Hi ​@Marin1405,

 

I am so sorry to hear that you are facing issues with making and receiving calls. Please try the steps below, depending on the type of phone you have:

 

For Android:

  • Open Settings
  • Tap General Management
  • Tap Reset
  • Select Reset network settings

 

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:

  • Go to Settings
  • Tap Messages
  • Turn iMessage OFF
  • Go to Settings > General
  • Tap Reset
  • Choose Reset Network Settings
  • Once your iPhone restarts, go back to Settings
  • Tap Messages
  • Turn iMessage ON again

 

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

 

Regards,
