail and applicable charges

If you are using your Koodo mobile device, in most cases you will be able to access your voicemail as usual. Voicemail is treated like any other call while roaming, and the following charges will apply:

- __Easy Roam:__ Will not use your monthly rate plan's minutes, but will activate the daily Easy Roam fee if you haven't done so already.
- __Pay-per-use:__ If you do not have Easy Roam, calls to voicemail will be subject to the roaming pay-per-use rate for the country you’re calling from.

If you’re not able to access your voicemail from your Koodo mobile device, or if you are calling from a landline:

- Dial your own cell phone number from landline and then press * during greeting.

__OR__

- Dial the Voicemail: access numbers either from your cell phone or landline and follow the voice prompts.

__Set up your voicemail before you leave__

Ensure that you have set up your voicemail before leaving Canada, as you will not be able to do so while traveling. To set up your voicemail, try one of the following:

- From your Koodo mobile device, call your 10-digit number and follow the prompts
- From your Koodo mobile device, speed dial 1 and follow the prompts

__Voicemail notifications may not always work__

In some travel destinations, the voicemail notification on your device may not be available when someone leaves you a message in your voicemail.

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

### 1. When do pay-per-use roaming rates apply?
Pay-per-use applies if: you haven't opted into Easy Roam, and/or you travel to a destination that is not eligible for Easy Roam.

### 2. What happens if I have Easy Roam and I use my phone during a layover? Ex: I am travelling to Asia but have a layover in the U.S.
If you have Easy Roam and you use your phone during your layover, you'll be charged $14/day. If you arrive at your international destination on the same day and you use your phone, you'll also be charged $16/day.

### 3. My Koodo rate plan includes unlimited calling and 2 GB of data per billing cycle. I’m travelling to France next week for two days. What does paying the $16 per day for two days get me?
- You'd be able to make calls to Canada and within France.
- You could use your data exactly how you would at home in Canada, and would have 2 GB available minus whatever you’ve already used in your billing cycle so far. If you're on a Shock-Free® data plan, you'll receive data notifications at 50%, 90% and 100%, after which your data will be blocked. You can choose to top up your data at the domestic rate.

### 4. If I'm on a cruise and I have Easy Roam, can I use my Canadian rate plan?
- No, cruises aren't covered by Easy Roam so you'd be charged the roaming pay-per-use rate.
- Our satellite and cruise ship rates:
  - Voice rate: $7/minute
  - Outgoing text messages: $0.75/SMS
  - Data is not available on cruise ships - customers should discuss Wi-Fi access with their cruise ship provider

### 5. I didn't receive an Easy Roam confirmation message. What should I do?
So, you added Easy Roam before you left Canada. You arrived at your destination but didn't get an Easy Roam confirmation message. Here's what you can to do check if it's been added:
- Text ROAM to 7626
- Double-check if Easy Roam has been added to your [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Self Serve") account

### 6. Can I cancel Easy Roam?
Yep! You can opt out by: 

- Logging into [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Self Serve")
- Select "Mobile Services"
- Select "Manage Add-ons"

### 7. Why your bill might be higher than expected when you return home
Oh no! You've returned home from your trip only to find that your bill was higher than usual. If you added Easy Roam after landing in your travel destination, you might have incurred pay-per-use charges up until that point. Check your usage online on your [Self Serve](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Self Serve") account to see details about your charges.

### 8. How can I avoid roaming charges when travelling?
When you arrive at your destination, you’ll receive a Welcome SMS notification explaining your roaming options and the rates, if you choose to use your device. This doesn’t mean that you’re being charged for roaming. 

If you want to avoid roaming charges altogether, simply turn __OFF__ data and data roaming in your device settings, and don’t make calls, answer incoming calls, or send outgoing text messages. 

### 9. How can I avoid roaming charges when close to the U.S. border?
If you’re close to the US border, sometimes the signals from a neighbouring U.S. network are stronger than the Koodo network and your device could connect automatically to a U.S. network as if you’re roaming. If this happens, you’ll likely receive a Welcome SMS notification that makes it seem like you’re in the U.S. and might be accidentally billed as roaming. Here are some tips to avoid accidental roaming when close to the border: 

1. __Turn off data roaming__ 
Having data roaming turned off in your mobile device’s settings when close to the U.S. border will help avoid accidental data roaming charges. 

2. __Manually select Koodo as your mobile network operator__
Your device is already set to automatically connect to the Koodo network while in Canada; however, to ensure seamless service while traveling, this setting will also pick up the applicable U.S. network whenever it’s stronger. If you’re consistently connecting to a U.S. network while still in Canada, you can manually select the Koodo network in your mobile device’s Settings to help avoid this.

__NOTE:__ If you opt to manually select the Koodo network, remember that you’ll need to switch back to the automatic network selection setting if you decide to roam in the U.S. or internationally. This will ensure that your service will work. 

### 10. How will I be charged for Easy Roam?

With Easy Roam, you only pay for the days that you choose to use your phone. Easy Roam will activate when you make a call, answer a call, send a text, or use data while travelling. Once activated, the Easy Roam daily rate will be valid each calendar day that you use the service until 11:59pm in the time zone where you are travelling. You won’t be charged on any days that you don’t do any of those actions. 

Incoming texts don’t activate Easy Roam, so you can receive texts without being charged. Using data over Wi-Fi when data roaming is turned off will also not activate the Easy Roam fee. 

### 11. Do I need to add Easy Roam for each trip?

No. Once you add Easy Roam, you can use it for all future trips. 

### 12. What else is included with Easy Roam?

Use the TELUS Health MyCare app to access health support from the U.S. at no extra cost when using Easy Roam

TELUS Health MyCare Travel provides 24/7 access via phone to U.S. registered nurses while in the states. Get advice on non-urgent health concerns and find out if you should seek in-person care. Learn more [here](https://www.telus.com/en/personal-health/my-care/travel?CMP=__health_acq_Travel_helparticle_Koodo_acquisition_download)

### 13. Why can't I send or receive texts on Easy Roam?

It’s likely that your roaming is not turned on in your Settings. Double-check your Cellular Data Options in your phone's settings and make sure that __Data Roaming__ is turned on.

Easy Roam®

We understand that it can be frustrating if your Koodo Mobile bill is higher than you expected. This page goes through some common reasons and explanations for unanticipated charges on your bill, like proration, credits expiring, previous Tab charges, roaming charges, or long-distance charges. The best way to check why your bill may be higher than expected is to log in to Self Serve and review the line-by-line breakdown of your bill in the __Billing__ tab.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> You’re a new customer with your first bill </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

There are two common reasons that contribute to first bills that are higher than your following monthly bills. They are:

## 1. Partial charges “prorated charges” or “proration.”

To help explain partial charges, we’ll need to start with an explanation of how billing cycles work:

A billing cycle is a one-month period for which you are charged for your services. You typically pay for your month of service at the start of the billing cycle.

__Example:__

Let’s use your favorite video streaming service as an example. They have a billing cycle that starts on the very day you signed up, and that ends exactly 1 month later. For that month of video streaming, you pay the monthly fee at the start of the billing cycle for the month of service you’re about to use. You then pay it again when the cycle renews, at the start of the next one-month cycle.

Koodo and other telecoms also use one-month billing cycles, but we operate a little bit differently. Koodo doesn’t start your billing cycle on the day you activate your mobility service. Instead, we have a few select days in a month when a billing cycle can start. For example, you may have activated your new Koodo service on June 11, but our closest billing cycle start date may not be until June 15.

So you may ask, what happens between the 11th and the 15th? Well, that is where the partial charges come in.

![EN - Partial charges graph](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/2lyG3urrAPTx9tsbJq5HLc/6caf39219ce01a3eed649d97cfff20e0/EN-_Partial_charges_Graph_with_calculation.png?w=800)

If your service plan is $60 a month, you’ll pay that $60 on June 15 for the service used up to July 14. That’s your billing cycle in this example. Then, for the days between your start date (June 11) and the start of the billing cycle (June 15) you’ll pay a partial charge for those 4 extra days (June 11 + 12 + 13 + 14).

