US calls and txt are not getting received

I bought the US roaming package, and now that I’m in the US, no one in the US can call ( goes straight to voicemail) and no text msg either. 

Any suggestions?

For curiosity, see if volte is enabled. Or evidence that the phone stay on LTE when on a call.

Thanks everyone! It looks like a network reset was the ticket.

@Andrew007 - try restarting your phone, or perform a reset of the device's network settings.

I had another thought...even without the US Roaming add-on, you should still be able to receive texts, just not able to send texts.

Make sure Roaming Data is enabled in the settings on the phone.

 


Roaming data doesn't need to be enabled for SMS and phone calls. For those parts of the service, that setting won't make a difference.

Hi @Andrew007 make sure you able to connect to T-Mobile first.  If it does  not connect, try to manually connect to T-Mobile .  And try in different area

yes, US voice is hard to connect, try 2 things

 

first try VoLTE

enabled VoLTE on your device 

iPhone: Settings->Cellular->Cellular Data Options->Voice & Data, enable 4G or LTE there

Pixel Settings->Network and Internet->Internet, click on the settings icon besides SIM 1, turn on 4G calling there

Samsung/ Other Android: Settings->Connection->Mobile Data, enable VoLTE there

 

if that does not work, try to change the Preferred network type or network mode to 2G

 

see if it works
