TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Issues & Solutions

Most calls connect smoothly. Here are solutions if you encounter problems.

Call drops or disconnects

Check your internet connection if using a browser-based service. Mobile data or Wi-Fi should both work; switch between them if one is unstable.

Long connection delay

International routing can take 2–5 seconds. Wait before speaking; some calls connect silently at first.

Number not recognized

Verify you've entered all 8 digits of the Singapore number. Check that you dialed 00 65 before the local number.

Special numbers may not work

Some premium, emergency, or operator-assisted numbers in Singapore may not route through international calling services. Standard landlines and mobile numbers are fully supported.