__How it’s calculated__

To calculate this charge, you need to take the monthly amount of $60 and divide it by 30 days to get your daily charge. In this example, it’s $2. Then you would take the $2 daily charge and multiply it by the number of partial days. In this example, it's 4 days. That gives you a partial charge of $8.

Add that onto your monthly charge, and you would be paying $68 for your first bill. For all the bills after your first, assuming there are no changes or additional usage charges, you would pay the $60 per month each bill.

Check out [this video](https://youtu.be/-OrlKWPqwu8) to learn more about partial charges on your first bill.

## 2. Connection fees

If you activate or upgrade in store, you'll see a one-time connection fee charge on your first bill, which includes the SIM card fee. For online purchases, including activations and renewals, the connection fee is waived but there is a one-time SIM card fee for new activations. For the connection fee and SIM card fee, check out [this Koodo page](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/bring-your-own-phone?srsltid=AfmBOoozzv7xxxQ06wpWj5nHhjxAaKtl9vPIGfXfiZoUd-ZX5UpLAsPr). 
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> You’re an existing customer adding a new line </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Your first bill is higher than your following monthly bills likely because you’ve been charged partial charges, also known as “prorated charges” or “proration.”

To help explain partial charges, we’ll need to start with an explanation of how billing cycles work. 

A billing cycle is a one-month period for which you are charged for your services. You typically pay for your month of service at the start of the billing cycle.

__Example:__

Let’s use your favorite video streaming service as an example. They have a billing cycle that starts on the very day you signed up, and that ends exactly one month later. For that month of video streaming, you pay the monthly fee at the start of the billing cycle for the month of service you’re about to use. You then pay it again when the cycle renews, at the start of the next one-month cycle. 

Koodo and other telecoms also use one-month billing cycles, but we operate a little bit differently. Koodo doesn't start your billing cycle on the day you signed up for your additional service. Instead, we have a few select days in a month when a billing cycle can start. 

Given that you're an existing Koodo customer, you already have a billing cycle date assigned to you that you’re likely familiar with. It shows up on all of your bills. For example, you may notice that your billing cycle starts on the 15th of every month like clockwork. 

Now when you add a new line to your account, you’ll likely do so on a day that doesn’t line up with your billing cycle date. For example, let’s say you added a second phone plan and it’s activated on June 11 but your billing cycle starts on June 15. You may ask, what happens between the 11th and the 14th?

![EN - Partial charges graph](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/2lyG3urrAPTx9tsbJq5HLc/6caf39219ce01a3eed649d97cfff20e0/EN-_Partial_charges_Graph_with_calculation.png?w=800)

__How it’s calculated__

Continuing with this example, let’s say that the normal monthly amount for your additional phone plan is $60 a month. If we divide that by 30 days, the daily amount is $2 a day. For the 4 days before your billing cycle starts, you’ll pay $8 in partial charges to cover those days, plus the $60 you would have paid anyway for the billing cycle that starts on June 15. In total, you would pay $68 for your first bill after adding the additional phone plan and then the normal $60 every month after that.

  <h3> You upgraded to a new device before completely paying off your Tab </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

When you sign up with a Tab, your Tab balance and Tab Bonus will be split into 24 months. The difference between the Tab and the Tab Bonus is that you pay a Tab charge to reduce your Tab balance every month, but your Tab Bonus is all for you - on us. 

If you decide to upgrade your device or cancel your service before your Tab balance and Tab Bonus reach $0, you’ll be charged the remaining balances on your next bill. 

This will appear as two different line items:<br><br>

   __Tab Payoff:__ This is your remaining Tab balance left over from your old device

   __Tab Bonus Payoff:__ This is the remaining balance on the upfront discount you received towards your device at the time of purchase.

In some instances, you might see two Tab charges on your bill as well.<br><br> 

__The first__ will be your final Tab charge from your previous Tab 

__The second__ Tab charge will be for the new phone you upgraded to.

![Example 2](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/5jI31IbqjwPj1TRJhMGcJn/d19a965e087f8d32f590f900d2ca3cf1/Example_2.png?w=1000)

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> You’ve made a change to your rate plan or add-ons  </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

It’s likely because you’ve been charged partial charges, also known as prorated charges or proration.

To help explain partial charges, we’ll need to start with an explanation of how billing cycles work. 

A billing cycle is a one-month period for which you are charged for your services. You typically pay for your month of service at the start of the billing cycle.

__Example:__

Let’s use your favorite video streaming service as an example. They have a billing cycle that starts on the very day you signed up, and that ends exactly one month later. For that month of video streaming, you pay the monthly fee at the start of the billing cycle for the month of service you’re about to use. You then pay it again when the cycle renews, at the start of the next one-month cycle. 

Koodo and other telecoms also use one-month billing cycles, but we operate a little bit differently. Koodo doesn’t start your billing cycle on the day you signed up for your additional service. Instead, we have a few select days in a month when a billing cycle can start. 

Given that you're an existing Koodo customer, you already have a billing cycle date assigned to you that you’re likely familiar with. It shows up on all of your bills. For example, you may notice that your billing cycle starts on the 15th of every month like clockwork. 

Now when you change your service, you’ll likely do so on a day that doesn’t line up with your billing cycle date. For example, let’s say you changed your Koodo plan on June 11 but your billing cycle starts on June 15. You may ask, what happens between the 11th and the 14th?

![EN - 11th and 14th](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/4pG9zemyp7BAbQ5JRLT5gL/cc89416058e90ec6b7a8f359457e4826/EN_-_Partial_charges_Graph.png?w=800)

__How it’s calculated__

Continuing with this example, let’s say that the new monthly plan is $60 a month. If we divide that by 30 days, the daily amount is $2 a day. For the 4 days before your billing cycle starts, you’ll pay $8 in partial charges to cover those days, plus the $60 you would have paid anyway for the billing cycle that starts on June 15. 

Now for the credit, let’s say that your old monthly amount is $50. Similarly, if we divide that by 30 days, the daily amount is $1.67 a day. For those 4 days, you’ve already paid for them and a credit is due to you for the daily amount multiplied by 4 days, $6.68. 

In the end, you would pay $102 for your first bill after your plan change, plus the partial charges, and then subtract $6.68 for the credit that you’ll receive. This brings the total to $61.32 for that bill and then $60 per month after that.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> You’re looking for your promotional credit  </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

There are a few common reasons your promotional credit may be missing, depending on whether the credit was recently applied, whether you’ve had it for some time, or whether you recently changed your plan.

__If it’s a newer credit, it may not have made it to your bill yet__

If you recently signed up for a new service or had a credit applied to your account, it can take 1 to 2 billing cycles for it to appear. This means that it may not show up until your next bill or the one after that. 

Rest assured that you’ll still be getting the full value of the credit. For example, if the credit is valid for 12 months, the 12-month period will start once you’ve received your first credit so you won’t miss out on any savings. 

__If it’s an older credit, it may have expired__

If you got a great deal when you signed up for your service, it’s important to keep in mind that these discounts are applied in the form of a monthly credit that has an __expiry date.__ 

On your bill, it may look like you’re paying the full amount, but you’ll see a credit applied. 

If your bill has gone up suddenly even though you’ve been a customer for a while, it’s possible that the credit may have expired. 

Don’t worry, we have other promotions that you’re likely eligible for. To view them, you can visit the offers section in [Self Serve](http://koo.do/2rVC2N3).

__If you changed your plan, the credit may no longer be compatible__

If you’re interested in taking advantage of a new promotional plan, it’s important to keep in mind that credits associated with the previous plan could potentially be forfeited. 

This is because credits received during sign up were provisioned based on specific conditions (rate plan, minimum rate plan value, additional line, etc.), and therefore may not be compatible with a new plan. 
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> You received a promotional credit that’s lower than you expected </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

When we offer you a bill credit at our discretion, either one-time or recurring on a temporary basis, it includes taxes based on the applicable taxes levied in the province of supply. This means it’s displayed on your bill as the before-tax value. 

