SOLVED Call box will not open entry door with iPhone

My building entry system calls my phone but when I press 9 the door will not unlock.


i searched for a solution on line and most recent was 2017. The info is of no help. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max with IOS 14.4 (most current update)


What I tried:

  1. turned phone off/on
  2. had my number removed from call system and put a different number in. The replacement number worked. Put my number my back and it still didn’t work
  3. did a factory reset without deleting the data
  4. called Sprint who reset my profile
  5. called Sprint who suggested I take my phone and get the Sprint SIMM card replaced with a TMobile SIMM card.
  6. went to a TMobile store who took about 20 minutes to swap out the card and now my phone unlocks the door.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

In my case, I did not have to restore my network settings or anything after I did the SIM card switch from Sprint to T-Mobile at the store. My phone was once again able to unlock the front door through the call box system. I have an iPhone 11, current iOS 14.6.

I really appreciate your posting. I have had the exact same issue with my iphone 11 with IOS 14.6. Before that I was able to buzz people into my apartment building by pressing #6 or #9 and it suddenly stopped working. I had the callbox company come out to try and resolve the issue and they could not help. I am also a Sprint customer and today I went to TMobile to swap out my SIMM card for a TMobile SIMM card. I was able to unlock the door with my phone after the swap.
