Can't receive calls

Hi, just moved to Smarty and transferred my old number. Can receive text messages and make calls but incoming calls go straight to my old EE voicemail. How do I make it call the phone?

    JoBeama_4555358​ I had this issue before. Try doing these things first if the issue happens to be on your device:

    • Restarting your phone, turning airplane mode on and off, and switching between 4G and 5G network modes
    • Make sure there is no call barring, forwarding or blocked numbers, and do not disturb or silent mode is disabled
    • Making sure VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling for the SIM are enabled
    • Reinserting the SIM and inserting the SIM into the second SIM slot if your phone is dual-SIM
    • Inserting the SIM into various other phones that are VoLTE capable
    • Updating the phone to the latest updates, as well as updating all applications
    • Resetting mobile network settings
    • Confirm you have network coverage and check the network status in your area
    • Testing services while outside a building, as well as in a different area, also confirming network coverage and no outages in that area

    If none of that worked, it may be a porting issue as was my case, which only the network can fix. You will need to talk to support via webchat. Scroll down till you find the 'Start a webchat' button, or click the chat icon at the bottom right of the screen. You will first be put with a bot, and you need to send your issue twice before it asks you for more account information and puts you with a human agent.

    List all the things you did on your device so they skip trying to do that, and they will create a ticket with the network team, which they will follow up with you via Email.
