Prepaid Help Needed

Hi guys, I need a bit of help with a mistake I made.

I used to live in Canada briefly, I moved back home to Ireland and recently took a trip back to Canada to visit some friends. I got a prepaid sim from Koodo and I stupidly didn't follow instructions and I didn't cancel the auto renew while I was still in Canada. I can't get into the account and every time I try reset the password, I get an error code to say I've made some sort of mistake whilst curating said password.

(From reading a few threads, I believe this is already a known issue. I've tried turning off my WiFi and using cellular, clearing cache, incognito mode and nothing worked)

Problem is, I'm back in Ireland now so I can't call the help line and their AI bot sucks. I've gotten another charge on my card for a second month. I need to nip this in the bud now so I don't get charged for a third month.

Anyone know how I can cancel my account? All advice is appreciated!!

Preparing for my possible eventual move from Virgin prepaid to Koodo prepaid. I have questions about Koodo.

VirginMobile is cancelling prepaid service in Jan 2027. I'm on a yearly plan prepaid and that's what I'm looking for. I've searched around and Koodo prepaid $100/365 days is the cheapest option I could find (Freedom and SpeakOut are not available to me).

  1. How is Koodo cell service in Quebec (not concerned about data, I don't use data)?
  2. How is Koodo customer service? It seems like it's nearly impossible to get a hold of them. For some reason, customer me service online chat does not load for me.
  3. Do unused talk and text carry over or rollover to the renewed plan?
  4. How do I port a number safely without losing my number?
  5. Is there any hidden fee I should be aware of as a new customer, other than buying a Koodo SIM card (sad that my phone doesn't support eSIM)? Ex: activation fee? porting fee? Other weird fees?
  6. Is Black Friday the best time to look for the best deals?
  7. Is there a better option for me put there without other providers? I'm looking for a yearly prepaid plan.

Is there no way to contact a real human at kodoo on the phone now?

This dishonest scumbag of a company price hiked me $10 a few months ago I called and they told me they would reduce it to $32 as a part of their loyalty incentive, they did that only for one month, and then every month since they've added a couple more dollars on to the bill, and I'm at the point now where I just want to switch out, I can't even talk to a real human because it's now on chat only?

I'm paying for my number just to get verification codes online... What are alternative companies and how exactly do I get a hold of these deceptive lying turds?

Switched plans today. Would my billing date change if I signed up for pre-authorized payments?

I switched to a CAN/US/MEX plan this afternoon. My billing cycle normally begins on the 1st, and I receive a bill on the 4th typically. I'd like to take advantage of the $10 discount but am not sure if switching mid cycle affects billing.

Koodo phone retail prices are higher than MSRP

According to Koodo, the Z Flip 8 retails for $1875; Samsung, Best Buy, etc have it for $1550. For the Pixel 11 they charge $1465; Google sells it for $1250. It looks like Telus does the same, unsurprisingly. I assume they share a price structure.

Am I missing something, or is it effectively a scam (ignoring discounts) to buy through Koodo?

Has anyone seen winback rate increase in few months after moving back to Koodo?

Moved with Freedom and getting a winback now at $10 lower than Freedom. Freedom has price freeze, Koodo doesn’t. Winback agent said that Koodo doesn’t have price freeze but usually winbacks doesn’t see any price increase. Opinions?

TELUS and Koodo are giving wildfire evacuees 50GB of free data and bill credits in British Columbia

TELUS has announced a $2 million emergency response package as wildfires continue to affect communities across British Columbia, combining network support, customer credits and direct funding for local organizations.

For evacuated TELUS and Koodo postpaid mobile customers, the most immediate benefit is an automatic 50GB of additional wireless data at no charge. TELUS says affected customers do not need to request the data separately.

TELUS is also crediting Internet, TV, home phone and SmartHome Security bills for evacuated households. Customers facing a longer evacuation or displacement will continue to have their home-service billing paused.

The carrier says technicians are working around the clock to keep cell sites operating, including bringing generators into areas without commercial power and deploying mobile connectivity where fixed infrastructure has been damaged. TELUS is also distributing emergency kits, phones, power banks and charging cables at evacuation centres.

Of the broader $2 million commitment, TELUS and the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation say $100,000 is being directed to affected First Nations and local charities, including the Okanagan Indian Band, Westbank First Nation, food banks and the Salvation Army BC. Evacuated customers can also call TELUS' dedicated assistance line at 1-855-889-7233.

The aid comes as British Columbia remains under severe wildfire pressure, with large-scale evacuations in the Okanagan and a provincial state of emergency declared earlier this week.

Phones for $0

Do we think they'll have better deals sometime in the future where you can use your current plan and get a new phone for $0 upfront and $0/month for 24 months?

These are my favourite kind of deals but I haven't seen em for 2 years!

Moving from Rogers postpaid to Koodo prepaid with an eSIM—how to port without losing my number?

Hey everyone, I’m a newcomer to Canada and currently on a Rogers postpaid plan using an eSIM (account balance shows $55.22 due August 18, number starts with 587).

I want to switch over to Koodo prepaid while keeping my exact phone number. Since I'm using an eSIM, I want to make sure I do this in the correct order so I don't accidentally lose my number or trigger weird cancellation issues.

Could anyone outline the exact steps for porting an eSIM-based number in Canada?
Do I set up the new Koodo prepaid eSIM first with a temporary number before requesting the port?
Do I need to keep my Rogers eSIM active until the text confirmation ("YES") comes through?
At what point does the Rogers account automatically close?

A couple of extra questions:

  1. If I port out on August 12 (before my August 18 due date), will they still bill me that $55.22 plus extra? Roughly how much should I expect my final Rogers bill to be for using it from July 27 until August 12?
  2. As a newcomer signing up for Koodo prepaid, roughly how much does it typically cost upfront to get set up with them?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!
