Wifi off, but holy crap turning OFF the dial assist did it - Thank You big time!!! I have no home phone and this has been a pain! Was doing the fast dial and then "call cannot be completed as dialed"

That is purely a carrier issue, unless you perhaps have a VPN connection AND you have Wi-Fi calling.


There isn’t much you can do without your carrier’s assistance. Here are a couple of things that MIGHT affect this issue:


  • Settings/Phone/Dial Assist should be ON. If it is, try turning it off.
  • Try turning off Wi-Fi
  • Try either adding or removing a “1” before the number: 1-877… or just 877 without the 1.
