Hi @Jools08 

Have you tried the SIM in your phone to see if it works correctly. 

If so the it's related to his device.

Thanks

Hi @Northerner 

thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I have tried the sim in a different phone, same thing. I’ve also put a different sim in the XR that sim works so it would suggest it is a sim problem?

Hi @Jools08,

What happens when you try to make a call from the SIM?

This is happening with my phone. I can’t make calls and therefore can’t call the support number. I got a new SIM a couple of weeks ago. I can access data but can’t make calls

can you please help

My new sim was set up to work in an iPad not an iPhone which was why it would y make calls I used a different device to phone tech support to resolve the issue

I'm having the same issue can you help also

Hello @CiaranTags

Is this a replacement SIM or a new contract SIM?

What happens if you try to make a call?