For example, let's say you’re in Ontario and were offered a $10 credit for activating a new line on your Koodo account. Here’s how the breakdown would appear on your bill:

| Amount shown on the bill as activation credit ($10 including tax) | -$8.85 |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| Amount HST (13%) is reduced by                                    | $1.15  |
| Total amount of credit                                            | $10.00 |

How to pay your bill

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>

** To protect your privacy, this is an online-only transaction that must be done using Self Serve.

Signing up for pre-authorized payments (also referred to as auto-pay) is easy! Your bill payment will be automatically withdrawn from your chequing account, credit card, or Visa Debit/MasterCard Debit card every month, which means you don't need to remember to pay your bills, and they'll always be paid on time. No more late charges!

__Note:__ Pre-authorized payments are withdrawn approximately 15 days before the last day of your next month’s billing cycle. __Example:__ If your billing cycle is from March 26th to April 25th, your pre-authorized payment will be applied roughly 15 days before April 25th. 

### __To set up pre-authorized payments:__

1. [Log in to your Self Serve account.](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Log in to your Self Serve account")
2. Click the __Self Serve__ dropdown menu, then select __My profile__.
3. Under the __Payment__ section and beside Pre-authorized payments, select __Manage__.
4. Choose a payment method. 
5. Enter the details of your payment method, then select __Next__.
6. Review your payment information, then select __Submit__.
7. Done! You'll get a confirmation email from us. 

### __Heads up!__ 

If you're setting up pre-authorized payments using your chequing account, you'll need your transit, institution, and account numbers. You can find these on a cheque or through your online banking. 

![The transit, institution, and account numbers are shown on a cheque.](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/2FKBp0eiqwp7cZuJ15ydIM/03f255284dba1c6ab683f59908c27296/cheque_en.png)

If you've just signed up for pre-authorized payments and aren't sure whether you should pay your first bill or if it will automatically be taken from your bank account, __please note:__ it can take one full bill cycle for your PAP to register. In order to avoid paying late fees, you can make your first payment through your bank or by credit card. If you pay your bill before the pre-authorized payment comes through to us, nothing will happen to your PAP and no double payment will be taken from your bank account.

### __To update pre-authorized payments (e.g. update your credit card information):__

1. [Log in to your Self Serve account.](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Log in to your Self Serve account")
2. Select __Overview__
3. Select __Manage payments__
4. Choose a payment method
5. Enter the updated details of your payment method, then select __Next__
6. Review your payment information, then select __Submit__
7. Done! You'll get a confirmation email from us. 

### __To cancel pre-authorized payments:__

1. [Log in to your Self Serve account.](https://koodomobile.com/selfserve "Log in to your Self Serve account")
2. Select __Overview__
3. Select __Manage payments__, then __Remove payment__
4. Your account will then be switched to manual payments and should be reflected in your Koodo online account within the hour. If you stop pre-authorized payments, any auto-pay discounts tied to them will also stop immediately.
5. Done! You'll get a confirmation email from us. 

### __Good to know__

- We accept payments through a bank, Canadian credit card, and Visa Debit/MasterCard Debit card only.
- If you have a balance currently owing, you can make a one-time credit card payment.
- There's no commitment - you can cancel pre-authorized payments whenever you want.

Koodo currently does not have any 5G plans available for New Customers, but has many 4G plan offerings available that reach download speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Existing customers on 5G legacy plans will continue to enjoy 5G speeds of up to 250 Mbps unless they change their rate plan. <br><br>

__4. How do I know if I have 5G network access?__

If you are an existing customer using a 5G enabled device on a 5G speed plan, in an area that has access to 5G network coverage, then you will see the 5G icon on the top right corner of your screen.

If you are on a 3G speed or 4G speed plan, you may see the 5G logo on your phone. You’re getting the reliability of the 5G network at the speed (and price) of your 3G/4G speed plan.<br><br>

__5. What’s the difference between 5G speed plans and 4G speed plans?__

Existing customers on plans with 5G speeds may reach download speeds of up to 250 Mbps, while plans with 4G speed may reach download speeds of up to 100 Mbps, no matter what network you are connected to or the network logo you see on your device. Network speeds vary with location, signal, environmental conditions, Internet traffic, network management, customer device and customer rate plan. Access to the 5G network requires a compatible device and rate plan.

A plan with 5G speeds does not guarantee access to the 5G network. 5G network access requires a compatible device and connection to Koodo’s 5G network, where available. However, even with a 4G capable device and a connection to the 4G LTE network, you can still get a plan with 5G speeds.<br><br>

__6. Why has my data/internet connection slowed down?__

Mobile data throttling (slowed data connection as a result of being pushed down to a lower speed) occurs when you’ve used up the data on your account. Note that if you are an existing customer with the Unlimited Data perk on your account, it allows you to use as much data as you like while in Canada and never be charged data overages.  

However, 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.

 Speed experience in rate plans

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.

  <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.

__Important:__ United States carriers will have turned down their 2G and 3G/HSPA networks. As a result, customers will require a LTE or VoLTE capable device to use U.S. roaming add-ons or they will not receive service (including 9-1-1 calls) while traveling in the U.S. Impacted customers will also not be able to access 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.

Check out our FAQs to learn how this will affect your Koodo Prepaid roaming service in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands): 

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> FAQS: US 2G and 3G/HSPA NETWORK SHUT DOWN </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__Who’s affected by the shutdowns?__

The U.S. 2G and 3G/HSPA network shutdowns will only affect phones that don’t support 4G LTE data and Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) roaming.

Those with an affected device will no longer be able to make or receive wireless calls (including 911 calls), send or receive text messages, or use cellular data while roaming in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands).

__Note:__ The U.S. shutdown won’t affect your Canadian service.<br><br>

__Which Koodo Prepaid services will be affected?__

Following the T-Mobile 2G network shutdown and the AT&T 3G/HSPA network shutdown, when roaming in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands), customers will require a LTE or VoLTE capable device to use U.S. roaming add-ons traveling to the United States or they will not receive coverage for the following:

- 911 calls
- voice calls
- accessing voicemail
- receiving notifications, text messages, or data

Impacted customers will be unable to use services such as:

- welcome messages
- voicemail notifications
- usage notifications for voice
- notifications when trying to make an international call 
- the ability to set up voicemail while in the U.S. <br><br>

__Can I continue to use my Koodo Prepaid service in Canada?__

### Travelling with your prepaid phone

Only phones on a monthly plan can be used internationally. If you have a Koodo Prepaid phone, you can only use it in Canada and the U.S.

Planning to use your phone in the States? Then our U.S. Roaming Booster add-ons are the way to go! There's no pay-per-use charges on Koodo Prepaid. Just grab one of our [U.S. Roaming Booster add-ons](https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-plans "U.S. Roaming Booster add-ons") starting from $5 before you pack your bags. Add-ons are activated when you complete your purchase. Any unused minutes, text or data will be carried over when you renew your base plan, so choose the largest Booster add-ons if you want to enjoy our best rate.

Roaming services are available in all 50 States in the U.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii) as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

Talk Boosters® can be used to make Canada-wide, U.S. and international calls. 

Koodo Prepaid has national coverage, which means you don’t pay roaming fees across Canada, and provides coverage to 96% of the Canadian population. To see where 96% of the Canadian population live, you can check out our [network coverage map](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/network "network coverage map").

### Prepaid Canada-wide calling
If calling isn’t included in your plan, you’ll need to purchase a Canada-wide Talk Booster® add-on to make calls.

If you have a Province-wide plan and want to make a call outside of your province, you’ll have to purchase a Canada-wide Talk Booster add-on. Here’s how Province-wide plans work:

- If your province is Ontario, you can make or receive calls within Ontario with a Province-wide plan
- If you’re visiting another province, you can also call anyone within that province, but won’t be able to receive calls while in another province without a Canada-wide Talk Booster add-on

If you’ve got a Canada-Wide Plan, Canada-wide Talk Booster® add-on to make calls aren’t necessary.

Canada-wide calling means you can make outgoing calls to any number within Canada with no provincial restrictions. You’ll still receive all incoming calls across Canada, regardless of the province they’re from.

If you’re travelling to another province, you can make Canada-wide calls while you’re there. You’ll still receive unlimited incoming calls and will be able to call your home province while travelling without the need to get a Booster add-on.

