__Before you start__

1. __Don’t cancel your number__ with your previous provider just yet and __keep the SIM card__ that’s already there (or if you use an eSIM, keep your old eSIM activated. See detailed instructions in the “eSIM instructions” dropdown below). The number with your previous provider automatically cancels when the transfer has completed, which can take up to 2.5 hours.

2. Make sure you’ve registered for Koodo Self Serve. If you haven’t, [register](http://koodo.com/register) now.  

3. Have your previous provider’s service details at your fingertips:

  - We’ll need this info exactly as it appears on the bill:  the Account Number located on your bill with the previous service provider 

     __OR__

  - The IMEI number  of the previous  provider’s phone -  just dial __* #06#__ on the device to reveal this number. 

__Once you’ve received your order__ and have all of the above, login at  [koodo.com/changenumber](https://www.koodomobile.com/my-account/tab/select?redirect_url=/my-account/plans/phone-number&env=ra) and select ‘Transfer your number from another provider’ and follow these 5 easy steps: 

  __Step 1:__ Enter the number you’re transferring over

  __Step 2:__ Enter the required info in ‘Service details’: full name, account number __OR__ the IMEI number

  __Step 3:__ Review your stuff and hit submit

  __Step 4:__ Your previous provider will send you an SMS for you to approve the transfer.  Check ‘I understand’ to start the transfer.  Then reply __YES__ to the SMS on the phone that has your previous provider’s SIM (or eSIM), asking you to confirm the transfer. 

  __Step 5:__ Once you’ve replied YES, the transfer is now in progress and can take up to 2.5 hours to finish. You’re almost done!

__After you replied YES to the SMS__

- __If you’re bringing your own phone:__ you can now remove the previous provider’s SIM card and insert the new Koodo SIM card (or if you use an eSIM, deactivate the previous provider’s eSIM and activate the new Koodo eSIM). Once the transfer is done, verify the data settings here to ensure your data is working 

- __If you ordered a Koodo phone__, just insert the Koodo SIM card (or activate the new Koodo eSIM)

__You’ll know the transfer is done when__ you receive a welcome SMS from Koodo, asking you to restart the phone so that everything is in perfect working order.

Therefore, do not delete your old eSIM.

Here’s how you can make sure the old service provider’s eSIM is still active so that you will receive the security verification text message:

__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). 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.

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 3G/HSPA NETWORK SHUT DOWN  </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

__Which Koodo Prepaid services will be affected?__

Today, customers are able to enjoy the combined coverage area of AT&T and T-mobile 3G/HSPA networks when roaming in the U.S. 

Following the AT&T 3G/HSPA network shutdown on February 22, 2022, when roaming in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands), some customers with U.S. roaming add-ons traveling to the United States may be impacted by differences in coverage for the following: 

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

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 
- the ability to set up voicemail while in the U.S. 

Service quality might also be impacted, including service for 9-1-1 calls. 

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

Absolutely. The US 3G/HSPA network shutdowns will not impact your Koodo Prepaid service in Canada. 

__Can I use Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) roaming calling in the U.S.?__

Yes, you can! For more info, check out our [VoLTE (voice over LTE) for Koodo Prepaid](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/volte-koodo-prepaid) help page. 

__If I purchase or use a new Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE)-capable device with my Koodo Prepaid service, will I be able to use VoLTE in the U.S.?__

VoLTE is not yet enabled for Koodo Prepaid. In the future, once VoLTE capability is launched on the Koodo Prepaid network, a VoLTE-capable device will be required to roam in the US.

### 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://choosehappy.koodomobile.com/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.

Travel and roaming

Long distance, travel and roaming on Prepaid

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 VoLTE on my phone?  </h3>
</div>
<div class="content">

Once your profile has been enabled with VoLTE, the following is required to enable VoLTE on your phone: 

1. a VoLTE-certified phone with 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)*

2. a phone restart 

## How do I use VoLTE once it’s activated?

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

1. Use a VoLTE-compatible phone (most phones sold by Koodo after 2018 are VoLTE-capable within Canada and the US) that is up-to-date with the latest software. 

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

  For a list of devices that __support VoLTE__, please see the tables below. 

  For a list of phones that __don’t support VoLTE roaming__, please see the “Which phones don’t support VoLTE roaming?” section below. 

2. Be in a VoLTE-enabled coverage area. (See our full coverage [list](https://choosehappy.koodomobile.com/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.

