We're sorry but the number you have dialed has calling restrictions which prevents the call from being completed Announcement 19

I haven't been able to make any outbound calls since yesterday. I have been on the phone with Xfinity mobile and troubleshooting all these steps to no avail. Nothing is working and apparently there are alot off users with the same problems. Even before that I was having trouble making calls and receiving a different but similar error message. They had me switch to WiFi calling and allow roaming but nothing helped. This is very frustrating and I'm thinking about switching back to Verizon as this is ridiculous

From my previous posts on getting this fixed.....

"I was finally able to get this fixed. I tried the chat...nothing worked...I tried calling the main number....took over an hour and still nothing. FYI - it is not your SIM card. No need to replace that.

As others have stated, you need to call in to get this fixed.

I went to the Xfinity store by my house and the guy gave me this number which is to their "Tier tech support". After entering some info I was able to speak to a person and they fixed it in about 5 minutes....a few of which was taken by me resetting my phone.

The number is eight, six, six, four, six, one, zero, eight, zero, five . I then had to enter a store number, which for me was One, Seven, One, Three.

Then they ask for your account number. Then, after describing in detail the issue, they fixed it almost immediately.

Hope this helps. What a frustrating experience!"

@Ag279​ Thank you!!  Got an agent! So helpful!  And I didn't even need to reboot my internet modem for the 6th time! 

Xfinity, I hope you are checking these forums and seeing what a nightmare your IVR is for people having mobile issues.

I know this is a shock - but I have the same issue!  I recently ported to Xfinity Mobile from AT&T.  Everything works fine but outbound calls.  Inbound, text, data, all good.  I can't seem to get through to a human on the Xfinity chat - what is the trick there?  I have no other phones to call support........  I have reset network settings, rebooted, yada yada yada.....

@dking1995​ I was finally able to get it resolved after I got connected to some godsend tier 2 support agent. What I did was call, and keep on asking for a human until I got connected, then insist on getting connected to higher tier support. I had tried everything by that point and nothing had helped but after explaining that, the higher tier agent went into my settings and “reset” them somehow. That fixed it.

@dking1995​ See my post above on how to get to the correct tech support to get this fixed. I had this issue and went thru all of the same things. Once I called the number and got to the correct support person it was quickly fixed.

Thanks @Ag279 and @user_731b64 I will try to do that again after my new SIM card arrives and certainly fails to fix the issue.  They would not escalate my ticket without first sending me a new SIM (typical support structure at a huge company, not allowed to escalate until certain things happen, but by then the customer experience is ruined).  Of course, I had to do it over chat too....

As expected - new SIM did not fix the issue.  They escalated to higher level support, and finally got it fixed.  Maybe they should take note of this error so they have a quicker resolution for next time :D
