Error code 8B1

[Skipppy]

Hi, 

Ever since I switched to public mobile there are certain phone numbers I can't call. I get this automated message 8B1 your call cannot be completed ....  I tried with a 1 + area code + number and without the 1 or any other combination. Still get the same result.  The number I'm trying to call is my dad's land line and it works.

Hi @Skipppy, have you tried doing a network reset on your phone? (note: this will erase your wifi and bluetooth connections so you will need to reconnect to them)

Another suggestion has been to turn off your phone, remove your SIM card wait a minute or so and then reinsert and turn on the phone, try calling your desired number

You could get the same outcome by toggling airplane mode without all the inconveniences.

@Skipppy , that could be due to network loading in the local area.  Try toggling airplane mode to re-establish connection to the network.
