It is well publicised in the News that there is a major power supply issue in the Iberian peninsula. This will obviously affect the local mobile networks. There is nowt EE can do to help there. Contact your local council (conselho) & find out what they are doing about it.

Hi @Tony2464 
 

Thanks for coming to our community.

 

I'm sorry you are having trouble making calls. I've sent you a private message so I can get some information.

I also have the same issue, can't make outgoing calls to UK landlines or mobiles, but can receive calls and text messages. At present I'm using the NOS / EE network, NOS is a major communications company in Portugal, surely EE can contact NOS requesting them to check their network.

Hi @Whythis 

Have you spoken to our technical team about this yet? If so did they take some details to investigate this?

What makes you think that comms are not underway between networks?

Lesley, I'm unable to make any outgoing calls at present, perhaps you could ask your technical teams to contact me.

I have restarted my phone, powered down my phone and removing the sim card, unfortunately no change.

We're not able to arrange call backs from here @Whythis, though it is unlikely you'd be able to receive a call if our team were able to do so.

Are you able to reach out to our team using a friend or family member's phone?

Try calling CS on the Freephone no. in my sig. on Skype over WiFi. It should be free.
