RollingJ   2,030 #3 Posted October 15, 2021 Before you do as @BigAl1 suggests above - good idea though - if you still have your old mobile, switch the SIM card back and see if it is OK in that phone. If it is, you need to contact the phone manufacturer (or where you bought it from) for advice. If both phones exhibit the same behaviour, contact you mobile provider.  Which phone it?

HeHasRisen   3,397 #5 Posted October 15, 2021 Is it possible you somehow have a cap set on your account, and landlines arent included in your free minutes so it cuts them off before you get charged? What network and package is it?

RollingJ Â Â 2,030 #6 Posted October 15, 2021 Would be interesting to know if the problem exists on the old phone if @kay1still has it. Just looked at the manual for the phone - no reference to this issue at all, unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
BigAl1   143 #7 Posted October 15, 2021 I find it very hard to believe that this is a generic fault in the model of phone I would have thought that the issue is most likely with the airlime /sim supplier or a one off fault with the phone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RollingJ Â Â 2,030 #8 Posted October 15, 2021 I suspect a one-off phone fault, too - but until Kay comes back with some answers we can't really usefully speculate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
BigAl1   143 #9 Posted October 15, 2021 I am not at all sure how we could have helped at all apart the obvious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