## 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__.

## 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. 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.

__5. Will my phone work on the Koodo/TELUS VoLTE network?__

All new phones sold by Koodo/TELUS in 2018 or later, and most sold in Canada, will work on the TELUS VoLTE network. If you’re not sure how old your phone is or didn’t purchase your device from Koodo/Telus, you can verify using the list below.

Depending on the phone model, you’ll have to check the model number or the IMEI to verify whether your device is compatible with TELUS’ VoLTE network.

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

### Getting a Prepaid SIM card

To activate your Koodo Prepaid phone, you'll need a Koodo Prepaid SIM Card. Order one today through TELUS.com, or get one at [your nearest store](https://www.koodomobile.com/find-nearest-store "your nearest store").

If you have a Prepaid SIM you wish to activate, you’ll need to go to our Prepaid site to see how. Activate [here](https://activateprepaid.koodomobile.com/).

### Getting another phone on Prepaid
You can buy a new phone and use the same Koodo Prepaid SIM card. No need to activate your new phone!

### Deactivating your SIM card
To deactivate your SIM card, simply stop topping up your account. Once you've been without an active base plan on your account for a full 90 days, your Koodo Prepaid SIM card will be automatically deactivated and you'll lose your phone number and any funds remaining on your account balance, including your Boosters. Once deactivated, you'll need to buy a new Koodo Prepaid SIM card to resume your service.

### Unlocking your Prepaid phone
[Contact Us](https://www.koodomobile.com/contact-us?INTCMP=KMNew_FooterLINK_ContactUs_ContactUs "Contact Us") if you want to unlock your prepaid phone. We don't unlock phones from other carriers, so make sure your phone is unlocked before bringing it to Koodo.

### Swapping your Koodo SIM
If you want to swap your SIM card, you’ll need to do so through your __Koodo Prepaid Self Serve account__ by following the instructions below. This will be a two-factor authentication (2FA) process and will require either the phone number or the email address associated with your Prepaid Self Serve account. 

1. Log in to your [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com/) account
2. Select the __Phone Services__ tab 
3. Select the __Change SIM Card__ tab

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

__1 - Is it possible to transfer my Koodo Prepaid funds to a Postpaid customer?__

No, funds can’t be transferred. Your Prepaid funds simply disappear once your account falls into deactivation.

__2 - I pay for two phones - one has more data than I use, the other has no data. Can I share my data?__

No, data can’t be transferred.

__3 - I bought a new phone, and it came with a new SIM card. Do I use my old SIM or this new one?__

You can pop your old SIM card in, or register the new one, or give the new SIM to someone else.

__4 - Can I activate a Prepaid card if I don’t have an email address or internet access?__

In this case, the best option would be to go to a Koodo store and have a rep activate the card for you.

Prepaid SIM cards

Here's what you need to activate your Prepaid phone: 

1. Your [Koodo Prepaid SIM card](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/prepaid-sim-cards). Unless you bought one separately, you’ll find it in the packaging with your Koodo Prepaid phone.

2. Your selected __base plan and Booster® add-on(s)__. You can choose from a number of base plans and Talk or Data Booster add-ons on our [Prepaid plans page](https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-plans "Prepaid plans page").

3. Your __payment method__. You can use a top-up voucher purchased at a Koodo store or retail partner across Canada, or use your credit or Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit card. If you’re paying with a top-up voucher, you’ll need to make sure it has enough funds to cover the total cost of your selected base plan and Booster add-on(s).

  __Note:__ Only a card registered to a Canadian address can be registered to your account. International cards aren't accepted.

4. __Automatic top-ups__. With automatic top-ups, leave it to us to top-up your account every 30 days with your registered credit or Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit card, just in time for your base plan renewal. Sign up today in [Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com/).

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

__1 - How can I start receiving calls on my new phone after upgrading? They’re still going to my old phone even after I’ve completed the setup.__

Please make sure that you’ve ported your number over to Koodo. This can be done with some help from a rep. To get started, please go to [Prepaid Koodo Assist](https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/koodoprepaid/koodoprepaid.html) and schedule a callback.

__2 - Can I activate a new Prepaid phone with a SIM and keep the same number?__ 

Yes! You might have to go through the number porting or number transferring procedure, but if it’s the same SIM, the number should be kept the same.

