Have you 4G Calling enabled? In some countries where 3G has been turned off their can be problems.

Try manually selecting a different network or, if possible select 2G only when you try to make a call

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Turn 5G off. O2 do not have 5G roaming in many countries.

@StevieMcG 

In your phone settings menu and look under network and sim settings.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