__To purchase a Long Distance Talk Booster add-on, follow these steps:__

1. Log in to your [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com/) account
2. Select the "Base Plan & Booster Add-ons" tab
3. In the "Base Plan Minutes, Data & Booster Add-on(s)" section, select __Add Booster Add-ons__
4. From the "Available Booster Add-on(s)" dropdown menu, select the add-ons you want, then select __Add to My Order>>__
5. When you've finished selecting all the booster add-ons you want, select Purchase Booster Add-on(s).

### Changes to Prepaid U.S. and international long distance calling
As of June 21, 2018, Canada-wide Talk Boosters will no longer be able to make international & U.S. calls.

Customers who purchased a Canada-wide Talk Booster Add-on before June 21, 2018, can still use it to make U.S. and international calls until it is used up.

### Introducing new Long Distance Talk Booster Add-ons!
If you need to make an international call (including the U.S.) you’ll have to purchase a [Long Distance Talk Booster add-on](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/prepaid-plans). Long Distance Talk Booster add-ons can be used to make calls to 50 international destinations. Any unused minutes will be carried over when you renew your base plan.

### International Incoming Calling
- If you're on a base plan that includes calling, you can receive free incoming calls from any country in the world.
- If you’re on a plan that doesn’t include calling, you’ll have to purchase a Canada-wide or Long Distance Talk Booster add-on to receive calls from any domestic or international destinations. Incoming calls are deducted at 1 min per min of talk from your Talk Booster.

<br><br>Need help? Visit [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com "Prepaid Self Serve") for help and to see your Booster-add on balance.

### Don't want a roaming add-on?
You won't be able to use your Koodo Prepaid phone in the U.S. without a U.S. Roaming Boosters add-on.

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

__1. How will I know if the port went through successfully? Will I be notified once the port has been completed?__

Once the port request is submitted, you can track your port request by logging in to [Self Serve](http://koodo.com/selfserve). With your old SIM card still in your phone or with your old eSIM still activated, you’ll receive an authorization SMS, asking you to authorize the transfer. Reply YES to confirm the number transfer to Koodo. Once you’ve replied YES, insert your Koodo SIM card (or activate your Koodo eSIM). When the transfer has been completed, you'll receive the following SMS from Koodo:

“Koodo Message: Welcome to Koodo. Your transfer request has been completed successfully. Please restart your phone now for the transfer to take effect. Thanks for being a Koodo customer. Free Koodo msg."<br><br>

__2. How do I transfer my number from one Koodo account to another Koodo account?__

Sorry, we’re unable to transfer a Koodo number from one line to another pre-existing Koodo line, but don't fret! We have a solution - you can initiate a [TOWN](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/transfer-of-ownership-town) and transfer the line and number to another account.<br><br> 

__3. Is there a fee to port a number?__

Great news! Porting a number to Koodo can be done through Self Serve - free of charge!<br><br> 

__4. Can I transfer a cell phone number from another company to a new Koodo cell phone without having the old cell phone or SIM card in my possession (it’s lost, stolen, etc.)?__

Yes, it’s possible, but in order to complete your number transfer to Koodo, it would require you to contact your original service provider within 90 minutes of initiating the number transfer with us.<br><br>

__5. Is it possible to transfer my residential line to a cell phone?__ 

Yes, it is possible and we’re more than happy to help! It’ll require you to schedule a callback using [Koodo Assist](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help?autobots=rollout).<br><br>

__6. How do I transfer my home phone number with a different service provider to Koodo?__

The steps to transfer your [home phone](https://www.koodomobile.com/phones/wireless-home-phone) number are similar to those outlined under “Koodo Postpaid” above:

1.	From the __Self Serve__ drop-down menu, select __Mobile services__.

__8. Can I transfer my TELUS Prepaid or Koodo Prepaid number to Koodo Postpaid if my account is inactive or in suspend?__

If you're a Koodo Prepaid customer and your account is in suspend, you can move your number to Koodo Postpaid without topping up. TELUS Prepaid customers will have to top up and ensure their accounts are active.<br><br>

__9. Why didn’t my port request go through?__

If you’re having issues porting your phone number to Koodo, it could be because you didn’t respond within 90 minutes, or the information you provided was incorrect (e.g. the account number or IMEI). Please double-check that your information is correct with your current provider and feel free to reach out to Koodo Assist for more help. You can always try the port request again or re-submit port in [Self Serve](http://koodo.com/selfserve).<br><br>

  <h3> What data does Koodo use in this Generative AI support tool? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Our GenAI support tool utilises a proprietary pre-trained generative AI model and our mobility monthly and Home Internet Help Article content to help you easily find the answer to your questions. It focuses on Koodo information to help with service-related questions and it may occasionally use data from its training dataset that’s external to Koodo.

  <h3> How does Koodo keep my personal information safe? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

The purpose of this GenAI support tool is to help mobility monthly and Home Internet customers access information using Koodo Help articles. It cannot answer account-specific questions and cannot access information about your Koodo account. __You must never share any personal information with the tool.__ Personal information means information that identifies you or that may render you identifiable, including your phone number, email and passwords. 

At Koodo, we respect our customers' privacy and take great care to safeguard personal information. As part of our ongoing commitment to putting customers first, we have a long-standing policy of protecting privacy in all of our business operations.

  <h3> What else should I know? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

AI is pretty smart, but it’s not perfect; it has its limitations. Generative AI is designed to create new information, meaning that it can be both creative and random.

Support tools powered by Generative AI have a potential for providing unexpected responses or information that is not 100% accurate. This means that GenAI may provide slightly different answers at different times. 

The chatbot BETA launched on July 16, 2024 is a pilot, which means that you may come across some inaccurate information while we’re fine tuning. For the most accurate information, please refer to the Help articles and links that the GenAI provides as reference.

To manage this, we’ve aligned with ISED Canada’s Voluntary Code of Conduct and configured the chatbot for reliable responses based on our Help Articles. Ongoing human monitoring ensures responsible deployment.

We have configured Koodo Assist  to use Help articles as its main source of information. We also ran multiple tests to help ensure we catch any issues and keep things safe.

  <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.

- 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).

Whether you're looking to get a new [plan](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/rate-plans?INTCMP=KMNew_NavMenu_Shop_Plans) that offers more, or to downsize based on your current needs, changing your Koodo rate plan is easy! Just remember that certain promotional plans may require that you meet eligibility criteria, so if you don't see the plan you want as an available option, make sure you read "The Legal Stuff"  located at the bottom of the "Change my plan" page in Self Serve to fully understand the requirements.

Follow the steps below to easily change your rate plan right in Self serve:

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.

### How to redeem your special promotion
If you’ve received an SMS, email, phone call, or any other form of communication from Koodo informing you that a special rate plan change offer is available for you, follow these simple steps to redeem it: 

1. Log in to __Self Serve__.
2. Select __Self Serve__ at the top of the screen, and select __Mobile services__ from the drop-down menu.
3. Select __Change my plan__. (Here, you may notice that promotional rate plans have been loaded into your account. These special deals will appear at the top of the rate plan list in pink and will be exclusive to you!)

Easy peasy!

### 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.

Changing your phone number

![Koodo SIM cards fit standard, micro, and nano readers.](//images.ctfassets.net/8cecwr1x4jkf/xRdIYP7WcX505jL1DBGOZ/3b5ae260d4eb1c7b4af6eaaa26bda6d5/sim_card_animation_3.gif?w=300)

A SIM is a tiny card with a big job! It stores your data and phone number and carries a unique identification number that links you to a specific mobile phone company. (Your text messages are not stored on your SIM and will not be transferred from your old phone.)

Without a SIM card inside your phone, or if the SIM is not working correctly, your phone will not be able to make calls, send texts, or connect to your mobile network. 

__Note:__ To protect your privacy, this is an online-only transaction that must be done using Self Serve.

  <h3> New activations </h3>

<div class="content">

### New to Koodo?

The SIM card we’ve included with your online order has all 3 card sizes (Standard, Micro, and Nano) in 1 convenient package. Simply push out the SIM card size that fits your phone, insert it into your phone, and start using your Koodo services. Once you insert your new SIM card, your phone number will be active.

If you ever plan on transferring your number from another provider to Koodo, you can check out our [help page](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/moving-your-number-koodo?search_api_views_article_search_fulltext=porting) to find out how.