__3 - Why is my phone still deactivated after I topped up my account?__

Sometimes it takes a few days to move your phone out of a deactivated state. Please also ensure that the amount you’ve topped up is enough to cover the base plan associated with your account. 

__4 - I followed the activation process, but my card is still inactive. Is there a delay between payment and activation?__

There can be a short delay, but in general the card should be activated right away. Please always confirm that you’ve received a confirmation “Welcome” email after activation. If you haven’t, please [contact us](https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help).

### What is a Booster?
Whenever you need long distance minutes, data, or anytime minutes, you can buy a [Talk or Data Booster](https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-plans) add-on by logging in to Prepaid Self Serve.

__Here’s how:__

1. Log in to your [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com) account
2. Select the __Base Plan & Booster Add-ons__ tab
3. Beside "Base Plan Minutes, Data & Booster Add-on(s)," 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're ready to submit your order, select __Purchase Booster Add-on(s).__

Booster add-ons don’t expire. Any unused minutes or data will be carried over when you renew your base plan.*<br><br>

### Good to know
- You'll need to top-up your account balance if you don't have enough service credits to purchase your selected Boosters.
- You can always add another Booster when you're running low on your current one to make sure you’ll have uninterrupted service.
- Booster prices can be found in the ‘Base Plan & Booster Add-ons’ section

### Tracking your Booster usage
You can always see how many minutes or megabytes you have remaining in your Booster by logging into Prepaid Self Serve. Plus, when you're running low, we'll let you know by sending you a text message.

### Expiring Boosters and overage charges
Never be without your Boosters! You’ll know you’re getting low on your Boosters because we’ll text you when your Talk Booster has both 10 minutes and 0 minutes left. For the Data Booster, you’ll get a text message when you’ve used up 75% and then again at 95% usage. If you think you’ll need another Booster, go ahead and add it. As long as you have an active Base Plan on your account, your Boosters never expire, so you can use them as needed.

If your Booster runs out, you’ll have to grab another one in order to use it. You’ll never have overage charges because once your Booster runs out, that’s it. No surprises.

### Remaining minutes or data on your Booster
Make sure you have an active base plan on your account. You'll need a non-expired base plan to be able to access your prepaid services, including your Boosters.

### Using Boosters with base plans that include data
You have 30 days to use up your base plan data. Unlike our Booster add-ons, any remaining data will not be carried forward when your base plan renews every 30 days.

### How does in-plan data work with a Canada-wide data Booster add-on?
If you have both base plan data and a data Booster add-on, your base plan data will be depleted fully before Booster add-on data.

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

__1	- Why do I lose talk minutes even when I don't initiate a call?__

Talk minutes apply whenever you’re on a call, not if you initiate the call. The only time initiating a call matters is when you’re dealing with a long-distance call. If someone from outside the province calls you, you won’t be charged a long-distance fee, but if you call someone outside of the province, a long-distance fee would be applied to your bill.

__2 - What is a "Base Plan" if this is Prepaid?__

- __Base plan:__ A base plan is what keeps your account active. The base plan you choose will automatically renew every 30 days. 
- __Booster:__ A booster is an add-on that complements your base plan and does not expire. 

  __Example:__ If you need long distance minutes, anytime minutes, or data, you can add a Talk Booster or a Data Booster. Let’s say you don't have Canada-wide calling included in your plan and you need to call another province within Canada -- you can do so with a Canada-wide Talk Booster add-on.

__3 - Does the long-distance U.S. talk booster ($30 for 300 minutes) include incoming calls?__

If you’re in the U.S., it includes the incoming calls. If you’re in Canada, any __RECEIVING__ calls are your regular minutes. 

__4 - How can I add a card or add funds to my account?__

You’ll need to register for Prepaid Self Serve. A Debit card/chequing account might not be able to add funds, in which case you’ll need to purchase vouchers to add funds. Once you’re in your [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com/) account, there will be an option to add funds.

__5 - How can I remove my booster?__

A booster can’t be removed. It’ll be rolled over until it's completely used up.
  </div>

---

*Talk or Data Booster add-ons don’t expire if your account is active. Talk or Data Booster add-ons are available for use only when there's a non-expired base plan on the account. Booster add-ons will be removed from the account upon account deactivation. Anytime minutes are charged by the minute and the airtime required to connect your calls is drawn from the included minutes. All data usage will be rounded up to the nearest 10 KB. Data Booster add-ons aren’t available with BlackBerry smartphones that are not on the BlackBerry 10 operating system.


