Hello @pwradar51 

Please note, you will need to upgrade your phone very soon as 3G will no longer be available in Canada. 
As you mentioned, you can still receive calls, just not from the intercom. A few things. Add the intercom number to your contact list. Then, open the phone app, tap on the three dots which is more options, select settings and then tap on the blocked numbers to view or edit the list. Make sure the number wasn't accidently blocked. Also, you may want to turn off "block unknown callers" as a trial and error. That was an issue with my phone is I had that on and it was blocking my intercom.

I have a Samsung A70 how do I find the prompt for to stop it going to my voice mail so I can use it on my intercom

hi @pwradar51 

Samsung A70 is not a phone that can use PM's Voice over LTE, it is still using 3G for voice calls.   So you will start getting worse voice calls experience.   It is best to upgrade your phone to a more modern one that will work with PM's VoLTE

Samsung A70 not sure what all the other stuff is, but my phone is working fine calls coming in and going out working well. Receiving messages fine except for intercom.

hi @pwradar51 

what phone do you have?

Telus is refarming all of their 850 to 10 MHz LTE B5 in their markets, mainly BC, AB, Windsor, Ottawa, GTA area Montreal, Quebec City.   Bell has not done this, so it won't affect area that has Bell networks which Telus/PM use

If you phone has VoLTE and is compatible with PM VoLTE, you shouldn't be impacted at all.  Check here:

But if your phone is not not on PM's VoLTE whitelist, and if your phone has only 850 Band 5 on the phone but lacks 1900 Mhz, if your phone were bought from another country, or an imported model, then you might be impacted with no 3G voice service at all
On the other hand,  if the phone has 1900 Mhz,  or it is a Canadian/US model,  it likely won't be impacted as much but the voice calls quality might still degraded.

I'm getting my calls as usual except the intercom. Been living in the apt 8 years so no not a new number.

@pwradar51 

are you getting any incoming calls at all? Is that a new activation with phone number port in?
