Unable to make calls

Someran — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 17:36:30 GMT

Hello, I have been unable to make calls on my Smasung Galaxy S8, but my current plan is supposed to include unlimited calling. The message I get when trying to send out a call is "Sorry, can not complete your call you do not have a long distance add-on and the call is not covered by your plan get an add-on by dialing *611." and I am looking for options to troubleshoot this.

@Someran dial a 1 in front of the number. And add a 1 to all the numbers in your contact list. Stay safe.

They're not long distance numbers, I'm just unable to make calls. I tried this though to no avail.

@Someran try in order:
1.Restarting your phone. Turn it off, remove the SIM card, reinsert it, wait 5 minutes and restart it.
2.Putting your phone on aeroplane mode for 5 minutes. Take it off and restart.
3.From your self service account enable the lost/ stolen feature log out, wait 5 minutes, log in and take it off. Log out and restart your phone.

If these tricks fail,

contact the moderators and ask them to to reset your service. There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:

Hi,

I believe it is an issue with the SIM card. I am also unable to use data and send text messages.