Need more minutes, texts, data? There's a booster for that! Find out everything about Koodo prepaid boosters here.

### How To Top Up Your Account
You can top up your account by logging in to your [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com "Prepaid Self Serve") account. Choose from three top-up options:

__1. Credit or Debit card:__ Register a credit or Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit card on [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com "Prepaid Self Serve"). You can also register for automatic 30-day top-ups. It’s a hassle-free way of making sure you have service each month.<br>
__2. Top-Up Voucher:__ Koodo Prepaid top-up vouchers are available in [stores across Canada](https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-vouchers "stores across Canada").<br>
__3. Instant Top-Up:__ Tell the cashier how much you want to top-up ($10 - $100) and your phone number to have it instantly added to your account. Available at [select locations across Canada](https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-vouchers "select locations across Canada").

### Where To Buy Top-Ups
Koodo prepaid top-up vouchers and Instant Top-Ups are available in stores across Canada. Check your nearest Koodo Shop, Esso, Canadian Tire Petroleum, Gateway Newstand, Pioneer Petroleum, and Super Sagamie locations. Go [here for a full list](https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-vouchers "here for a full list"). 

### Do Top-Ups Expire? 
We try to keep things simple. Tracking too many dates is a major hassle. That's why Koodo top-ups don't expire.

### Just So You Know
If you don't have a base plan for 90 days, your account will be deactivated and you’ll lose your phone number and any funds remaining on your account balance, including your boosters.

### Why Top Up Your Account?
When you top-up your account, service credits from that top-up are transferred to your account balance. Those service credits are used to purchase your selected base plan and boosters. They also apply to customer support charges for transactions performed through our call centre. By regularly topping up your account, you'll ensure you have enough service credits to renew your base plan and have uninterrupted service.

Remember, you can always check the amount of service credits on your account at anytime by logging into [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com "Prepaid Self Serve").

### Automatic 30-Day Top-Ups
With automatic 30-day top-ups, you can leave it to us to automatically top up your account using your registered credit or Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit card just in time for your base plan renewal.

To get started, log in to your [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com "Prepaid Self Serve") account and register your credit or Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit card. Once that's done, you can register for automatic top-ups right away while you're in your account.

You can register for automatic 30-day top-ups when you activate your Koodo Prepaid service online. Or, if you’ve already activated your service, simply register your credit or Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit card in your Prepaid Self Serve account. Once that's done, register for automatic top-ups right away while you're in Self Serve.

You can disable automatic top-ups through the __Billing__ page in your Prepaid Self Serve account.

### How 30-Day Automatic Top-Ups Work
With automatic top-ups, we’ll renew your account every month by charging you the base plan amount. Any credits you have on your account will be adjusted before your credit or Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit card gets billed. If you decide to change your base plan, we’ll automatically adjust the top-up amount that’s needed. 

### Just So You Know
Only a credit or Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit card with a Canadian/U.S. address can be registered to your account. International credit/Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit cards are not accepted.

As of January 9, 2020, the 10% monthly automatic top-up bonus credit will no longer be offered to new customers signing up for auto top-ups. If you're currently registered to get the bonus credit, don't worry - it will stay on your account. If you turn off automatic top-ups and decide to turn it back on again, the bonus credit will no longer work.<br><br>

### FAQ

__Can I top-up someone else's mobile phone with a gift top-up?__

Yes, you can always buy someone else a voucher! That’s the only way to top up someone else's account, unless you have access to their Self Serve account.

Self Serve

Lost or stolen Prepaid phone

To use Koodo Prepaid, including any Boosters on your account, you'll need to buy a Prepaid base plan first.

When it comes to Koodo Prepaid base plans, there are no pay-per-use charges. You'll have unlimited access to your included features for 30 days, and you get exactly what you paid for. No surprises.

### 3G Prepaid base Plans
3G Prepaid base plans can expect up to 3 Mbps of download speed.

3G speed is good for email, Google searches, and viewing standard-definition videos. Streaming and watching HD videos (ie. YouTube, Netflix) will be slower and have lower resolution. Your social media experience may be impacted with reduced picture and video quality, because some platforms, like Facebook, may detect your connection speed and tailor your experience based on that.

