Still unable to make and receive calls

Since Wednesday I have been unable to make and receive normal phone calls. It only works once after I turn my phone off and on again, after this, I can no longer be contacted. This problem has been ongoing for quite a while now. I’m aware of the Three outage but many replies state that it has been resolved however I am STILL having problems.

Before I receive the copy and paste messages, yes I have voLTE turned on.

When will this issue be FULLY resolved for all.

Did the problem start before this week’s service disruption, ​@hadd18?

@andewhite , No it did not. It started after the service disruption. I’m guessing these issues are as a result of it.

Just a big shame that I’m still incurring problems after it has supposedly been ‘fixed’

I have the same problem, it started Tuesday afternoon, we noticed io about 16:00. We’re leaving iD ( or 3) for another network.

@Ron C Honestly don’t blame you at all. Thinking about doing the same as this is not the first time this has happened. It’s getting ridiculous now especially with the lack of communication or help available!

Try switching the VOLTE  in your settings. I had the same problem until I switched that on.

Sorry to hear that ​@Mick77791. Is it affecting calls, texts and data?

 

Does the issue occur outside of this postcode given?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi it’s indoor at my postcode it was always three to four bars signal before I had my phone replaced which resolved some if it and if I go to different post codes in my area where it would be normally full signal never had an issue with signal before it dropped after the outage it was fluctuating the night before the outage I have been with id for 2 years and had a three mobile number for 15 years and the signal was never a issue before

Hey there ​@Mick77791, sorry to hear that. So the issue is only at your home postcode, is that correct? Or are you having signal issues elsewhere also now?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

No problem. So you do get signal at home, it’s just weak signal? 

 

When you’ve only got one or two bars at home, does it affect calls, data and texts?

 

Also to clarify, I’d recommend manually changing to 4G/LTE only when at home, as you live in a weak 5G area:

Furthermore, please provide the other full postcode(s) you have issues please?

 

Thanks,

Tyler
