Can’t make calls in Australia

Smatty305 — Sat, 24 May 2025 16:57:06 GMT

Hi.

I’m having the same problem as a few others it seems. I Have purchased the 7 day pass & have confirmation of it. I have tried all the suggestions from previous posts. I have Telstra set manually. Turned phone on & off a few times. Still nothing. I went through the EE app & bot said I had roaming on. I called a week or so before I left, to check it would be ok. Was told yes & had my spend cap removed, as here for weeks. Data works, text worked, as I had to register for this forum. Please help

Hi @Smatty305

Welcome to our community.

I've moved your other post over so that any advice will all be in the same place.

Can you tell me what happens when you try and make a call?

Hi.

I have solved it now.

I tried all networks & finally read somewhere, to use Telstra, so below was my attempts at getting going.

I selected Telstra manually. But it didn't work. Then restarted, still nothing good. After a few different ways of doing this I gave in. Last attempt was to turn off everything. Then restarted & turned everything else on bit by bit. Still no good. Restarted again & calls finally worked, although no caller ID shows on UK phones when I call. Although my wife’s phone shows it’s her. Lastly a bit of patience between each bit really helps I think.

Also before this, my wife couldn’t call me, totally silent on her phone in the UK

FYI before this, when I tried calling above the name it showed calling, then changed to call assist. At all times it was totally silent.

Thanks for your interest, greatly appreciated.

Hopefully this may help someone else.
