Hey @cjjohnst

Having your phone fixed is important for us.

What do you mean that we put the phone down on you?

You had a chance to go to one of our stores to get you your phone checked?

Can you tell us more about what was done on your end to have this fixed? 

[cjjohnst]

Fido has put the phone down on me twice at technical support . The technical support that the public get through to on the menu when we call in is NOT TECHNICAL SUPPORT ,it is Fido care . What do you mean ,by saying ,"what do you mean we put the phone down on you"?  I would think THAT is self explanatory . FIDO technical support is NON EXISTENT . I have had TWO texts telling me the problem is fixed and to call back . IT is NOT fixed . Fido said they would get escalated tech support to phone me at home . THEY DID NOT.

I am having thie same problem. My  wife is in Eurpoe, at the moment with her fido phne (pixel 2) and when I call  her I get the number is not assigned mesage. Regardless of where she is, shouldnt it at least go staright to voicemail? Makes no sense. Will switch carriers if this continues, she is wating for important calls.

Hey eatvan!

Don't worry, I'm sure we can get this figured out together!

Is this only happening when you call her number or are all callers unable to reach her? Is she able to place calls?

Has she tried connecting to a different network from the networks available where she is travelling to see if that changes anything? 

Let us know!

It happens from several different numbers. However, I think the point is being lost here. If the phone is turned off or out of service area, shouldn’t it just go to voicemail? The automated "this number has not been assigned" message gives the caller the impression that they have been given the wrong number as the number doesn’t exist. Why doesn’t it just go straight to vm?

Hey @eatvan!

The Community is here to help! Let us know if your wife is still experiencing this.

We're here to figures this out.  

Does this happen only while travelling? When you say that this happens with several different numbers, are you referring to your phone or your wife's?  Or perhaps is it happening with both? 

Are you able to select another network while roaming to see if there's any changes?

Hey cjjohnst! 

That sounds strange. 

If i understand correctly, this is only happening intermittently, is that right? 

Does this only happen in Vancouver or everywhere? Does the same thing happen when you put your SIM card in another phone?

Let us know!