### 4G Prepaid Base Plans
4G Prepaid base plans can expect up to 100 Mbps of download speed. 

4G speed allows you to enjoy seamless HD video streaming, video calling, and gaming without pausing or buffering concerns. You’ll also have a richer social media experience with greater access to content and embedded videos.

### Changing your base plan
You can change your Prepaid base plan any time in [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com "Prepaid Self Serve").

If you're changing your base plan while there’s an active Prepaid base plan already on the account, remember that the change is applied immediately. We're not able to refund you for the remaining days in your current Prepaid base plan.

Make sure you have enough service credits on your account to cover the cost of your newly selected Prepaid base plan, otherwise your service will be suspended. If you're changing your Prepaid base plan in Self Serve while your service is suspended due to an expired Prepaid base plan, change the Prepaid base plan first, and then top-up as a second step.

### Renewing your Prepaid base plan
You can view your Prepaid base plan renewal date by logging in to [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com "Prepaid Self Serve").

If you don’t renew your Prepaid base plan when it expires, your prepaid service will be suspended until you top-up and purchase a Prepaid base plan again.

Your Prepaid base plan will automatically renew every 30 days, as long as there are sufficient service credits on your Koodo Prepaid account balance before the time of renewal.

### Not enough credits?
If you didn't have enough service credits at the time of renewal and your Prepaid base plan expired, you can resume your Koodo Prepaid service by simply topping up your account. As soon as enough credits are added to cover the cost of your Prepaid base plan, it will automatically renew.

To make sure you have enough credits at the time of your Prepaid base plan renewal, register for automatic 30-day top-ups – it makes Koodo Prepaid truly worry-free.

### Automatic top-ups
With automatic top-ups on your account, a 10% savings on the cost of your Prepaid base plan will be credited back to your account each time your Prepaid base plan renews. The credit is a negative amount applied on your account that can be used towards future top-ups or Boosters. Set up automatic 30-day top-ups when you activate your Koodo Prepaid service, or by logging into Prepaid Self Serve.

### Making calls on the Unlimited Messaging Prepaid base plan
Exclusively at Koodo, the Unlimited Messaging Prepaid base plan gives you unlimited text and picture messaging 24/7 for 30 days. There are no pay-per-use charges. With this plan, you can't make or receive calls on your phone.

If you want to make or receive calls, add a Talk Booster, starting from $5 (and it doesn’t expire!). If you don’t use all of your minutes, they’ll carry over the next time you renew your Prepaid base plan.

### Expired Prepaid base plans
If you just bought a Prepaid base plan and saw a message in Self Serve that your Prepaid base plan expired, that means you didn’t have enough funds on your account balance to activate the Prepaid base plan. Once you top-up your account to cover the cost of your selected Prepaid base plan, your service status will change to "Active" and you'll be able to access your services.

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

If you travel to another province, you can make Province-wide calls while you’re there. You’ll still receive unlimited incoming calls. But you won’t be able to call your home province while travelling and will need to get a Booster add-on.

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

__1. Making calls__
- Unlimited outgoing calls to any phone number in B.C.

__2. Receiving calls__
- Unlimited incoming calls from any province in Canada and from any country

And you travelled to Quebec:

__1. Making calls__
- Unlimited outgoing calls to any phone number in Quebec.
- You won't be able to make outgoing calls to any other province, including B.C.

__2. Receiving calls__
- Unlimited incoming calls from any province in Canada and from any country

### Making calls to destinations outside of your home province
You'll need a Canada-wide Talk Booster add-on to make any calls outside of your home province or to any U.S or international destinations. Plus, our Booster Add-ons don’t expire after 30 days, as long as you have an active Prepaid base plan. Booster add-ons can be purchased any time by logging into your Self Serve account.

### Good to know
Booster add-ons are available with province-wide plans.

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

__1. What is the minimum cost of a Prepaid base plan and how many minutes does it include? Is it you pay as you go?__

Our lowest costing plan is $15 with 100 mins of CW calling and UNL international texting (no data). You prepay the $15 every month, and if you don’t want to use it for the following months you simply don’t top up your account, then your account eventually falls into suspension. 

__2. Where can I find the data boost?__

You can go into your [Prepaid Self Serve](https://prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com/) account and find “Base plan and boosters,” or go to our [Prepaid plans](https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-plans?INTCMP=KMNew_NavMenu_Shop_PrepaidPlans) page and view the “Booster add-ons” tab.

