Samsung Galaxy S7 not allowing me to leave message on landline answerphone

Anonymous — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 15:17:48 GMT

My Galaxy S7 won't allow me to leave messages on a landline answerphone - it rings, trips to answerphone and I can hear the message, but it then cuts out before I can leave a message. The other O2 phone in our family (a Note 4) can leave a message on the same answerphone - so it is my phone and not the number I am dialling.

Any ideas, please?

Does the landline have any call blocking facility at all?

Thanks for your reply. No, there is no call blocking on the line that I'm aware of.

The landline is actually our home number, on Virgin. I'll try the tips from the AndroidCentral link to see if it works and report back...

i hope this works for you, but understanding that you are using virgin for your landline not sure if the problem would of been the same as mine. Hopefully they will solve it for you.

If you still encounter this issue call customer service and asked to be transfered over to tech support. They may be able to help a bit more if it is S7 voicemal glitch or network settings.

Well, some of the setting names were not the same but I switched off 4G calling (which looks like it is the same thing) then restarted the phone... and it worked!

Thank you everyone for your help.
