Call cutting out when ringing businesses/landlines
Hello,
Ringing mobile to mobile is fine, no issues.
However, when I ring official business etc. such as The doctors, companies such as Virgin Media, I am guessing anyone that uses a business line other than a mobile, the conversation cuts out/delayed and it is even worse on loud speaker.
There is nothing wrong with my phone as it works normally with mobiles and my partners on Smarty and it does exactly the same with her mobile.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm getting this problem. Calling GP on landline, 0300 numbers especially. I can here them fine but they say I keep cutting out. Signal fine, reset phone (S23), wifi calling on and off, still no improvement. Really annoying

I'm also having this problem. always company landlines, not mobile phones. It's happened quite a few times to me making calls at home, but today it happened while I was out and about in central London.
Is this a SMARTY issue or a 3 issue?
Doesn't matter how cheap SMARTY are, if this issue can't be resolved I'm moving to another company.

Me too. Very irritating. And I don’t appreciate spending hours navigating chatbots

GordonG_1943421 The question that has been asked is are those numbers standard landline or are they 'internet' style numbers; by that I mean the 0203 numbers that a lot of compnanies seem to use and the call is then routed through to someone in another office/ at home?
- GordonG_1943421SMARTY Maverick21-08-2023
One was an 0331 number but the other two (where I've had the same problem a number of times) are local businesses with 0208 numbers

We can't call landlines at all at the moment

Having the same issue but only when connecting to companies with call routing software. Perfectly fine on calls to normal landlines and mobiles.

Can I check that you are able to call standard land line numbers? you can check your network status here, as we may be doign work on your local mast https://bit.ly/3EzWp6u

I've not experienced this issue using SMARTY MistaWood.
Sounds like there might be a network fault/problem with routing calls from mobile phones to landlines.
These faults can occur from time-to-time, but getting an answer from the service provider can sometimes be tricky. - Rebecca_1864790SMARTY Rookie09-03-2023
Hi mine is doing the same, when ever I ring the doctors or housing its cutting off or they can't hear me. There is nothing wrong with my phone and it works fine with my giffgaff simcard in.

Unfortunately seems like a SMARTY problem then ! Thanks

Not come across this before.
Are you always making calls from the same place i.e. home? Does the same thing happen when you make such a call from somewhere completely different?
- Catheri_2756325SMARTY Enquirer22-10-2024
It happens when I call from home.
- MistaWoodSMARTY Maverick10-03-2023
Yeah same thing happens in a different location
