Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on the following.

 

I am on Skinny prepay and use wifi calling. I have an Android phone (Pixel 8 Pro).

 

My employer uses the Spark network. 

 

On three occasions now, two team leaders from work have tried to call me on my mobile using their respective work supplied mobile (Iphones).

 

Each time my phone will ring maybe two rings then stop and it will show a missed call.

 

The callers phone will have the normal ringing tone and then after about two rings will disconnect and their phone will display the message "call cancelled".

 

These two people have called me in the past without issue. This issue has only arisen since April this year. TXT messages go through to and from without issue.

 

I have tried calling my phone with one on the 2degrees network and it goes through fine without any issues.

 

To be honest I'm not too fussed about it as when they call it's usually because they want me to come into work!

 

Just curious as to what's going on.

 

 

 

Edit: If I call them the issue does not occur.

You'll need to call Skinny/Spark support, lodge a ticket and provide them with your number, the calling parties number, and timestamps of example calls. They should be able to escalate that to the complex faults team to investigate. I'm sure they'd be very interested if this is a recreatable fault you're experiencing. Fresh examples are best.





Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

Try turning that off for now and see if the problems still happen.

 

It could be a case of your router causing issues with inbound WiFi calling.

Have you tried it with WiFi calling off? Does it happen at work only or any location? Could it be related to the network?

Have only tried with wifi calling off and calling with a 2degrees phone.

 

I have been at home when these calls come in and the caller has been at work. As far as I can see this has only happened with these two callers. Other calls to my phone, be it landline or mobile come through fine.

 

I'll have a play around over the weekend and see what happens.

Turning wifi off made no difference. Calls fail to connect.

Is there one SIM card on the phone only?
