How do I start a new Koodo Mobile account and set up service?

Answer

Start a Koodo plan on Koodo’s official website, app, or store, complete credit/ID checks if required, then activate the SIM or eSIM in the phone. Keep the phone on Wi‑Fi during eSIM install and test calls after activation.

Before you start: stop right away if…

  • Only complete Koodo signup on official Koodo channels.

Follow these steps

  1. Choose and purchase a Koodo plan

    On Koodo’s official site, app, or in store, select a new-plan option, enter your details, and complete checkout for a new line.

    You should see: You receive an order confirmation and SIM/eSIM instructions.

  2. Install the SIM or eSIM

    Insert the Koodo SIM or scan/install the eSIM profile on the phone over Wi‑Fi, then allow carrier settings to install.

    You should see: Koodo appears as a cellular plan on the phone.

  3. Activate and restart

    Finish any Activate steps Koodo shows, restart the phone, and wait for signal bars.

    You should see: The line shows active network service.

  4. Test calls, texts, and data

    Place a call, send a text, and open a website with Wi‑Fi off to confirm the new account is working end to end.

    You should see: Voice, SMS, and data work, or Koodo shows a specific activation error to fix.

Extra tips

What to look for: Plan confirmation, SIM ICCID or eSIM QR, activation success screens, and first-signal after restart

Before you change anything: Have government ID and payment method ready if Koodo requests them. Confirm the phone is unlocked if bringing your own device. Use only Koodo’s official channels. Do not share one-time codes with unexpected activators.
