When I call my mom's land line, the call cannot be completed. It used to work, but has stopped working. Any idea how to fix this problem?

My mom's land line no longer allows my calls from my iphone 8 plus to be completed. Any idea how to fix this issue?

ErinCathcart,


Got it.


Given the issue is only with your device, along with reaching out to your carrier, we'd recommend ensuring she hasn't accidentally blocked your number somehow, you may need her telephone providers assistance for that. While there have been a number of iOS updates, none of them would affect you being able to contact a landline.


Also to confirm, what is the message you hear when trying to connect the call? Does it give any specific error?


Let us now and we'll keep isolating.


Take care.

Hi ErinCathcart,


We see while attempting to call into your mother's landline, the call does not connect.


To ensure we're on the same page, can you clarify the following?

  • Can she call you? As in, if she calls your iPhone number does it connect?
  • Do you know if other numbers have issues contacting that landline? Particularly other cellular numbers? If so, this indicates an issue with the landline service, not your iPhone.
  • Were you able to contact this number previously? If so, was there any change or update after which you no longer could contact the landline number?
  • Have you reached out to your carrier?


If the issue persists after verifying the previous information, let us know those requested details, and we'll continue from there.


Cheers!

  • Can she call you? As in, if she calls your iPhone number does it connect? Good question - yes, she can call my iphone
  • Do you know if other numbers have issues contacting that landline? Particularly other cellular numbers? If so, this indicates an issue with the landline service, not your iPhone. I checked and my sister's iphone has no problem calling the number.
  • Were you able to contact this number previously? If so, was there any change or update after which you no longer could contact the landline number? Good question - yes, I used to be able to phone her number, and I believe it stopped working a couple of months ago, so I am sure there have been some updates.
  • Have you reached out to your carrier? I have tried Koodo's self-serve and community help sites, will next try to talk to a human.

Thank you for your interest and help! Erin