__3. What are the costs for Prepaid services and data?__

The Prepaid base plan/booster plan you choose to purchase will be all the costs for Prepaid services and data.

__4. What is the maximum length of time I can not pay before my account expires?__

If you don’t top up for 3 months, we deactivate your account and you lose your phone number. When you do top up, you get service again.

__5. What’s the difference between 3G and 4G speeds at TELUS and Koodo? How does the experience change?__

3G speed supports more basic functionality, like checking your emails, surfing the internet, and streaming standard-definition video. Your social media experience may be impacted with reduced picture and video quality, because some platforms, like Facebook, may detect your connection speed and tailor your experience based on that. With 4G speed, you’ll enjoy seamless HD video streaming, video calling, and gaming without pausing or buffering concerns. You’ll also have a richer social media experience with greater access to content and embedded videos. 

__6. Can I pay to have faster 4G speed on Koodo?__

Not at this time. For customers interested in higher data speeds, we encourage them to explore the TELUS 5G plans. TELUS offers 5G speeds of up to 250 Mbps and 1 Gbps, depending on the plan you choose. 

__7. I’m a current Koodo Prepaid customer looking to move from a 4G LTE plan to a 4G speed plan. Will I notice a change in my experience?__

No, it’s unlikely that you’ll notice any change to your experience. At speeds up to 100 Mbps, you’ll still enjoy seamless HD video streaming, video calling, and gaming without pausing or buffering concerns. It’s important to know that 100 Mbps is still fast! 

__8. Do I still have access to the 4G LTE network?__

Yes! You’ll still have access to Canada’s largest 4G LTE coast-to-coast network.

__9. I’m moving from a 4G speed or 4G LTE speed plan to a 3G speed plan. Will I notice a change in my experience?__

You might notice a change going from 4G speed (seamless HD video streaming, video calling, and gaming without pausing or buffering concerns, plus a richer social media experience with greater access to content and embedded videos) to 3G speed, which is better suited to basic functions (checking your emails, surfing the internet, and streaming standard-definition video). 

Moving to 3G speeds, your social media experience may be impacted with reduced picture and video quality, because some platforms, like Facebook, may detect your connection speed and tailor your experience based on that. 

__10. I purchased a 3G speed plan, but my phone is showing 4G/LTE. Does this mean I have 4G speed?__

No. Your phone shows the network you’re accessing, which can be the 4G LTE network, but you’re still experiencing 3G speed. 

__11. Can a customer with a CAN-US calling rate plan make calls in the US without additional charges?__

No, CAN-US rate plans only include calls to the US. Customers will need to purchase a roaming package or pay-per-use to make calls and access cellular data within the US.

To help you keep track of your usage, we'll send you reminders each time you use a 10% increment of your data. You can opt out of these messages at any time.

## How does ‘60 days free’ work?

By activating a 360-day plan, you automatically save by getting a discount off of the 30-day plan by two months - no action necessary! 

__For example:__ 

If you break down the price of a 360-day plan and the usage, it's the 30-day plan x 12 months, and that's how much data you're getting (with automatic top-ups). 

When you pay for a year upfront by getting a 360-day plan, the price is broken down into the 30 day plan x 10 months. We'll give you a discount of 2 months (60 days free!)

## Will Boosters still work?

Yes, boosters will continue to work the same as on a 30-day plan. Please note that when activating a data booster, your in-plan bucketed amount will be used before your booster data is used.

__Reminder:__ Booster data will be carried over until you run out or lose your account status.

## How do I go from a 30-day Prepaid plan to a 360-day plan?

You can log into your Prepaid Self Serve account and go to the "Change Base Plan" option. 

Please note that you can only pay for this plan yearly, not monthly. 

## If I want to switch plans, can I get a refund for any unused months?

For 360-day plans, there are no refunds for any unused months or leftover data. If you want to switch to a plan before your 360 days are used, you won’t receive any credit or get money back.

Prepaid 101 - Applying a promo when changing your plan

From time to time, we offer special promos for select customers to redeem discounts, credits, bonus add-ons (and so much more!) on their Koodo Prepaid service. These promos are redeemed using Promo Codes or they may also be Auto-load Promos (which are automatically applied offers on your base plan). Below are a few things you need to know when redeeming a promo and where you can find step-by-step instructions to apply it. 

