Question

Telephone Calls, on both Wi-Fi and Mobile signal, have a three second delay. How do I fix this?

Hey,

What options do I have to get this issue fixed?

I can’t try another phone as the Help Hub suggests as I don’t have another compatible phone. 
(Though, this phone has been working perfectly on another network for months.)

Thanks for any help,

 

Andy

    Hi Michael Z,

    I’m not confident that whatever was going on has been fixed. 
     

    Recently I completely lost my mobile signal (twice), so I do wonder if some work is being carried out on the local mobile towers. 

    It still doesn’t explain why WiFi calling was also having issues. Though, I did manage to successfully have a WiFi call last week.

    Hi,

    Is it possible to port my mobile number off of this network, but still retain a SIM with my current contract on it?

    I just can’t use this network, for my main number. 
    Hope you can help.

    Kind regards,

    Andrew

    Just want to keep this topic current. Lots of customers (including me) seem to be getting an identical three-second delay on both Wi-Fi and Mobile signal.

    It’s a specific known fault that seems to have lots of workarounds that don’t seem to work, and points to IDMobile’s calling infrastructure having some problem.

    Does anyone know what IDMobile are doing about this, other than suggesting customers go elsewhere?
