Question

incoming call issue

I've only had my new phone for just over a week and on 3 occasions so far I have realised that phone is not taking incoming calls. I have tried switching the dim card off and then back onĀ  I have checked that VoLTE is on. The only thing that temporary resolves the issue is to restart my phone. My concern is that I don't know when the issue happens and are missing important calls. Another issue is t hat the Number gir RCS calls is incorrect and I'm unable to update it

    Hi ​@AlastairO,

    Ā 

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues receiving calls on your new phone, particularly as restarting the handset only resolves the problem temporarily.

    Ā 

    Please try the following:

    1. Turn Airplane Mode on for around 60 seconds, then switch it back off.
    2. Go to your Network Selection settings, switch Automatic selection off and manually select iD Mobile/Three UK. Once connected, switch Automatic selection back on.
    3. Perform a network settings reset.
      • Samsung/Android: Settings > General management > Reset > Reset mobile network settings.
    4. Restart the handset and test making and receiving calls again.

    Ā 

    For the incorrect RCS number:

    1. Open Google Messages.
    2. Tap your profile picture > Messages settings > RCS chats.
    3. Switch RCS chats off.
    4. Restart the phone.
    5. Switch RCS chats back on and allow the number to verify again.

    Ā 

    If the incorrect number is your temporary iD Mobile number following a recent number transfer, please also allow some time for RCS to update after the transfer.

    Ā 

    If the incoming call issue continues after the network reset, please contact our Live Chat team so they can investigate further and arrange a replacement SIM/eSIM or technical escalation if required:Ā https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat
