I’ve had two calls recently where the caller has advised they’ve had an international dial tone when calling me, making it look like I’m abroad.
I’ve been at home on both occasions connected to WiFi calling.
Any idea why this is happening?

Lots of reports of the same issue. Surely this is now being tracked as a central problem and not individual issues?

Good morning all,
I would recommend giving us a call and speaking with our technical support team.
The team will be able to perform a network reset should this be required to stop any international dial tone whilst in the UK.
Katie 🙂

This has been happening when I call my mum who is on 1pmobile (EE) I’m on 02 but when I call her I occasionally get the international ring tone. As someone has already pointed out it’s not the receiving phone or the calling phone that generates the ring tone it’s the network so no amount of resets of either phone will cure this. It’s a network issue pure and simple and EE need to sort it out.
my guess and it’s just a guess is that some calls perhaps at peak times are being routed overseas and called from there. That doesn’t mean you’ll get a silly bill it’s just how the network is routing the call.

This has happened to me in the last week or so. I phoned 150 and very nice guy puzzled then reset network settings from his end. It happened again this morning! It’s intermittent and seems to becoming a frequent issue from this thread.
