Incoming callers say my number is unavailable

Today when any EE contacts or numbers ring me they are told my number is unavailable or unobtainable 

 

other network numbers can ring me no problems. Tried Tesco mobile, vodaphone, O2 and they all ring even though they are not stored in my contacts 

strangely, my mother is on EE PAYG and can ring me - contract EE phones cannot 

 

EE Numbers can still FaceTime and SMS message me.

 

i can ring them, FaceTime and message.

 

I have rang EE and a level 2 technician will ring me back.

 

I have reset the network - EE have refreshed from their end too

i have turned the phone off on 

i have checked no numbers have been accidentally blocked

i have checked phone settings such as do not disturb, incoming calls to ALL 


its phone XR

 

has anyone else has a similar problem 

 

I really don’t want to have to factory reset the phone as I have too many photos that won’t fit in my cloud storage plan

Hi I switched over 10 years ago 

I have been with EE Since 2002 with exactly the same number

why can NON EE numbers ring me and get through? But EE contracted numbers cannot. 

plus I can call EE and non EE

Hi @Cr123

 

Welcome to the community.

 

It's good to know that the level 2 technical team are on the case, hopefully they can get to the bottom of it soon.

 

Keep us posted on what happens.