### Not getting any network service?

### Getting a SIM card error message?

First double-check that your SIM card is correctly inserted; if it is but is still not working, you might need to visit your nearest [Koodo store](https://www.koodomobile.com/find-nearest-store#.) or reach out at [Koodo.com/chat](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help?autobots=rollout) for help.

### Need a replacement SIM card?

If you lost or damaged your old SIM card or need a SIM card of a different size, you can grab one at [your nearest Koodo store](https://www.koodomobile.com/find-nearest-store?INTCMP=KMNew_FooterLINK_Stores_Stores)! Once you’ve got your new SIM card, you’ll need to officially change your SIM card in Self Serve - just follow the numbered instructions in the __‘Updating your SIM card in Self Serve’__ section below!

### Got a new Koodo SIM card with your upgrade? Not sure if you need to replace your old one?

All phones upgraded online come with a SIM card to be used as a spare in case you lose the one you’ve got or it becomes damaged - if this does ever happen, you’ll need to register and change the SIM card in Self Serve before you can use it. 

### Your old SIM fits in your new phone? 

Great! All you have to do is pop your old SIM card into your new phone - your phone number and your plan will both be active on your new phone. (Your text messages are stored on your phone, not on your SIM card, and will not be automatically transferred from your old phone to your new phone. If you’d like to keep them, make sure you’ve backed them up somewhere.)

### Your old SIM card doesn’t fit into your new phone’s SIM card slot? 

No problem! You’ll need to replace your old SIM with one of the three SIM card sizes we’ve included with your order.

Once you’ve determined which size will fit your new phone, simply push out the large white card (Standard), the medium multi-colored card (Micro), or the small white card (Nano) and log into your Self Serve account to update your old SIM card with the new one we sent you. __Before you start this, don’t remove the SIM card that’s already in your old phone, and make sure the phone is on, because we’ll be sending a verification code to your old phone with the old SIM card.__<br><br>

### Updating your SIM card in Self Serve

If you're having trouble receiving text messages or experiencing delays, there could be a few reasons. Check out the troubleshooting tips below to help sort out the issue.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Check coverage and signal strength </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Wireless signal strength can vary based on factors like distance from the nearest cell tower and environmental obstacles. If you're experiencing low signal, try moving to an area with better coverage—just keep in mind that concrete, steel buildings, and underground locations can affect reception, especially in elevators and basements. 
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Make sure that your area is covered by our network </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Check our [coverage maps](https://choosehappy.koodomobile.com/network/) to confirm that you’re covered by our network.

  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Try making and receiving calls </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Sometimes your phone might lose connection to the network. To reconnect, just make a call to any number—even your own to access voicemail. If the call goes through, your connection should be restored, and you’ll get any undelivered texts in the next 5-10 minutes.

You can also use another phone to call your number to check if you can receive calls.

  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Restart your phone </h3>
</div>
<div class="content"> 

Try restarting your phone to clear up any minor glitches.

Turn your phone off, then back on, and try placing a call.

If your phone has a removable battery, take it out, put it back in, and then power up your phone again.
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Check the Blocked Number & Spam settings on your phone </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">   

Sometimes, spam filters or blocked numbers can prevent your phone from getting certain text messages. To check your settings, just follow the steps below:

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

If your phone has a long messaging history, it might run into a few glitches. 

__On Apple phones__, deleting some messages and conversations can help with some issues. 

__On Android phones__, you can also clear the messaging application cache (usually found in __Settings > Apps > select the messaging app > select Clear cache__).

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Deregister your phone number from iMessage </h3>
</div>
<div class="content"> 

If you've switched from an iPhone to a different phone, you might have trouble getting texts from iPhone users, because Apple might still be sending those messages via iMessage. 

To solve this problem, you can deregister your phone number from iMessage. Just follow the instructions on Apple’s [Deregister iMessage page](https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage).
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Troubleshoot issues with picture and video messages </h3>

If text messages work, but picture and video ones are failing, verify that your data is working by opening a web page.
  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> What happens to undelivered text messages </h3>
</div>
<div class="content"> 

The Koodo network will store up to 100 text messages and will try to deliver them for up to 5 days. If the messages aren’t delivered in that period, they’ll be permanently deleted from the network.

Troubleshooting messaging issues

Troubleshoot incoming text message problems

Enhanced 911, or E911, is a service that allows emergency operators to provide better assistance to people calling 911 from their mobile phones.

- Enhanced 911, or E911 Phase 1, is a service that displays your mobile phone number to emergency operators as well as the location of the cellular site carrying your call.
- E911 Phase 2 provides improved location information. E911 calls from mobile phones are subject to the same limitations as regular calls from mobile phones. For example, if you’re underground or too far from a network antenna, your signal quality may be affected and you may not be able to connect to the network.

All Koodo phones are able to support both phases of E911.

Koodo E911 service is currently accessible in most of Alberta, British Columbia, the Greater Winnipeg area of Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, and the Greater Halifax area of Nova Scotia.

### __Paying the 911 government service taxes__
There’s a monthly provincial or municipal tax for 911 service collected by all carriers in select provinces. The amount of the tax is regulated in each province and the funds collected are used to support local 911 emergency operations centres. See the table below for the tax. 

| Province     | Monthly tax for e911 services     |
| ---------- | ---------- |
| Québec       | $0.52       |
| Alberta       | $0.95       |
| Saskatchewan	       | $2.14        |
| New Brunswick       | $0.97       |
| Nova Scotia       | $0.43         |
| Prince Edward Island         | $0.70       |
| Newfoundland       | $0.75       |
| Ontario | No charge
| Northwest Territories    | $1.70       |

A Koodo wireless caller always gets a person when they call 911, regardless of the existence of 911 service. Callers in non-911 areas connect to the provincial police or the local telephone company operator.

__Note:__ Landline callers in a non-911 area get a fast busy or a recording that tells them the call cannot go through but they do not connect with anyone.<br><br>

### __For Prepaid customers__
E911 taxes are built into your billing already if you live in a province that charges these taxes.<br><br>

### __T911__
Text with 911 (T911) is an emergency texting service for Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Speech Impaired (DHHSI) customers. T911 service is not available everywhere. Government agencies are responsible for handling emergency calls, and not all of them can support T911 service. For more information on where T911 is available in Canada, visit [textwith911.ca](https://textwith911.ca "textwith911.ca")  Coverage areas are approximate.

- The agency handling your T911 call may not be able to assist you in both official languages.
- T911 service relies on text messaging sessions initiated by the government emergency response agency receiving your 911 call.
- The availability of text messaging service is not guaranteed and is subject to the Koodo Service Terms.
- You must have an active Koodo account to access T911 service on your Koodo phone. Your Koodo phone must support the T911 service. Each phone on your account must be individually enabled for T911 service, if the user is eligible. Please allow 5 days for registration to become effective.
- Your T911 registration won't apply if you port your number to another service provider. You must re-register.

### __How to register__
It's free to register for this service. Just text T911 to 428911 from your phone and follow the prompts.

Working abroad, going on a long adventure, or flying south for the winter? Our Seasonal Hold Plan could be perfect for you. For $15 per month for customers without a Tab or $30 on top of your monthly Tab charge, for up to twelve months, you can put a hold on your service but keep your account and phone number ready for you when you come home.

## How does the Seasonal Hold plan work?
Once activated, the Seasonal Hold Plan will pause your service. This means you won't have access to calls, texts, or data. Your phone will still be able to connect to Wi-Fi networks and make 911 calls but won’t be able to use your regular Koodo services.

When you begin a Seasonal Hold Plan, you'll no longer pay for your regular rate plan, as it will be removed from your account, and instead you'll be charged $15 per month (no Tab) or $30 (with a Tab) per month. If you have a Tab, you'll continue to pay the Tab charge monthly to reduce the Tab balance. If you have a Tab Bonus, it will also continue going down automatically each month. When you return, you can choose from the available in-market rate plans. 

__Note:__ Your current rate plan might not be available upon your return. <br><br>

## Do I need the Seasonal Hold plan?
The Seasonal Hold Plan is a great way to keep your phone number, if you'll be leaving Canada for more than one month and for fewer than twelve months.

