These are codes used by telus technical support to indicate the issue for which you are recieving an intercept message ( your call cannot be completed as dialed.....) The 8 identifies the main issue likely in your case that the issue is on your recipients side vs yours ( pm/telus). It could be as simple as the phone is off the hook to a loss of service.....try a different method of contact in the short term and try dialing later.

Well...for starters...it's 5:30 in the morning!! 🙂

Keep trying say every 15 minutes. Is the recipient still an active number?

Try dialing 1 infront of the area code.  If that does not work then submit a ticket to a moderator by clicking on the question mark on the bottom right corner.

@Margie1 Try adding a 1 in front of the number. Of this fails contact the moderators and ask them to have the technical department look into it for you.  There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:
