# Troubleshooting International Calling Issues

## If you're not able to make international calls and only get busy signals, here are steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

#### **1. Log In to Your Voiply Account Portal**

 Access your account portal via the [Voiply website](http://voiply.com/portal/) or mobile app. Navigate to the account settings and ensure that international calling is enabled. If it's not enabled, see our [Guide to Set Up International Calling](https://kb.voiply.com/guide-to-set-up-international-calling-1) for step-by-step instructions, or contact Voiply support for assistance. 

#### **2. Check the Dialing Format**

Make sure you're using the correct dialing format for international calls:

- From U.S. phone number to Canada: `1` + \[area code\] + \[number\]
- From U.S. phone number to Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and other territories: `1` + \[area code\] + \[number\]
- From U.S. phone number to other locations: `011` + \[country code\] + \[area code\] + \[number\]

Enter your International PIN if prompted.

**Example:** To call a number in the UK from the U.S., you would dial: `011` + `44` (UK country code) + \[area code\] + \[phone number\]. If prompted, input your International PIN.

#### **3. Confirm the Destination Number**

Double-check the number you're trying to reach. Ensure it's active, valid, and not blocked from receiving international calls.

#### **4. Test Your Voiply Connection**

Restart your Voiply device (e.g., phone adapter or VoIP phone). Ensure your internet connection is stable, as VoIP services require a reliable connection.

#### **5. Contact Voiply Support**

If the issue persists, reach out to Voiply Support for assistance. You can [submit a support ticket directly from your account portal](https://kb.voiply.com/residential-how-to-use-support-tickets-in-your-voiply-portal) for the fastest response. When submitting, include:

- The number you're trying to call
- The exact error message or busy signal details
- The time and date of the failed attempts

Our team can also check for any service restrictions or known issues affecting international calls.