### Just so you know:
- There can only be one promo associated with an account at a given time.
- __Changing your Base Plan__: If you have an existing promo on your account that extends over multiple months (e.g. $5 off for 3 months) and you change your plan before it ends, you may lose all associated discounts or bonus features.
- __Suspended Accounts__: If your account is suspended, and you change your plan during reactivation, you will be eligible for in-market promos. If you don’t change your plan, then you’ll be able to continue with the remainder of any promos left on your account.

### Redeeming and seeing your promos
Here are some tips to redeeming your promo either through activating or on Self Serve:

- [Apply a promo when activating your plan](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/prepaid-101-adding-promo-when-activating-your-plan "Apply a promo when activating your plan")

Prepaid Koodo customer? Here's the 101 on redeeming your promos!

Prepaid 101 - Things to know about redeeming your promos

You can view the details of any promo on your account by logging in to Self Serve and visiting the Overview page. In the section called “My Promotions,” you’ll be able to see:

- Your usage on promo features (e.g. data bonuses).
- The remaining portion you have left if you’re on a promo that extends multiple months.

__Just to let you know__ 
- If you don't have a promo active on your account, the “My Promotions” section won't appear.
- If you do have a promo on your account, you'll also be able to see it on the “Base Plan and Booster Add-ons” page.

### Keeping track of bonus features
If you have a bonus promo (e.g. 500 MB of data), you can further track your usage on the “Phone Services” page by clicking the “Usage Summary" tab. 

### Keeping track of discounts
If your promo is a discount (i.e. Get $5 off), you can track your usage on the “Billing” page by clicking the “Transaction History” tab.

Health and safety

Keeping our customers and team safe in response to COVID-19 

If you’re currently a Koodo Prepaid customer and want to move your number to a provider within TELUS, we’ll automatically move your Koodo service over, so you can enjoy a smooth transition to one of our sister brands – even if your account status is expired. You’ll see the shifting without doing the lifting!
 
__Just so you know__
 
- An expired account state means your account is still active, but services are temporarily suspended because you did not top up to renew your account

- You’ll need to contact Customer Service for assistance, if you’re switching to Public or if your account status is in any other suspended state, such as blacklisted (fraud), lost, or stolen
 
- If you want to switch to a carrier outside of the TELUS network, this process can’t be applied; you’ll have to talk to your new carrier.


Enjoy a smooth transition to one of our sister brands!

Moving your number to another TELUS provider

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

If you’re travelling to another province, you can make Province-wide calls while you’re there. You’ll still receive unlimited incoming calls. But you won’t be able to call your home province while travelling and will need to get a Booster add-on. 

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

__1. Making calls__
- Unlimited outgoing calls to any phone number in B.C.

__2. Receiving calls__
- Unlimited incoming calls from any province in Canada and from any country

And you travelled to Quebec:

__1. Making calls__
- Unlimited outgoing calls to any phone number in Quebec.
- You won't be able to make outgoing calls to any other province, including B.C.

__2. Receiving calls__
- Unlimited incoming calls from any province in Canada and from any country

### Making calls to destination outside of your home province
You'll need a Canada-wide Talk Booster add-on to make calls to other provinces or a Long Distance Talk Booster add-on to make international calls. Remember, our Booster Add-ons don’t expire after 30 days, as long as you have an active base plan. Booster add-ons can be purchased any time by logging into your Self Serve account.

### Good to know
- Booster add-ons are available with province-wide plans

With province-wide calling on Koodo prepaid you can call any location in your home province! Find out more here.

## Recurring promos
If you’re on a recurring promo and your account is suspended, *you will only lose the promo if you reactivate on a new plan*.

For example, if you’re on a promo that provides 500 MB of bonus data for 5 months and you fall into suspend in month 2 and you decide to:

- __Reactivate on a new plan__: You will lose your recurring promo. However, you will still be eligible to any redeem promos that will be in-market at the time of activation. Learn how to apply a promo when changing your plan [here](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/prepaid-101-applying-promo-when-changing-your-plan "here").
- __Top-up on your existing plan__: You’ll be able to resume the remainder of your promo and receive the remaining 3 months of the promo after reactivating.

Just to let you know: Accounts are deactivated after 90 days of suspension. Learn how to reactivate your plan [here](https://www.koodomobile.com/help/topping-your-prepaid-account "here").
