we're sorry the number you have dialed has calling restrictions announcement 19

I just got a new phone and started with xFinity mobile today. I'm already majorly regretting this decision. I have 2 phone lines and one of them is working perfectly fine. The other one (mine) is giving me this message everytime I try to make an outgoing call : "we're sorry the number you have dialed has calling restrictions announcement 19"

I cannot call anyone, and i have already transferred from my other carrier so I can't make any calls at all. I have been trying the customer support line for an hour and I can't get a representative. 

Any help would be appreciated, I'm losing my mind.

Hi Leon, 

I am facing the same issue, Today I have purchased new iphone and transferred my existing line to Xfinity, It got activated successfully, I am able to receive text messages, incoming calls, but not able to make out-going call, Same message as you posted I am hearing, Please let me know if you are able to get resolved.

@user_c29455​ please see my comment for more but I recommend going into a store location. No wait, they fixed this exact issue for my husband in minutes just this morning.

I also have the same issue. I transferred over two lines today from ATT and one of the lines cannot make outgoing calls, it can only receive calls and send/receive texts (the second line is working fine). After almost 2 hours of talking to customer service, they are sending a new sim card. Based on what I've searched online about this issue from others, I'm doubtful a new sim card will fix the issue.

@user_4e3ceb​ That sounds exactly like my issue, except they did nothing to fix it. They gave me the runaround with customer service for 2 hours and then said they needed to "escalate the ticket" and it would be "solved in 3-4 hours" 

I went to bed and tried this morning and its still not working.

@user_4e3ceb​ go into the store. They fixed this issue for my husband super fast! Without a new SIM. Plus you can get a new SIM in store immediately instead of waiting for them to ship it.

My husband and I also switch Sunday and my husband had this exact issue. We called 100 times to the Support line and they were useless. We went in to a store and explained the situation and it was resolved in minutes! They told him his SIM wasn’t configured to work with his phone or something and they basically had to make some changes really quick. Go into a store! They also have a direct dial to Xfinity Support for their use so you won’t have to wait on hold or anything. They also have us an additional $250 (for a total of $500) off our phones because of a grace period deal of some kind.