__1. I'll be out of Canada for less than 1 month__

- You won't need a Seasonal Hold Plan, as you’re away for less than one month. Take a look at [Easy Roam](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/easy-roam "Easy Roam")/[Easy Roam](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/services/easyroam) to see some great ways to use your services while you’re away.
- If you don't want to use your phone while you’re away, turn off mobile data and don't make any calls or texts (you'll still be able to connect to Wi-Fi networks).

__2. I'll be out of Canada for more than 1 month__

- You can use the Seasonal Hold Plan. Your service will be paused, and your account and phone number will be waiting for you when you get home.  After 6 months, you’ll need to visit Self Serve and select a new rate plan from available rate plans.

__3. I'll be out of Canada for more than 12 months__

- You will not be eligible for a Seasonal Hold Plan, as it can only be used for a maximum of 6 months.

__Heads up!__ Your account must be in good standing and have been active for more than 90 days to be eligible for Seasonal Hold. <br><br>

## How can I set up a Seasonal Hold plan and resume my services when I return?

You can start the process of putting your phone on hold via Self Serve. On the “Mobile services” page, select __[Pause my plan temporarily](https://www.koodomobile.com/my-account/selector?redirect_url=/my-account/mobile-services&env=ra)__.

__Important:__ If you have a Tab or recently paid it off, you'll be directed to chat with one of our reps, who will help direct you. 

Once you’ve returned home, you can easily get your service back up and running directly via Self Serve. On the "Mobile services" page, select __Resume regular service__, then choose a plan.<br><br>

## Good to know

- Seasonal Hold can be activated __once__ in a 12-month period. __For example:__ If you change to Seasonal Hold on January 1, 2022, you can use it until June 30, 2022 and won't be able to switch back to Seasonal Hold until January 1, 2023.
- If you’re out of the country and want to put your phone on Seasonal Hold, log in to Self Serve, go to Manage service, and select __Pause my plan temporarily__. 
- A seasonal hold won’t be automatically applied to all phones on an account. The charge is $15 per subscriber (no Tab) or $30 (with a Tab) per subscriber.
- If you're thinking about putting your plan on hold for the season, keep in mind that you won't be eligible for bill credits with this option. Also, if you make the switch, any bill credits you have will be dropped in the next two billing cycles.

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

__My services are on seasonal hold, so why is my phone being disconnected and sent to the collection agency?__

On a seasonal hold, you'll still need to pay the full amount that you’re charged for the service, just like you would for a regular rate plan. If you’ve missed payments and you’ve reached the limit of months you can go without paying, we’ll have to cancel your account and send you to collections.

  </div>

*A discontinued plan is a plan that Koodo no longer offers; therefore, we cannot reinstate it. We are unable to guarantee which plans may or may not be discontinued, but, if your plan is discontinued when you come back from a Seasonal Hold, we will guide you through all of the available rate plans and get you set up with a new one. Unfortunately, we are unable to know whether a plan is due to expire at the time you call to set up your seasonal hold. Koodo reserves the right to withdraw/expire plans at any time.

In this article you will learn about roaming charges, how to avoid unexpected roaming charges while traveling or near the US border, and information for traveling across Canada.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> How to avoid roaming charges while traveling or when close to the US border </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__Traveling to the US and internationally__

When you arrive at your destination you will receive a welcome notification explaining the applicable roaming rates if you choose to use your device. This does not mean you are actually being charged for roaming.

If you’re looking to avoid roaming charges altogether, simply __turn data and data roaming OFF__ in your mobile device’s settings and refrain from making calls, answering calls and sending any outgoing texts. Receiving incoming texts will never result in any roaming charges, as long as data and __data roaming is turned OFF__ to avoid using mobile data for any pictures or videos that they may contain.

__Note:__ Other ways to avoid roaming charges include: Putting your phone in airplane mode, Removing the SIM Card or Removing the free international roaming add-ons.

For more information on how to turn data and data roaming on and off in your mobile device’s settings, visit our [support article](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/set-up-and-tips-for-traveling-with-your-mobile-device).<br><br>

__Avoiding roaming charges when close to the US border__

Sometimes if you’re close enough to the US border and the signal from neighbouring US networks is stronger than the Koodo network, your device could automatically connect to a US network as if you are roaming. If this happens, any usage may accidentally be billed as roaming. In addition, you will likely receive a Welcome SMS notification that makes it seem like you are in the US.

__Note:__ Receiving this SMS doesn’t automatically mean you are going to get charged for roaming. We recommend waiting to see if any charges appear on your invoice before reaching out.<br><br>

Here are some tips to avoid accidental roaming charges when close to the US border:

__1. Turn data roaming off in your mobile device’s settings__

Having data roaming off in your mobile device’s settings when close to the US border will help avoid accidental data roaming charges. For instructions on how to manage data roaming in your device’s settings, visit our [support article](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/set-up-and-tips-for-traveling-with-your-mobile-device).

__2. Manually select Koodo as your mobile network operator__

Your device is set to automatically connect to the  Koodo/TELUS network while in Canada. However, to ensure seamless service if you travel to the US this setting will also pick up the applicable US network whenever it's stronger. So if you are constantly connecting to a US network while still in Canada, you can manually select the  Koodo/TELUS network in your device’s mobile network settings to help avoid this.

__Note:__ If you opt for a manual selection of the  Koodo/TELUS network, remember that you will need to switch back to the automatic network selection setting if you ever decide to roam in the US or internationally to ensure your service will work.

## When using iMessage over a Wi-Fi connection

iMessage for iPhones will attempt to send messages to other iPhone users using a data connection. However, if the data connection for your device or the recipient is too weak to send/receive the message over data, then the message will be sent as a normal text message by default. If this happens you will be subject to the applicable roaming charges for sending an outgoing text, depending if you have Easy Roam or are using pay-per-use rates.

To avoid accidentally sending text messages to other iPhone users when using iMessage, follow these steps:

1. Select __Settings__

2. Scroll down and select __Messages__

3. Toggle __Send as SMS__ OFF

Understanding how you'll be charged while travelling

There are important considerations for traveling with your Canada-US rate plan, both in the U.S. and in other destinations. 

In the U.S., most of your roaming will be covered by your Canada-US rate plan, and details on exceptions are available in the article below. 

In other destinations, regular roaming rates will apply and you may want to use Easy Roam International to use your rate plan’s data, texts, and minutes for a single daily fee 

__1. How does calling and texting work with a Canada-US plan?__

__From Canada or the U.S:__ Unlimited calling and texting (including text, picture, and video messaging) is included with Canada-US plans. Calling and texting phone numbers outside Canada or the U.S. will be charged at the standard international long distance pay-per-use rate (if calling from Canada) or the standard U.S. roaming voice pay-per-use rate (if calling from the U.S.). To see the current rates, visit [koodo.com/payperuse](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/payperuse)

If you have an international long distance calling or texting add-on, the rates of your add-on __only apply when making international long-distance calls or texts__ from Canada.

__From destinations other than Canada or the U.S:__ All calling and texting (including text, picture, and video messaging) will be charged as roaming fee. If you do not have [Easy Roam](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/services/easyroam), usage will be charged at standard pay-per-use roaming rates as posted on [koodo.com/payperuse](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/payperuse).

__Note:__ Picture and video messaging will count as a text message and also use data.<br><br>

__2. Do I still need Easy Roam if I have a Canada-US plan?__

__In the U.S:__ No, you won’t need Easy Roam.

__In other international destinations (including Mexico):__ You will need Easy Roam International to use your rate plan’s data, texts, and minutes in any Easy Roam eligible countries outside of the U.S. for a flat daily fee. Without Easy Roam International, roaming usage will be charged at the applicable pay-per-use rate. To see current Easy Roam daily fee or pay-per-use rates, visit [koodo.com/payperuse](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/payperuse)

__Note:__ If you have a Canada-US rate plan and you are in an international destination other than the U.S., calls to the U.S. are not covered by Easy Roam International or by your Canada-US rate plan. They will be charged at the roaming voice pay-per-use rate for the destination you are traveling in.<br><br>

__3. Are there any restrictions or numbers that are not included in the Canada-US plan?__

The following are __not included__ in Canada-U.S. plans when you are roaming and are charged the standard roaming voice pay-per-use rate of the destination you are traveling in as posted on [koodo.com/payperuse](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/payperuse)

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.

