TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Calling Issues

Call won't connect

Check that you've entered the full number with +94 country code and no leading 0. Verify the recipient's number is correct. If calling a landline, confirm the area code is valid (11 for Colombo, 81 for Kandy, etc.). Try again after a few minutes; network congestion may be temporary.

Poor call quality

Special numbers don't work

Recipient says they can't hear you

Check your internet speed and microphone settings in Sayfone. Ask the recipient to verify their number is correct and that they're not using a device with call-blocking settings. Try using a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi.

Rate applied is different
