Koodo Support

[Simmonz]

Have any Canadian users here tried the Volla X23 on the Koodo network ? Was wondering if sms and calls currently work before I go drop $900 on it.

@Simmonz I've got no relevant input, except that you might also consider whether you need MMS, and if that'll work. A while back I was with Public Mobile (under the Telus umbrella, like Koodo), and got a message that MMS would stop working with my phone. They suggested that I buy a newer phone from their "affiliate partner".
Sure enough MMS stopped working, everything else continued fine. This change was Telus wide. I asked for technical details of why that was happening and got nothing beyond "network changes". They couldn't confirm whether a given phone, if not on their officially supported list, would work or not, so I just switched networks. Lucky Mobile (Bell) has been fine.

Hopefully someone else can help, but if you learn more elsewhere, please report here. The combination of high price and uncertainty about network compatibility with Volla and Fairphone makes it hard to want to spend that kind of money for those outside Europe, just to cross your fingers and hope everything works.
