      I signed up for a monthly Koodo mobile plan in-store, intending to only get a line since I already had a phone. The salesperson offered a phone for just $1/month, so I agreed. However, the order was canceled because the phone was out of stock, even though they had already given me a SIM card and charged me $50.
      I contacted customer service to explain I only needed the line, not the phone. After some back and forth, the agent reactivated the offer and reordered the phone, but they mistakenly activated the line immediately—weeks before I even received the phone or SIM card.
      Later, I tried to get that first month’s charge removed since I couldn’t use the service yet, but their support was completely unhelpful. They also told me to return the SIM card to the store for a refund. The store only refunded $30 out of $50 and said the remaining $20 had to go through customer service—again, no help.
      Eventually, after experiencing poor service (slow mobile internet, missed voicemails), I switched providers. I was on a monthly plan with no term, and the phone was only meant to cost $1/month as part of a 24month promo. Now, my final bill shows a charge of over $200 for the phone I didn’t even want in the first place. I only accepted it because of the promotional deal.
      Koodo refuses to take the phone back or adjust the charge, even though it’s barely used and I only kept it because of the $1/month offer. * **** ****** *** ***** **** * ****** * ***** ******* **** ***** **** *********** *** *** **** ** ******* ** ******* Either return the phone or pay the originally agreed $24 instead of $200+

      I purchased on a two year term a certified pre owned phone from koodo. It was my 3rd one and never had issues with my previous ones.

      3 weeks ago the screen went dead. The phone works, alarm rings and it vibrates when plugged in.

      Since it is certified preowned, koodo offers 1 year warranty through them, not the manufaturer.

      I called and asked for assistance amd they told me my "trial period" was over. It meant i could not exchange it. I understood thst and all i wanted was to have it repaired. They told me to visit a store in my town. The store doesnt do anything for koodo. I called back and the second rep told me that the closest store called ****** ****** is in rimouski, 2 hours away. I did not find that acceptable that they asled me to travel 2 hours amd only offered to do a renewal having to pay the full balance.

      I asked for escalations. I asked if they could provide a box to ship it to the repair. They refused. Told me if i didnt want to go to do a renewal and they would take off half the owed balance. Again, not acceptable since they promise a warranty.

      The phone was not damaged whatsoever, even in pristine condition. I got the contact info for the store and called them. They said i could send it to them. I paid 38$ of shipping for this.

      A week later the store called and said they dont repair phones under koodo's own warranty. Now i could fix at my own risk at 460$ or have it shipped back again and pay for the shipping.

      I tried to reach out to koodo but i am being tossed around and ignored. Not only are they not honoring the warranty to have it fixed but i paid out of pocket for the shipping. I sinply need a resolution that they honor the warranty and fix it at no cost to me, and reimburse me for the damages.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      Koodo has offered no resolution that honored their own manufacturer warranty. 

      I made all of the efforts to send the phone to Telus/Koodo's repair partners *** ****** ****** in Rimouski, QC and both sides placed blame on each other for not honoring a warranty that covers repair qnd if no repair is possible, a replacement should be available.

      Even after a discussion with the store manager, they stated that whey they comtacted Koodo, they told him that I only had 30 days of warranty, not 1 year as per the standard, and that i had agreed to pay the repair costs, which i never did. 

      ****** has attempted to offer 50% off the remaining device balance +40$ for the shipping costs to send my phone to the store and to take a new 2 year contract. 

      i explained that my financial situation has been severe and i do not have the means to do a renewal and they offered that i refer people to join Koodo to get more credits. 

      i explained that with the customer service experience i have received from Koodo that i did not feel that referring them is appropriate nor offering me means for them to gain customers and more money.

      Also, by doing a renewal i would have to get a new phone, which none of the phones were affordable. He stated that i was not being realistic because i wanted a phone that would cost more. I explained that based on what was offered, any route i had would be more costly to me no matter what, and all i wanted was a phone that was of the same brand and functionality than the one i had. * **** *** ******* *** ****** *** ** *** ******* **** * ****** *** * **** * ** ******* *** ******* ****** ***** ** ***** ***** ** **** ********* **** **** * *** ****** **** 

      i said that i needed time to think about this since all offers made were in Koodo's advantage and not mine. They didn't honor the warranty, they did not facilitate having my phone repaired, i received numerous misinformation from agents; they misinformed the store; and the concluding offer obligates me to cancel the current contract and to renew and pay more for a plan, phone, device balance, etc. 

      This entire ordeal has been over a month long, and they offered the same thing during every single discussion. Even sfter this complaint, they made little to no extra effort to honor their warranty. 

      The only resolution i see fit at this point and time is for them to replace the phone under the same repair warranty as if a phone is not repairable they are responsible to replace the device, or offer to waive the entire device balance. Even if with the device balance waived, i will still need to get a new phone which will improve my cost but at the least i am not responsible to cover the cost of the device that i should not be responsible paying for since no one wants to honor the warranty to repair or replace it. 

      Considering the ******** customer service experience, misinformation and lack of responsibilty taken by Koodo and ****** ******, this is the least that they should do. I have advised them as such but they simply kept pushing back that no matter what, i had to pay out of pocket for something that i should not have been held responsible for. 


      Sincerely,



      **** ****** *****

      **** **** ******* ****** ********* ******** *** **** ** *****. My plan has always been "unlimited texting and calling across Canada". A month ago, this plan was changed without my knowledge; inserting calling limits. With the changes that Koodo installed behind my back, I have been charged for local (Ottawa) calls, my own number ###-###-#### is also charged (I never call myself). I have been charged for Toll Free numbers that governments and companies pay for, so that a caller does not have to pay. ****** *** *** ******** ***** 

      I spoke to the AI assistant first. It had no information regarding this issue. I called Koodo's number ###-###-#### eight (8) times and spoke to about three (3) representatives *** **** **** **** ******* *****. A typical monthly bill with Koodo was between $40 - $50. After the change, the bill came to $240.00 in March, 2025. Even after speaking to the representatives, they ignored all the exchanges I had with them. Instead, Koodo has just sent another bill for $385.84.

      Even though Koodo said the refund they owe me would be processed within 6weeks nothing has been resolved.

      Better Business Bureau:



      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is hopeful.

      Koodo issued my refund cheque which will be arrived within 4weeks.

      If it is not, I will contact BBB again to escalate this issue.


      Sincerely,



      *** *** ***
