Hi ​@Wendy56

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues calling landline numbers, especially so soon after joining iD Mobile.

 

Please try the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Restart your handset.
  • Turn Airplane Mode on for around 60 seconds, then switch it back off.
  • Ensure your handset software is fully up to date.
  • Check that your preferred network mode is set to 4G/LTE or 5G Auto.
  • Enable VoLTE/4G Calling if your handset supports it.
  • Reset your network settings.
  • Try calling a few different landline numbers to confirm whether the issue affects all landlines or only specific numbers.
  • If possible, test your SIM in another compatible handset to see if the issue persists.

If you're still unable to call landlines after completing these steps, please contact us via Live Chat or send us a direct message through one of our social media platforms. Once we've completed the necessary security checks, we'll be happy to investigate this further for you.

 

We apologise again for the inconvenience caused.
