@ No phone service

pjpj1
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

Suddenly, mid-day this past week, could no longer receive or make calls. After dialing, there is a long pause of silence, then a Bing! And sometimes the message "No Mobile network available for calls" appears. I've waited this out for several days in case of a storm-related (or other) outage. But am frustrated and seeking guidance. Have sent in a service ticket, and want to cover all bases. Thanks in advance if you've wisdom to share ...

mobile data works?  Text works?

What model of phone is that?  Try Rebooting your phone and click Reset Network Settings

If that still fails, it could be a problem with the lack of VoLTE service on your model of phone.   If your phone is not on PM's VoLTE whitelist , then it will be using 3G for voice and it might be affected by this:

Telus is currently  refarming the 850MHz band 5 spectrum and hence you are left with 1900MHz for voice calls.

While one compatible band is still sufficient, reality is  1900 MHz could have less coverage, depending on your proximity to a tower and hence you are seeing a poor or no coverage with voice  (Data is not impacted as your phone has the compatible bands on 4G/5G)

You can confirm if your phone is on the VoLTE by using the IMEI checker on this page:

If this is really what affecting your voice calls, there is really nothing much you can do other than getting a phone that is on PM's own VoLTE whitelist.
