I have been trying to phone a hotel 01539533666, but I get unreachable number error straight away.  My wife can can call this number OK from her ee phone and OK from a Vodafone mobile. So why can't I from my ID phone (pixel 6a)

Hi ​@HWJONES ,
 

Thanks for letting us know. I’m sorry you’re having trouble calling that number. I’ve checked, and since your wife can reach it from EE and Vodafone, this suggests the issue might be related to ID Mobile’s routing for that specific number.
Here’s what you can try first:

Restart your Pixel 6a and ensure you have a strong signal.
Check if Wi-Fi Calling is enabled—sometimes disabling it temporarily helps.
Try dialing the number with the international prefix: +44 1539533666 instead of starting with 0.
 

If the issue persists, contact our Live Chat team are available from:
9am - 8pm Monday to Friday
9am - 6pm Saturday, Sunday, and Bank Holidays.
You can access Live Chat here: www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat, or please reach out to us on here via Facebook or Instagram, Live Chat, our Community page, or by emailing socialqueries@idmobile.co.uk with the detail