Call Control is a free and optional feature that 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.

Learn how to set up physical SIM cards, eSIMs, and eSIM vouchers in Apple and Android phones.

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Learn about SIM cards and eSIMs </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__What’s a SIM card?__

- The Subscriber Identity Module (or SIM, for short) is a way for customers to connect to the Koodo network
- A SIM card can be either a physical SIM card (pSIM) or an embedded SIM (eSIM)
- By using both a physical SIM card and an embedded SIM card (eSIM), you can use __two phone numbers on one smartphone__. 
- Both the phone numbers can make and receive voice calls as well as send and receive text messages (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS). 

__What’s an eSIM?__

- An eSIM is an industry-standard __digital SIM__ that allows you to activate a cellular plan from Koodo without having to use a physical SIM
- Most newer phone models already come with eSIM support. To view the list of eligible models, please see the __“What you’ll need (eligible phone models)”__ table below

__What’s an eSIM voucher?__

An eSIM voucher contains a digital SIM that lets you access a cellular plan without having to insert a physical SIM card. This eSIM voucher also allows you to use up to two phone numbers on select smartphones. To move one of your phone numbers to an eSIM, purchase an eSIM voucher at your nearest [Koodo store](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/find-nearest-store?INTCMP=KMLanguageSelector_en_Selected_052021) and complete a SIM swap using Self Serve. 

__How does dual SIM work?__

If a smartphone has a dual SIM, it means that both a physical SIM card and an electronic SIM card (eSIM) are being used on this one device, each with its own phone number. Both the phone numbers can make and receive voice calls and can send and receive text messages (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS). 

This means you can have up to two phone numbers on one device (for example, you can add a second phone line when travelling internationally).

  </div>

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

__1. Which rate plans are available for eSIM?__

Any in-market Koodo rate plan (prepaid or postpaid) is available on eSIM. <br><br>

__2. Do I need an active physical SIM in my phone to activate an eSIM?__

Most recent models allow activation of an eSIM without a need for a physical SIM; however, some older ones do require having an active physical SIM first before having an option to add an eSIM. For example, Samsung Galaxy Note20 requires a physical SIM to be active before adding an eSIM. <br><br>

__3. How do I know which line I’m using at any given time?__

Each line is individually labeled to differentiate between numbers. These labels can be customised and may vary depending on the operating system and the active carrier. <br><br>

__4. What happens when I receive a call on my secondary line while I’m on a call on my primary line?__

Both lines can be connected to the network at all times. 

- If you’re on a call using one line, the other line will be on standby. 
- If you receive a call on the other line while on a call using the first line, the incoming call will go to voicemail.  <br><br>

__5. If both the lines have mobile data, which one can I use and which one will show on my bill?__

Both lines can access mobile data, but only one line can access mobile data at any given time to prevent duplicate charges. Your usage will reflect the line that you’ve selected to use as the default at any given time. The default line can be changed in your phone’s settings. <br><br>

__6. I currently have two mobile lines at Koodo on two devices. Can I transfer one of my phone numbers to an eSIM so that I can have both the phone numbers on one device?__

To move one of your phone numbers to an eSIM, you’ll have to purchase a voucher at a Koodo store and complete a SIM swap in Self Serve. <br><br>

__7. How will I be billed for calls and text messages?__

Calls and messages are billed according to the wireless plan associated with the line used at any given time. Overage rates may apply if you exceed the amount of voice minutes or messages included in your plan. <br><br>

__8. When travelling, can I use a foreign carrier’s eSIM on my Koodo phone?__

Yes, if available, you can use a foreign carrier’s eSIM plan when traveling to countries outside of Canada, if their network is compatible with your phone. When you return home, you can switch from your foreign carrier's eSIM to your local eSIM. <br><br>

__9. How will I be billed for my eSIM if I roam abroad?__

Roaming rates and services are billed according to your rate plan. For more details on how you’ll be billed when roaming, check out our Pay-per-use [rates](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/payperuse). <br><br>

__10. Can I activate an eSIM from another carrier on my Koodo smartphone?__

Yes, Koodo customers can activate an eSIM from another carrier on their Koodo eSIM-capable phone. The other carrier must support eSIM functionality on the phone. <br><br>

__11. Can I delete my eSIM profile?__

Yes, you can delete your eSIM profile, but please note that deleting your eSIM profile isn't the same as cancelling the line on the network, so you’ll continue to be billed.

To proceed with deleting your profile, go to your phone’s network/cellular settings and locate the line (eSIM profile) you want to delete. <br><br>

__12. If I delete my eSIM profile from one phone, can I scan the eSIM voucher again into another phone?__

No, an eSIM voucher can be used and scanned __only once__. 

__Note:__ Koodo is not responsible for loss of carrier service as a result of an eSIM download wipe performed on any non-Koodo eSIM. If your phone’s eSIM line is currently active through a carrier other than Koodo, you’re responsible for the following:

1. Obtaining and activating a new eSIM card from the carrier
2. Any charges that your carrier may apply for a replacement eSIM card <br><br>

__13. Do I need a Wi-Fi network to activate my eSIM?__

Yes, to activate an eSIM you’ll need a Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

  <h3> What is Extended Network Coverage? </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Extended Network Coverage is designed to give you cell service in certain spots across Canada where there is no Koodo network coverage, by __connecting you to a partner’s network.__ 

If you’re entering an area with Extended Network coverage, your phone will connect to the partner’s network (this typically takes a few seconds) so you can continue to use your data, text, and voice services without additional charges. There are some limitations to the features and services available on the Extended Network. For more info, check out the __Eligibility and limitations__ section below.

When connected to our Extended Network, your device network identifier (typically displayed on the top left or right corner of your screen, not displayed on all devices) will show our partner carrier instead of “Koodo.”

Extended Network Coverage will be provided in the following locations: 
- Highway 14 BC (Sooke to Port Renfrew)

  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Eligibility and limitations of Extended Network Coverage </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

To be eligible for Extended Network Coverage, you must be on a __postpaid Koodo mobility plan__ and may need to have __data roaming enabled__ on your mobile device.

There are certain limitations that will apply when you connect to Extended Network Coverage:

- VoLTE and 5G networks are not accessible at this time. Your phone will connect only to the __LTE network for data__ and to the __3G network for voice.__ 

- You'll notice a change in your voicemail experience:
  - If you have regular voicemail, you’ll need to enter your voicemail passcode when retrieving your messages
  - If you have Visual Voicemail, it’ll continue to work the same as on the Koodo network
- You might not be able to dial and use the following short code numbers:
  - 211: Community Information
  - 311: Non-Emergency Municipal Government
  - 411: Directory Assistance
  - 511: Weather & Traveller Information
  - 711: Access to Message Relay Service (MRS)
  - 811: Non-Urgent Health Teletriage Service
  - Other short code numbers starting with the pound sign (#)
  - Other short code number based on text (e.g. CAA)

- Calling long distance
  - You’ll need to use the following dialing pattern to call long distance: 1+ area code + phone number in order to connect

__Heads up!__ Our Extended Network Coverage is meant for those occasional times when you're in a tight spot. To keep things smooth, keep most of your monthly action (data, texts, and calls) on the Koodo network. If you find yourself mainly on the Extended Network, we might have to tweak your access to it moving forward.

Geographical coverage areas might change at any time without notice. Please note that Koodo is not responsible for any loss suffered as a result of any disruptions or outages to Extended Coverage or as a result of any changes to areas where Extended Coverage is available.

  <h3> Experience when connecting to / disconnecting from an Extended Network Coverage </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__When entering an Extended Network Coverage area:__

Your device will disconnect from the Koodo network and reconnect to our partner’s network, which will typically take a few seconds.

- If you’re on a call, your call will be disconnected and you’ll need to call back. 
- If you’re using data (e.g. browsing the Internet or watching a video), your data session will disconnect. You might have to refresh the webpage you were visiting. 

Your __device network identifier__ (typically displayed on the top left or right corner of your screen, not displayed on all devices) will show our partner carrier instead of “Koodo,” meaning you’re now connected to our Extended Network Coverage. If you’re using an Android device, your device might also display a small “R,” indicating that you’re roaming, but there won’t be any additional fee for you to use this service within Canada.

