iPhone 16 pro user, switched from EE to ID, using eSim. Port happened Friday and everything else works apart from outgoing calls.

Help.

Hmmmm I’m gonna have to swap back to a better network - not being able to make outgoing calls is fundamental to having a mobile phone, isn’t it??

Hi ​@Boxclever1753,

 

I'm really sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your services since transferring your number. Please try the steps below:

 

For iPhone: 

  • Go to Settings
  • Tap Phone
  • Tap My Number
  • Delete the old number
  • Enter the new number
  • Tap Save

 

Then follow these steps to refresh iMessage: 

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap Messages
  3. Turn iMessage OFF
  4. Go to Settings > General
  5. Tap Reset
  6. Choose Reset Network Settings
  7. Once your iPhone restarts, go back to Settings
  8. Tap Messages
  9. Turn iMessage ON again


Your iPhone should now recognise the new SIM and verify your number.

 
Regards,

Still not working, even after reset and having to put my wifi password back in to get on my home internet.

This is dreadful, I have young children and a full on job and need to be able to make calls.

 

Is this it? I change back to a better network?
