Roaming SIM (South Korean) not working on Telus profile - Worked fine on Koodo

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a strange network issue after switching my service from Koodo to Telus.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S24 (Canadian model)

Current Setup: Telus (Main) + South Korean SIM (Roaming)

The Issue:

My South Korean SIM card, which I use for international roaming, has completely lost its signal since I switched my carrier to Telus. It shows "No Service" or appears to be blocked from the network.

The Context:

When I was with Koodo, this exact same Korean SIM worked perfectly on this exact same S24 device. I had no issues picking up roaming signals.

As soon as I switched to Telus, the Korean SIM can no longer find or register on any network.

Since Koodo and Telus share the same network infrastructure, I am confused as to why the carrier profile change is affecting my secondary SIM's ability to roam.

What I’ve tried so far:

Rebooted the device multiple times.

Performed a Network Settings Reset.

It feels like the Telus carrier profile on the S24 might be more restrictive or has a different configuration regarding roaming handshakes compared to the Koodo profile.

    Has anyone else experienced issues with secondary roaming SIMs after moving to Telus? Are there specific APN settings or carrier-level provisioning I should check?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Best regards,

      Hi Jason - this is strange behavior for sure. We don't block secondary SIMs but it could have been due to the migration from Koodo. Are you able to use your TELUS line without issues?

        Yes, my TELUS line (604-445-0700) is working perfectly without any issues. The problem is strictly isolated to the secondary Korean SIM, which started occurring immediately after the migration from Koodo.