Some features and services may not be available while on the Extended Network (See the “Extended Network Eligibility” dropdown above).<br><br>

__When exiting an Extended Network Coverage area:__

Your device will automatically reconnect to the Koodo network within a few seconds after you re-enter the Koodo network coverage area. 
- Once a call is established in an Extended Network Coverage area, it will continue without interruption until the call is completed. 
- Once a data session is established (e.g. browsing the Internet or watching a video), your session will stay connected until it's ended (e.g. you close your Internet browser). 

Your device network identifier will return to “Koodo” meaning you’re now back on the Koodo network.

  <h3> Ensure you’re covered with Easy Roam </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__Easy Roam__ covers more than 200 destinations worldwide. For one daily fee, Easy Roam gives you access to data and minutes from your monthly plan plus unlimited text, so you can stay connected whenever you travel.

__How to confirm you’re signed up for Easy Roam?__

To ensure you’re properly covered and able to connect to a network, while abroad, you’ll need to have the following add-ons added to each line you would like to roam with. 

- US Easy Roam

- Easy Roam INTL

- International Voice Roaming

- International Data Roaming

You could look up your add-ons by logging into [Self Serve](http://koo.do/2xrqm43) under the "Manage add-ons" section. 

If you don’t have a Self Serve account, [Koodo Assist](http://koodo.com/chat) can help you set one up.

__Adding Easy Roam is easy!__

If you would like to add Easy Roam, simply text __ROAM__ to __7626__ and follow the steps to enable it. Texting to __7626__ is free in Canada and while roaming, and it won’t activate the Easy Roam daily fee. It may take up to 30 seconds to receive a response from __7626__.

__Tip:__ Each phone number on your account needs to add Easy Roam individually

Visit [koodo.com/easyroam](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/easyroam) for more information about Easy Roam, including the destinations that are covered and key details about how Easy Roam works.

  <h3> Turn data roaming on to use data and picture/video messaging outside of Canada </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Data roaming is typically switched OFF by default in your mobile device’s settings. This setting must be switched on to use data with apps, including instant messaging (e.g. iMessage for iPhone and WhatsApp), browse the web and send or receive picture/video messages. To enable data roaming on your device, follow the device-specific instructions below.

__iOS (Apple) devices:__

1. Select __Settings__

2. Select __Cellular__

3. Select __Cellular Data Options__

4. Toggle __Data Roaming ON__. It will appear green when data roaming is enabled <br><br>

__Android devices:__

1. Select __Settings__

2. Select __Network and Internet__

3. Select __Mobile Network__

4. Toggle ON __Roaming - Connect to data services when roaming__

__Hint:__ Reverse the steps to toggle data roaming OFF

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Monitor your data usage and add a data top-up if you run out </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Self Serve is the best way to monitor your monthly data usage. View your current usage in Self Serve. 

__Data usage notifications:__

You’ll continue to receive the same data usage notifications you’re used to getting at home while traveling with Easy Roam. This includes the amount of your monthly data used and if you’ve incurred any additional data charges from exceeding the data in your monthly plan. You’ll even be given the option to add a data top up when you reach your limit.

__Hint:__ To receive or turn off alerts about your data usage, just check or uncheck the box in your [Data Settings](http://koo.do/2rTznSo).

  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Receive notifications when arriving at your destination </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Welcome notifications sent to the device(s) that are roaming

When you arrive in another country, you will receive a welcome message. This message will confirm one of the following depending on how your mobile device is setup:

- If you have Easy Roam (as long as your destination is included in Easy Roam)

- If you’re not covered and will be subject to pay-per-use rates.

This message is sent as a text message to the user of the device that is roaming in another country. __You will not be charged for receiving this message, and it will not activate the Easy Roam daily fee.__

__Hint:__ To ensure the account owner is aware of any potential roaming charges when any device on the account is roaming in another country, the welcome message will also be sent by email we have on file.

  </div>

<div class="collapsible">
  <h3> Know when roaming charges start to apply </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

If you leave Canada while data and data roaming is switched on in your mobile device’s settings, then roaming charges will most likely apply. This is because most devices regularly consume data through apps that run in the background and features used by apps, like location services. You have the option to switch __data__ and __data roaming__ off in your mobile device’s settings before traveling if you prefer to avoid roaming charges. If you’re just looking to make calls and send texts, this is a great way to avoid unexpected data charges.

To learn more about managing your device’s data roaming settings, see the section above about turning on data roaming.

If Easy Roam is enabled on your mobile device:

- The daily fee will automatically activate if you use data, send a text, make or receive a call in the US or one of the 200+ International destinations that are covered.

- Once activated, you get access to your monthly rate plan until 11:59 pm in the time-zone you are traveling on the day you first use data, send a text and make or receive a call.

- If you don’t want to use Easy Roam the next day, then you must turn __data__ and __data roaming__ off in your mobile device’s settings before 11:59 pm in the time-zone you are traveling.. This will ensure you won’t be accidentally charged for another day. Since incoming texts won’t activate Easy Roam, just refrain from making or answering calls and sending texts to avoid activating Easy Roam again.

__An important tip about iMessage and instant messaging apps:__

iMessage on iPhone (e.g. when you receive blue messages from other iPhone users) and other instant messaging apps (e.g. WhatsApp) use data, and not text messages. If you continue to use iMessage or instant messaging without enough data in your monthly rate plan for Easy Roam then additional data charges will apply.<br><br>

__Getting around with GPS__

Although GPS itself doesn’t require data to locate you (blue dot), loading the map with all the street names, directions, and businesses does. To get around in a country you’re traveling in without triggering Easy Roam, make sure to download the map of the area you’re visiting offline.

__To download offline maps:__

1. Open the Google Maps app Maps.

2. At the bottom, tap Settings Settings and then Offline maps.

3. Tap Select your own map Select your own map.

  <h3> What to expect when you return home </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Once you return to Canada, you will receive a welcome back SMS notification to confirm you are no longer roaming. At this time you may be wondering how much you’ve spent on roaming and what exactly will show up on your bill. At this time it is not possible to confirm your final roaming charges until you receive this summary in your applicable monthly bill. If your trip spanned more than one bill cycle, then the applicable roaming charges will appear on all bills covering the period when you were traveling and using your device.

For more information on what to expect on your bill, visit the support article: [Understanding roaming charges on your bill](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/understanding-how-youll-be-charged-while-travelling).

If you were traveling with Easy Roam, you don't need to remove it from your account. You will only be charged when you use your device while roaming, so you can keep it on your account for your next trip.

  <h3> Traveling to a destination not covered by Easy Roam </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

If Easy Roam does not cover the destination you are traveling to, then you will be billed at our pay-per-use rates.

__Note:__ Without Easy Roam, pay-per-use charges can add up quickly. You should turn data and data roaming OFF in your device settings to avoid surprise charges.

You can confirm the applicable pay-per-use rates by searching your travel destination at [koodo.com/payperuse](https://www.koodomobile.com/payperuse) and referring to the information near the bottom of the page.

  <h3> Using Airplane/Flight Mode </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__How it works__

Airplane Mode or Flight Mode is a setting that temporarily suspends cellular signals and Wi-Fi, which might interfere with various sensors and equipment on board commercial aircrafts. 

Since cellular signals are suspended, Airplane Mode is the best option to use if you don’t want to incur roaming charges while in a foreign destination. 

When you’re using Airplane Mode, WiFi and/or Bluetooth can be enabled. If either feature is enabled, __it will remain on the next time Airplane Mode is used.__<br><br>

__Features that are supported while on Airplane Mode__

All device features that don’t require cellular signals or Wi-Fi are supported while on Airplane Mode. These include, but are not limited to access to your:

- Previously-downloaded emails, books/music, etc. 

Commonly-used features which are __not supported__ while on Airplane Mode include, but are not limited:

- Making/answering phone calls or sending text messages
- Utilizing data-based applications (i.e. Web Browsing, Koodo Self Serve, FaceTime, etc.)

If Wi-Fi is enabled while using Airplane Mode, it’s still possible to use data-based applications through your Wi-Fi connection.

If you’re using dual-SIMs and activate Airplane Mode, this will suspend cellular signals for __all SIM cards__ activated on your device.<br><br>
