Hi, can any body recommend any ideas of how to solve this issue. I’ve always had no problem contacting my Dad on his landline, I went to call this morning and it says that I have entered the wrong number I made the call off my recent calls list, I then entered the number manually and the same message. I’ve restarted the handset, toggled airplane mode on and off as suggested and nothing has worked. Could this be a fault with my Dads landline phone ? @@Members

In addition to the questions posed in the previous reply, whom or what is "it" that says you have entered the wrong number? And how does "it" tell you this?
Is it an audible announcement, or an on-screen popup?

@Belburn78 : I presume other calls connect OK.
Have you checked with your Dad by other means, e.g. email, that his landline is not down or disconnected?

Hi @Belburn78
Please try contacting your dad from another phone, preferably one from a different mobile network. If you get the same error, it's most likely an issue with his landline phone.
As @XRaySpeX mention, if you're able to make all other calls normally, it'll be worth getting in touch with your dad by other means to check with him if he is aware of any issues with his landline.
He'll need to contact his Landline Provider to let them know of any faults he may be experiencing.
