Question

Cannot make or receive calls. Can text just fine.

I recently broke my Galaxy A20e which I got as part of a deal with iD mobile a few years ago.
I bought a refurbished replacement of the same make and model.
 

I’ve put my sim card in and I cannot make or receive calls. I can send/receive texts just fine and the WiFi is working.

I’ve tried all the steps in the following article twice but no success. Any advice?

Hi ​@NuclearWolf47 

 

Thank you for getting in touch.

We are very sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with calls in your replacement handset. 

When you go in to settings, if your number showing correctly?

 

Thanks, 

 

Natalie

Hi ​@Natalie W 

No, It just says “Unknown”.

Hey there ​@NuclearWolf47, we're working on fixing an issue in this area at the moment. We're sorry for any disruption this may be causing.

We hope to have things fixed as soon as possible and will add any updates here.

Therefore, this is likely affecting your signal currently, our apologies for that.

 

However, have you tried resetting your network settings on your phone? Also, do you have another device you can test the SIM card in at all?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi ​@Tyler 

Thanks for your reply. I didn’t know about the signal issue. I’ve reset the network settings, I’ve even reset the phone to factory settings with no luck.

I don’t have another device to test it on unfortunately. I will keep trying over the next week and hope that this signal issue is resolved by then. If not, I will get back in touch.

Thanks.
